Generate according to: An estimated 400,000 people in the UK suffer from interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome. This September, The Cystitis & Overactive Bladder Foundation unite with interstitial cystitis sufferers in the UK and around the world to encourage them to share their personal stories of living with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome.

Interstitial cystitis is defined as a chronic inflammation of the bladder wall. The inflammation triggers symptoms of urinary frequency, sometimes as often as 60 times a day, urgency and excruciating pain making even simple tasks impossible. At its worst, the disease causes ulceration of the bladder lining and there is at present no known cure.
