N2  - Bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis is a condition with the leading clinical symptoms related to the bladder, such as pain and voiding frequency. The present understanding is that there are a variety of presentations representing different pathological entities, even though sharing similar symptomatology and the same chronic course. Only a subset of patients has bleeding lesions as seen in the cystoscope with bladder distension, previously described as ulcers, and microscopic changes with interstitial inflammation, fibrosis and mastocytosis. These findings are nowadays consistent with classic IC with Hunner’s lesions also designated as type 3C.
