Abstract:
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is characterized by pain, oppressing sensation, or discomfort associated with the bladder, accompanied by lower urinary tract symptoms, lasting for more than 6 weeks (or 6 months). Since IC/BPS was first reported, its diagnosis and treatment have been a challenge to clinicians. This article will review its classification and phenotype, fundamental research, imaging, symptom score, cystoscopy, treatment and potential therapeutic targets.
