Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS), also known as Interstitial Cystitis, is a chronic condition characterized by discomfort or pain in the bladder and pelvic region. Symptoms may include frequent urination, urgency to urinate, and pain during or after urination. The exact cause of BPS is not well understood, and it can vary in severity among individuals. Diagnosis typically involves ruling out other conditions that may cause similar symptoms, such as urinary tract infections or bladder infections. Treatment options may include lifestyle changes, physical therapy, medications, and in some cases, procedures to relieve symptoms.
