The expansion of Interstitial Cystitis (IC) to include Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS) started in 2002 by the International Continence Society and was further expanded in 2008 to focus on the inclusion of chronic pelvic pain, pressure, and discomfort perceived to be related to the bladder. These symptoms must occur for more than 6 weeks in the absence of infection or other identifiable cause . There has been further distinction between patients who have erosive bladder lesions (Hunner lesions) and those who do not. The Floora allows women suffering from HTPFD and IC/BPS to manage their physical therapy treatment privately and comfortably in their own space, fostering a sense of control to take an active role in their healing. This self-controlled option can reduce anxiety, improve mental well-being, and increasing adherence to dilator therapy, ultimately leading to better outcomes in managing pain, thus improving quality of life for these patients.
