Suggest Treatment To Clear Up Interstitial Cystitis
IC flare
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The medication you listed including Amitriptyline, Pyridium and local heat are usually used to treat such a flare. However, it is a complex condition and one modality may not work for every single patient. The primary concern would be to rule out an infectious cause as it can occur without associated fever. Urinalysis should be done to look for evidence.
If there is no infectious cause then 2 teaspoon of soda bicarbonate in 250 ml of water can be taken to reverse the flare. Allovera juice with mint leaves has also shown improvement in many cases. Pregabalin and Lorazepam can be advised additionally to suppress the urgency and pain associated with IC.
Please consult your doctor before deciding on any further course of action. Wishing you the best of health. Let me know if you have any query.
Thank you.
