PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS, THERE HAS BEEN SKEWED/INCORRECT INFORMATION QUOTED ABOVE
Unfortunately, the studies "linking" IC and sexual abuse and their rates to IC patients are NOT more significant than the NATIONAL AVERAGE of abuse both physical and sexual. Please Please do your homework before you take another patient at their word.
I know we all want to believe everything that we tell each other especially since we're usually invalidated for so long by doctors, friends, family ect.
However I have found NO studies that link IC and abuse to 90%. What I DID find was 90 people in the STUDY (NOT 90%!!!!!!!!!!!) had reported abuse. Again, this still is consistent with the national average.
Do your homework before just assuming!!! PLEASE don't perpetuate incorrect information to other IC patients.. we need to all stick together and have ACCURATE information to fight this disease... if there is too many gross in conceptions it perpetuates confusion and we all DESERVE accurate information.
Here is the link to one study which I believe was SEVERELY misquoted here.
