Abstract
Treatment of this entity is empirical and symptomatic, and includes physical treatments (bladder distension, electrical stimulation), intravesical drugs (mainly dimethyl sulfoxide), diverse systemic drugs (tricyclic antidepressants, antihistamines, pentosan polysulfate, analgesics, corticosteroids) and, in some cases, surgical techniques. Gynecologists should be alert to interstitial cystitis as one of the possible causes of chronic pelvic pain in women.
