Presentation
Evidence showing progression of ulcerative to nonulcerative disease, or vice versa, is lacking. [20] Clinical presentation is also variable, with nonulcerative patients presenting with a more diffuse pain syndrome and multiple systemic complaints. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prognosis

Etiology The etiology of interstitial cystitis remains unknown and is likely multifactorial. [25, 26, 27] Proposed etiologies include the following: Pathogenic role of mast cells in the detrusor and/or mucosal layers of the bladder Deficiency in the glycosaminoglycan [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology
Epidemiological studies are difficult, given the wide variability in which patients are identified as research subjects. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology The pathophysiology of interstitial cystitis is poorly understood. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
Periodic exacerbations are managed as they occur because no long-term therapy has been shown to prevent or delay recurrent episodes. Therefore, the purpose of treatment is to palliate and alleviate symptoms. [emedicine.medscape.com]
