A member asked:
If you have interstitial cystitis can it cause you to have infections?

IC causing UTI: Usually no; although the symptoms of an acute "flare" of ic can mimic those of a uti, and some of the treatments for utis (eg nitrofurantoin/macrobid/......) have been implicated in causing/aggrevating ic in pts with known disease.

Maybe: But mostly it will cause you to feel like you have a bladder infection. Blood and urine from interstitial cystitis may cause your doctor to suspect that you have a UTI when in fact it is simply the interstitial cystitis.
