¿Por qué afecta tanto a la calidad de vida la cistitis intersticial? | IGB

Interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) is considered one of the chronic diseases with the greatest impact on quality of life. This is not only due to the persistent pain, but also to the combination of constant, unpredictable, and highly limiting symptoms: continuous urgency, frequent urination, sleep disturbances, and restrictions on eating, social life, and personal relationships. Often, sufferers also endure years of misunderstanding and delayed diagnosis. The most difficult aspect of IC/PBS is that it is invisible, there is no single test to confirm it, and it forces people to live with the pain every day. Therefore, its physical and emotional impact can be comparable to—or even greater than—that of other, more well-known chronic diseases. 👉 IC/PBS is not just a bladder problem. It is a complex disease that affects daily life and requires a specialized and empathetic approach.
