Can ic patients regain bladder capacity? or will it diminish more over time?

IC patients: volume?: Interstitial cystitis is a condition which occurs over time, when the constant irritation of the bladder smooth muscle makes the muscle stronger and thus "thicker", which decreases bladder capacity, and increases urinary urgency. Ask for a referral for a urologist who can dilate the urethra, and over time the volume will enlarge, as the irritation dissipates.
