Dear Gaby Interstitial cystitis is really a chronic condition seen as an a variety of uncomfortable bladder pressure, bladder pain and quite often pain inside your pelvis, which could range from mild burning or discomfort to severe pain.

Interstitial cystitis could have a long lasting adverse effect on your wellbeing. The seriousness of symptoms due to interstitial cystitis often fluctuates, and a few people can experience periods of remission. Although there is no one single proven treatment that reliably eliminates interstitial cystitis, a variety of medications and other therapies offer relief. No simple treatment exists to eliminate the twelve signs and signs and symptoms of interstitial cystitis, with no one treatment works for everyone. You might need to try various treatments or combinations of treatments with the advice of your urologist when you find an approach that relieves your symptoms. Oral medications that could help the signs and symptoms of interstitial cystitis include: Ibuprofen, naproxen as well as other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, to alleviate pain. Tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitriptyline or imipramine, to assist relax your bladder and block pain.

It could take two to four months before you begin to feel remedy and as much as half a year to get a decrease in urinary frequency. Unwanted side effects include minor gastrointestinal disturbances and possible thinning hair, which reverses whenever you stop taking the drug. Ensure a medical expert knows should you be pregnant or about to get pregnant prior to taking pentosan, as this medication was not studied in women that are pregnant. You can even require your liver function tested while you're investing in this medication. People with severe pain and people whose bladders can hold only very small volumes of urine are possible candidates for surgery, but even then surgery is usually considered only after other treatments have failed. So please consult a good urologist and plan your treatment accordingly. With regard J S Chowhan |
