I’m so exhausted from suffering with IC. I’ve been prescribed antibiotics for years to no avail.only Later on they realized I didn’t have any bacteria or infection. And it’s caused by stress or exposure to cold. Writing this in a severe flare up , all by myself in a foreign country surrounded by strangers 😭. Drinking lots of water and camomile tea. I need to find out where I can buy some herbs here that could ease my pain 😭😭😭. It’s so hard that not many people understand What we are going through 🥺. Sending my love and light to all those who are being tortured by this terrible chronic disease.
I feel your pain!! I spent years going thru the same until I finally got a urologist that even came to the possibility of it being ic. People don't understand how inconvenient ans bothersome the pain is, and how annoying it is that little triggers make it worse !
Please treat me kya liye

hi on this post one woman said to take d manosse,i bought them but it had other ingredients too but it,s ok and i can say it helped with the pain
@@yadiram2036 docs use dmso to cure it
Probably the most genuine thing I’ve ever heard from a doctor with a RUclips pretense . Makes me have at least a tiny bit of hope
I was diagnosed with IC in 2002. I suffer everyday from this condition which is chronic for me. I've tried several different medication and had bladder distention several times also. I would get temporary relief for a very brief period every time. Some days it's so bad i feel like I can't deal with this pain anymore and I'm not suicidal when I say that honestly it's just taken over my life for so many years now and nobody really understands this condition not even most doctors and urologists I've seen. I just watched this doctors video and I'm very intrigued by her and her knowledge of IC and that she actually cares and wants to help those who suffer from it get better and finally get some relief. I'm about to visit her website and pray that she might can help me.
What symptoms do you have
I've had symptoms that are similar since April of this year, and I still haven't gotten relief. I saw a urologist and had some tests done. He gave me a medication called Myrbetriq to take and I thought it was helping some but now the symptoms are back. My discomfort seems to be concentrated in the urethra rather than the bladder. I get really down and have thoughts that if I can't get help with this, I can't see living like this and could see myself taking my own life, although I want to live and enjoy life. I'm going to call the urologist again and see if he has any other ideas. This is awful.
Please app ka contact number dedo mujhe bahut pain horahe
@@brendabrock7220 I have the same painful urethra it is awful but I also have been diagnosed with Tarlov Cysts that can mimick IC and UTI's - they are cysts that sit on your spinal cord and press on the nerves that control the rectum/bladdder/urethra etc. Get a MRI of your sacrum and see.
Same here, Allison. Stress mmanagement, meditation, pelvic floor exercises like pilates, desert harvest aloe, and antihistamines help me (like zyrtec…however, one doctor prescribed Atarax for awhile and I never felt so much relief).
I've had IC for over 12yrs. Whatever you do... don't take Elmiron!! It has caused me some eye damage.
That is what the doctor has me on.. it worries me..
Elmiron is evil, made my hair fall out in clumps and didn't do anything. Cystoprotek Algonot helped me immensely with the help of peridium
I feel like committing suicide sometimes becoz of this..!!
@@Trishs_GLAM_Techniques Get off of it. Have your doctor give you PRO Colostrum-LD Liposomal delivery... it helps with many issues from inflammation to repairs stomach and gi tissue. Promotes beneficial bacteria, skin repair and regrowth. Eat an anti inflammatory diet. Try that first.
@@tejaswininayak6306 That's terrible! Please don't do that. Ask your doctor and try some PRO Colostrum-LD Liposomal delivery
It helps repair stomach and GI tissue, beneficial bacteria growth, regulates inflammatory and immune response, skin and hair regrowth. Try this along with an anti inflammatory diet.
It completely ruins your life.
My doctor helped me a lot. First he tried to find the issue. Why i have this problem?. Second he did PLATELET-RICH plasma cell therapy ando botox. He also removed some polyps and mucus from my uretha. Medicine, therapy, and diet for a couple months. I am back to normal now. No back pain, no pelvic pain, no burning urine, i can drink or eat everything now
Do you mind sharing who your doctor was?
Will you share your doctor. I am desperate.
Hi. Do you mind sharing your doctor info. I’m willing to travel out of state
Also curious who you Dr is!
