Interstitial Cystitis (IC) also know referred to as Painful Bladder Syndrome (PBS) is a chronic, inflammatory condition of the bladder which is characterized by symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency, dysuria (painful urination), nocturia (night urination), dispareunia (painful intercourse), and pelvic pain. The symptoms are much like that of a urinary tract infection, however, it is not caused by bacteria, therefore not relieved by antibiotic treatment.
