Cancer
There is no evidence that IC increases the risk of bladder cancer.
Pregnancy
Researchers have little information on pregnancy and IC but believe that
the disorder does not affect fertility or the health of the fetus. Some
women find that their IC goes into remission during pregnancy, while others
experience a worsening of their symptoms.
Coping
The emotional support of family, friends, and other people with IC is
very important in helping patients cope. Studies have found that patients
who learn about the disorder and become involved in their own care do
better than patients who do not.
