Interstitial cystitis means inflammation of bladder wall, and it is chronic disease commonly found in women but this disease affected both sexes. It is mostly found in young people between the ages of 42-48. The cause of IC / BPS is still unknown, but multiple theories exist including Chronic bacterial infection, Bladder inflammation, Neurogenic inflammation, Urothelial dysfunction, Mast cell activation, Genetic prediposition, Autoimmune mechanism, Defective GAG layer, Sensory nervous system, Psychosomatic mechanism, Environmental factors. IC / BPS is divided into Hunner lesion and without Hunner lesion. Patient also complaint of pain throughout the pelvis in the urethra, vulva, vagina, rectum such as lower abdomen and back. Pain usually occurs with specific food or drink and worsen due to bladder filling which improved by voiding. Urinary frequency and urgency are another feature of IC / BPS. Due to insufficiency of IC symptom, underdiagnosed or late diagnosis commonly occur. The health examination involves patient history such as onset, duratyle-related inducing factors, and symptoms, physical examination, urine analysis, questionnaires, and cystoscopy are done to evaluate the disease. Treatment is pharmacological, surgical, or Rehabilitation but in recent time rehabilitation is more effective than pharmacological or surgical treatment.
