Did you know that some IC patients must choose between purchasing medication or buying food? Our mission is to create new resources for patients who are struggling financially with their urologic disability. Who is the IC or pelvic pain patient in this family? Children with IC may struggle to receive an appropriate diagnosis because some doctors believe that noone under the age of 18 should be diagnosed. Teenagers with bladder symptoms often struggle with schools that don't provide restroom access. College students may be unable to sit through classes and complete long exams. A number have chosen to drop out. For the men and women in their 20's , IC can create obstacles in their careers. Driving and commuting may be difficult if not impossible. It may be difficult to sit comfortably at work. Some newly married patients face obstacles with their relationships and ability to have pain free sexual relations.

INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys, a pair of purplish-brown organs, are located below the ribs toward the middle of the back. The kidneys remove liquid waste from the blood in the form of urine, keep a stable balance of salts and other substances in the blood, and produce erythropoietin, a hormone that aids the formation of red blood cells. Narrow tubes called ureters carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, a triangle-shaped chamber in the lower abdomen. Like a balloon, the bladder's elastic walls relax and expand to store urine and contract and flatten when urine is emptied through the urethra. The typical adult bladder can store about 1 1/2 cups of urine. Adults pass about a quart and a half of urine each day. The amount of urine varies, depending on the fluids and foods a person consumes. The volume formed at night is about half that formed in the daytime. Normal urine is sterile. It contains fluids, salts and waste products, but it is free of bacteria, viruses and fungi. The tissues of the bladder are isolated from urine and toxic substances by a coating that discourages bacteria from attaching and growing on the bladder wall. People with interstitial cystitis (IC) have an inflamed, or irritated, bladder wall. This inflammation can lead to scarring and stiffening of the bladder, decreased bladder capacity, glomerulations (pinpoint bleeding) and, in rare cases, ulcers in the bladder lining.
