Discussing IC

Interstitial cystitis is difficult to say and IC is not a sexy condition. Family and friends probably haven’t even heard of it. ICA understands. That’s why we advocate to raise awareness and research dollars which are desperately needed to ensure early diagnosis, proper treatment, and ultimately a cure for IC. Please help ICA’s future advocacy efforts on your behalf by taking five minutes to complete this short survey.
