Management strategies for painful bladder syndrome.

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: Painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis (PBS/IC) is a condition of chronic pelvic pain associated with irritative voiding symptoms. Management of PBS/IC has been a challenge for generations of physicians, owing to a lack of consensus on its definition, an incompletely understood pathophysiology, and numerous available therapies without high-quality evidence to guide their usage. This article reviews the most current conception of PBS/IC and data on effective treatments to recommend a management strategy.
