Abstract
Interstitial cystitis is a clinical condition occurring predominantly in women and is characterized by urinary frequency, urgency, and pain. Patient symptoms have the potential to significantly affect quality of life, posing a challenge to some to perform activities of daily living. This article comprehensively reviews the literature on the epidemiology, etiology, evaluation, and treatment of interstitial cystitis, and considers commonly associated pelvic floor dysfunction.Entities:
