title: Advances in diagnosis and treatment of interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome.
abstract: Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a prevalent chronic condition that can be challenging not only to diagnose but also to treat. We review recent diagnostic markers and therapies for IC/BPS from non-medication-based therapies, oral therapies, intravesical therapies, and surgical treatments.
