Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome is a complex and chronic medical condition that primarily affects the urinary bladder, leading to a range of distressing symptoms. This disorder is characterized by the inflammation of the bladder’s lining, resulting in recurring and often severe discomfort, urgency, and frequency of urination. Interstitial cystitis remains challenging to diagnose and manage, as its precise causes are not fully understood, and it can mimic other urinary tract disorders. Individuals living with interstitial cystitis face a significant impact on their quality of life, as the symptoms can be disruptive and emotionally taxing. Patients’ responses to treatment are highly variable. This activity reviews the approach, investigation, and management of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating this challenging disorder.