Why would you not share your doctor? Wtf
I have suffered with this for 34 years. I have been on every medication as well as having my bladder stretched which I do not recommended.( Painful & did nothing to help)! This is a life long illness. Find a way to treat your pain & try to live a normal life as best you can. I' have been severe, meaning every 5 to 20 minutes.. sometimes there's no point to leave the bathroom. It's extremely depressing & this issue has robbed me of enjoying life.
I did a diet of no refined foods. Zero preceded foods. It worked. I feel off diet and symptoms creeping back. ¿What caused your IC?
@soyyo9704 I myself have been a on keto since 2019.. I lost 120 lbs. ( all my weight) in that first year. Not to mention, I wasn't overweight as a 12 year old when this first began for me. Diet has shown no improvement for me other then looking better. I have no idea why I have this, but I remember the exact date that they began. I wish I knew.. honestly I think I probably have a combination of issues. I know I have a small bladder 1/3 the size of a normal bladder.. and a extremely overactive bladder. Only now that I'm older (46) did I start having different associated pains that I described as electrical shocks.. I am still seeing urologist & now getting a referral to do some kind of treatment with a specialist for people with sexual trauma , even though I haven't had sexual trauma. I will comment on here after I see what that entales of & what effect it had as far as improvement. I'm willing to try whatever method this is. I have nothing to loose in trying.
Feel your pain. Bless you.
@@juliehake2635 Thank you 💛
I am a patient at Dr. Christi’s office and have had IC for 11+ years. I started seeing Dr. Christi and PA Shannon Bernbaum a year and a half ago and I’ve been doing much better since. They are so knowledgeable about this condition and presented many options for treatment, including new therapies. It’s the first time I’ve seen improvement and felt hopeful in years.
What are the alternative treatments!!! I've been dealing with for over a year now and I can't eat anything with out extreme pain
@@ianpobanz12 Do you live anywhere near Katy, TX where Dr. Christi’s office? IC is an area she specializes in. I’ve never seen a better doctor (the office’s PA Shannon Bernbaum is also amazing). Her knowledge, available options, and emotional support is far better than the three other doctors I’ve seen for IC. I was one of only a few IC patients the other Urologists had and I felt like I was annoying them.
I have not done PRP nor hydrdistension yet because my insurance won’t cover PRP. I am planning to save for it and see what insurance says in a year from now. I have also done physical therapy recommended by Dr. Christi’s office and it is very helpful.
@@ianpobanz12 if I were you I’d try elimination diet very strict eat only food youre 100% sure is safe for a week. Cut out anything citrus, acidic, high histamine, artificial etc.

yeah it's consuming and depressing , what are your symptoms
My relationship was at risk because I had Cystitis/PCOS, facial hair growth felt lot of pains I didn't give up thank God I found a cure through Alternative herbal treatment and body cleanser from Dr Isibor on youtube in less than 2 weeks I'm free now totally Cured
İm at 23 years old and me too
I’m 28yrs old and I’ve been suffering with this since I was 18. After so many tests and cystoscopies, the specialists have no treatment recommendations for me. It always gets very bad before my period and sex is almost impossible. The only things that I have found that help for me is taking cranberry/D-Mannose capsules, probiotics daily, slippery elm capsules, not drinking any alcohol, limiting caffeine, being extremely careful to NEVER be dehydrated at any point (always drinking water)
How are u now
I take D-mannose daily for my IC.. It has helped me immensely. I very rarely get flare ups, pain or infections now.
Thanks I was wondering if it worked
I'll check into this, thank you.
@Jennifer B Hi. I buy capsules, I take one capsule daily. But prior to that I had the loose powder, I used the scoop provided. Also I have recently learnt that slippery Elm is good to heal the bladder... Good luck ☺️
@@sam_sam13 heal means cure? Is ic curable
Hi, I just bought this. I have had IC for years. It's a severe case. I self cath myself for years, Hunners Ulcers, 35% of my bladder removed, bladder spasms, very itchy urethra, 27 surgeries, immune to antibiotics, chronic bladder and kidney infections. My dad has flown me out years ago to the Mayo Clinic to see their top urologist. Also had botox and collagen in my bladder. Didn't work long. I am in pain mgmt. I got Hep C from a blood transfusion in the 80s. I have a bleeding disorder called Von Willerbrand. I didn't know I had it until surgery complications. I took Interferon for the Hep C but it made me very sick. The new Hep C medication worked but my liver has cirrhosis with lesions. I have to ask my liver doctor if I can take this. I am happy it's working for you. I hope I will be able to try it. Sending 🤗 to the IC people here. Sorry this is long.
