Suggest Treatment For Interstitial Cystitis
Hi was told I had IC (interstistial cystitis) and fibromyalgia. I also have osteo arthritis. I am only 42 and have ate well and exercised my whole life. Noe exercise is so limited due to fibro pain. I am now seeing a new urologist who said the bladder problems lie more in not being able to void fully. I don t know I am just so tormented and completely exhausted. Wondering if it could be more of a kidney issue? I feel and feverish many days. Sometimes my body gets hot.... Mainly my legs and people can fell how they burn to touch them. Had to stop working etc. but hoping I ll have my life back at some point. Feels like I carry a thousand pound weight around with me every where I go. Just plugging through.

Hello
If your urologist saysinterstitial cystitis, then cause may be looked for-many a times its the medicines which may be causing this, or infection itself may cause this, for latter- a urine examiation and culture should be done for tracing any infection, also temporaririly stopping all medications you are taking for few days.A surgeon must examine for any prostatic problem as you cant evacuate fully, incomplete voiding may be due to beningn enlargement of prostate and should rule out.Your urologist may have to give a thorough work up to find cause for staring definitive treatment. You may avoid, spices, excess beverages and take plenty of plain water, also avoid sugary drinks for few days- avoid red meat also.Urispas tab is given for burning in urine ,if present -so seek urologists help
thanks
