Interstitial cystitis is a syndrome characterized by pelvic pain, urinary urgency/frequency, nocturia, and dyspareunia, with no other identifiable etiology. The clinical presentation of interstitial cystitis is similar to that of many other conditions commonly seen in female patients, including recurrent urinary tract infections, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, vulvodynia, and overactive bladder. In addition, interstitial cystitis may exist concurrently with these conditions. Correct diagnosis is necessary for appropriate treatment and improved outcomes. Tools to assist in the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis, as well as effective therapies for this condition, are available. A diagnosis of interstitial cystitis should be considered in patients with irritative voiding symptoms and/or pelvic pain complaints.
间质性膀胱炎是一种以盆腔疼痛、尿急/尿频、夜尿症和性交困难为特征的综合征，且无其他可识别的病因。间质性膀胱炎的临床表现与女性患者常见的许多其他病症相似，包括复发性尿路感染、子宫内膜异位症、慢性盆腔疼痛、外阴痛和膀胱过度活动症。此外，间质性膀胱炎可能与这些病症同时存在。正确诊断对于适当治疗和改善预后至关重要。有辅助诊断间质性膀胱炎的工具以及针对该病症的有效疗法。对于有刺激性排尿症状和/或盆腔疼痛主诉的患者，应考虑间质性膀胱炎的诊断。
