This is a prospective pilot study, with a recruitment goal of 60 patients. Patients who are female, above the age of 18, and with a diagnosis of IC/BPS based on clinical criteria and O'Leary Sant ICPI and ICSI scores undergoing cystoscopy, hydrodistention and bladder biopsy will be included. The bladder biopsies will be evaluated for TLR4 expression, and sent for histological assessment of mast cell count.
