    Interstitial Cystitis is not chlamydia or a regular bladder infection. It is definitely not a sexually transmitted disease. It is not contagious at all, and is not an infection. It is more like diabetes or asthma. No one knows the cause. It hurts no one but you. There is no cure, but there are several helpful treatments.

    Look for the Interstitial Cystitis Association support foundation for good info/links, and check out Yahoo and MSN-type groups.

    Finally, don't buy "all natural", "secret", or other do-it-yourself crap on the web. Some self-help stuff is really important and useful--but it won't be found under a "sponsored link". Check those other sites and a good urologist instead.

    You need to talk to your doctor. It is not an STD. It is an illness just as real as diabetes. Just b/c it involves sexual organs, doesn't mean it is an STD. They do not no what causes it. I've had symptoms that weren't too bad since 4 years of age. A few years ago though, they got worse. You may want to back off on the sex however or be clean about it b/c bladder infections can be caused from sex, and uti's with IC is extremely painful, unbearable.
