Question 3150 — health

Summary

Interstitial cystitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the bladder characterized by a cystitis syndrome (pain during bladder repletion, urinary frequency and urgency) without associated infection. The clinical manifestations are of variable intensity over time and in the characteristics of the pain. However, it can be the cause of a deterioration in the quality of life. The etiology of this pathology is not known. The diagnosis of interstitial cystitis is a difficult diagnosis to exclude other pathologies. The management of interstitial cystitis must be multi-professional and the general practitioner can rely on chronic pain centers (CDC) to organize this treatment. These centers are listed nationally on an interactive map accessible on the website of the Ministry of Solidarity and Health: http://solidarites-sante.gouv.fr/soins-et-entreprises/prises-en-charge-specialisees/douleur/les-structures-specialisees-douleur-chronique/article/les-structures-specialisees-douleur-chronique-sdc Furthermore, the law to modernize our health system of January 26, 2016 strengthens the missions of primary care general practitioners to ensure the link with these specialized structures in the care burden of any complex pain or chronic. Recommendations relating to the standard process for treating patients suffering from chronic pain are being developed by the High Health Authority for optimal collaboration between the city and referral structures. These recommendations for good practice will make it possible to structure the health pathway of people suffering from chronic and complex pain such as interstitial cystitis in order to better coordinate care and better guide patients.