Glad to see other people in the comment section at least I know am not alone and I just barely been diagnosed with it.
I will fight back every fuckin day if I have to.

Try weed. It’s been the only thing that has relieved of my pain, but make sure it’s indica not sitiva or hybrid
@@damariszuniga8618 thanks your the second person that told me the exact thing.
I am in pain mgmt. I have had IC for years. I self cath myself. My bladder wouldn't empty..Have the ulcers to they have been removed but keep coming back. The spasms are the worst. Had 35 % of my bladder removed. . My urethra is so itchy it drives me crazy I use lidocaine but it's back ordered. . There is a medicine called Gelnique. It's a gel you rub on your stomach. It goes into the bladder to soothe it and it did help me. My insurance cut me off because of how much it cost. .It's a thousand dollars for 30 gel packs. There the size of a glasses cleaner wipe. I get chronic bladder and kidney infections. I am tired of all of this. . I understand the depression. It's hard to try and live a normal life when you have pain. 1 am sorry you have to go through this. . . Sending 🤗.
Hi Bella, I was reading comments hoping I might find something useful, and came across your post. I’m so sorry your IC is so severe. Mine isn’t quite as bad (yet?), but I’ve tried everything under the Sun with little change. I am glad some IC sufferers find relief with one-off solutions, but know these cases are usually milder.
I'm starting a low oxalate diet and feel tremendous relief already. The ic diet and Desert Harvest Aloe healed my hunners ulcers.I found PTENS, exercises and instillations to be useless.
How much Desert Aloe do you take? Two a day doesnt seem to help me much.
I agree the 2 things you said we're useless were the same for me. I have a severe case of Interstitial Cystitis. I have to self cath myself., Hunners Ulcers many times. They keep coming back. I have had 35% of my bladder removed, bladder spasms, itchy urethra, many hospital stays for IV meds. Regular antibiotics I have built an immune to. I take injection of Gentamicin when needed. I do it myself.. I am in pain mgmt and on disability. I have chronic bladder and kidney infections. My dad has sent me to some of the best hospitals to see different urologist. I got the same answer. I am going to try that aloe. Glad it has helped you. Good luck with the diet.
Hello. You mentioned natural supplements. It would be great if you could tell me (and your other viewers) what those supplements are. I have watched a lot of videos and am really frustrated by the "teasing" that goes on. I have been suffering for over 1.5 years now (though I have had a pre-existing condition of very frequent urination for several decades). My first urologist (back in April 2020) never listened to my specific complaints and treated me like dirt. It took me more than seven months to find out about -- through my own research -- pelvic floor medicine and therapists and pain meds such as lyrica and amitriptyline. Had a cystoscopy which didn't show anything. Also had trigger point injections. Minimally helpful at the time but not too long lasting. Most everything has not been covered by health insurance. It would be quicker and cheaper just to not wake up. I don't live anywhere near Texas. If you can help by naming specific supplements, please do. Otherwise, please, reconsider making videos teasing people with information that may prove very helpful and then not telling them.
Please don't give up. I'm a retired nurse and no doctor helped me. I stopped all wheat, soy & milk. Desert Harvest Aloe Vera helped as well as low oxalate diet. Research the ic diet and that will help you the most.
how are you doing now? Reading the comments will help you-- at least the content creator brought people together to discuss. Thank God for that because the doctor's don't always have time. Everyone in this world is out for themselves basically so make things work for you as much as you can. So many suggestions in the comments that sound helpful. Research for yourself, removing trigger foods and herbal and natural supplements.
