What are the causes of Interstitial Cystitis?

It’s not clear why it happens, but there are several ideas:

  • A problem with bladder tissue lets things in your pee irritate your bladder.
  • Inflammation causes your body to release chemicals that cause symptoms.
  • Something in your urine damages your bladder.
  • A nerve problem makes your bladder feel pain from things that usually don’t hurt.
  • Your immune system attacks the bladder.
  • Another condition that causes inflammation is also targeting the bladder
