Demographic characteristics, medical history, clinical conditions, and laboratory and cystoscopic data of patients who applied to our clinic between January 2018 and December 2021 and were diagnosed with IC/BPS were retrospectively analyzed. Adult male and female patients with IC/BPS who received 300 mg/day PPS at least six months ago with complaints of pain, urge, frequency, and nocturia not associated with urinary tract infection were included in the study. In addition, pre- and post-treatment symptoms, ICSI scores, quality of life (scored between 1-4), and satisfaction were compared.
