Well, there's conventional treatment with antibiotics but you cfan sort it without resorting to this.
First DRINK, DRINK, DRINK!! Water, cranberry juice in particular. Secondly you could ring the homeopathic helpline who can tell you the homoeopathic remedies that will quickly help relieve your symptoms. Or, consult a chemist who could give you som Mist Pot Cit which is helpful but nasty to drink.

At the present time there is no cure for interstitial cystitis. Only a certain amount of relief. The symptoms vary, some are discomfort, pressure, tenderness, or intense pain in the bladder and pelvic area, an urgent need to urinate. I am not a Doctor therefore I cannot and will not give to you advice as to what you should or should not do, or I could and probably would be arrested. The food and drug goons frown on that. However, if I had certain things diagnosed that might be wrong with me, I might would ask my Doctor to scrib meds that would kill the bacteria that causes ulcers. For enjoyment, I make a great tea from the juice of the black walnut hull, extra strength.. It is best warm. Your local health food store may have some.

Look for cranberry capsules in the vitamin section of the grocery or drug store. The cranberry helps to keep urine acidic, and actually helps stop bacteria from attaching to the bladder wall. Drinking a lot is good, because it flushes out the bladder, but drinking too much will make a dilute urine that is less effective at killing bacteria. Other than that, talk with your doctor. If there is an underlying cause, it has to be corrected or the problem won't go away. Be sure to follow good hygiene-- keep you short hairs trimmed short, and use moist wipes from front to back (should go without saying, but you'd be surprised). Good Luck!!

Specific treatment for IC will be determined by your physician based on:
your age, overall health, and medical history
extent of the disease
your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
expectations for the course of the disease
your opinion or preference
Currently, there is no specific way to diagnose IC, and no cure for IC, making it difficult to treat. Thus, treatments are primarily focused on relieving symptoms, and may include:
Bladder distension - a procedure aimed at increasing bladder capacity and interfering with pain signals that are being transmitted by the nerve cells in the bladder.
Bladder instillation (also called a bladder wash or bath.) - the bladder is filled with a solution that is held for varying periods of time, from a few seconds to 15 minutes, before being drained through a catheter.
medication
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) - mild, electric pulses enter the body for minutes to hours two or more times a day either through wires placed on the lower back, or through special devices inserted into the vagina in women or into the rectum in men.
Bladder training - patient voids at designated times and uses relaxation techniques and distractions to help keep to the schedule. Gradually, the patient tries to lengthen the time between the scheduled voids.
Surgery
Management of IC may also include:
Diet modification - no scientific evidence links diet to IC, but some physicians and patients believe that alcohol, tomatoes, spices, chocolate, caffeinated and citrus beverages, and high-acid foods may contribute to bladder inflammation. Thus, eliminating these substances from the diet may help to eliminate some symptoms.
Smoking - smoking is a major known cause of bladder cancer.
Exercise - exercise may help relieve symptoms or hasten remission.

Drink plenty of water and cranberry juice. Failing that - antibiotics from the Dr.
