Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the bladder that
causes frequent, urgent, and painful
urination with or without pelvic discomfort. To a lesser extent, some experience headaches, dizziness, chest pain, aches in joints, heart pounding, backache, abdominal cramps, nausea, or other pelvic discomfort. Interstitial cystitis manifests differently in patients. Nausea is usually related to the pain experienced in Interstitial cystitis.