@@robin472 -- Thanks for asking. As recommended above, I ordered the Desert Harvest Aloe Vera capsules. I've been on them for more than 2 months. I can't say that they've helped. I have my ups and downs (my up-days are not symptom free, just better than my bad days) and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. I am taking Pumpkin Seed Oil which I had come across somewhere in my online searches and today I bought Saw Palmetto capsules which are allegedly helpful for bladder and prostate issues (I am not aware that I have a prostate issue). I stopped going for physical therapy at the end of December because after one year I couldn't tell that it was making any difference. Also at the end of December I had an InterStim implant. This is described as a pacemaker for the bladder. I can't say for sure that it is helping or not because, like I described above, I'm riding a wave with its ups and downs. I notice that walking on the treadmill makes it worse (not that it is great otherwise). I am still on Lyrica and Amitriptyline but have been cutting back on the Lyrica to see what happens. No need to take a drug if it isn't helping or to take more than I need if it is. At first I thought that I was doing worse because I cut back but the last couple of days were a little better. So like I said, I have my ups and downs and I am not clear what part the Lyrica is playing, if anything. It was recommended to me to see a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist but I have not been able to find someone to work with. Nothing is easy. As for my diet, I am a vegetarian and do eat some soy products. I also eat wheat. However, because my son is gluten free I followed that diet for a long time and never noticed any difference. So I don't think the fact that I'm eating wheat again means anything. I do avoid bladder irritants where possible, such as no lemon juice on my salads and no sauce on my pizza. If you have any supplemental recommendations or anything else to offer that may be of help, please let me know. Thanks again. By the way, my doctor described my condition as Urinary Urgency/Frequency and also said he thinks it is neuromuscular because I also had a bad pain/ache (which the Amitriptyline and maybe the Lyrica has helped).
Algonot cystoprotek, and peridium
I take 1,000 mg magnesium glycinate, 10,000 mg aloe vera gel caps, 1,350 mg apple cider vinegar gel caps, 1,500 mg D-Mannose, & Prelief as needed.
I also take vitamin D3 15,000 IU for my health in general.
Several years ago I had a cystoscopy and was diagnosed with severe interstitial cystitis. I don't like taking prescription drugs due to side effects.
I try to follow the recommended diet, but it is very restrictive and quite frankly boring.
I hope you will try the supplements that I have listed.
I still have urgency, frequency, and a bit of pressure and discomfort especially when first sitting down, but I think I'm doing better than I did taking any prescription drugs and better than getting bladder installations.
I do not exercise at all. I have tried different forms of exercise, but unfortunately it causes me to have severe flare-ups that last for 3 days.
I'm literally sitting in the shower letting the scalding hot water run over my pelvis because the pain is so bad. I was diagnosed a year ago and haven't had relief for more than a day or two since. This condition and the unpredictable pain has ruined my life.
To the women posting who have IC type pain but no answers or results from interventions: My ‘IC’ pain was not IC after all. It was IBD (UC rectal inflammation) and Endo. It can help to get a colonoscopy from a GI and see a minimally invasive GYN (Endo specialist) to explore other possible pain generators.

my gastro said bowel would not cause this pain...interesting
My pain is only relieved for a few seconds upon urination. Which is more than 30xs a day. I get weekly bladder installations at my Urogynecologist office. They have brought the pain level from a 9 to a 5 or 6. Only if I go weekly. If I try to wait 2 weeks its unbearable again
Yes,I also ONLY feel relief like 10 minutes after urination .It's hell,did you have to get cystoscopy to get diagnosed ???
@@Србомбоница86 Try Citrosoda it alkalizes the urine ...helped me ...good luck

@@echase416 I am 20 :(
What have you done to relieve this? I’ve had it for a year with minimal progress to relieve it
@@madelinegarcia4059 personally I have struggled with this for 10 years (i am 28 now) and the only thing I have found that helps me is taking D-Mannose and drinking lots of water. No alcohol, no caffeine, no soda, cut back on sugar and processed food. Take probiotics every day. Good luck. It’s a horrible condition.
If your “First Line” doesn’t include problem food elimination, you’re nothing more than a quack profiting from your patients’ pain. All citrus, all alcohol, sodas, chocolate, all coffee, all tea, tomatoes and tomato products, Thai food, Mexican food, most spices, anything containing vinegar, mayonnaise, cereals with Vitamin B6, and more problem foods MUST be stopped before any other treatments are started. Often, eliminating these foods is all that is needed to stop the pain.
That is very first thing we tell patients and give them a handout
Very true indeed
I also feel relief once I urinate ,but I go every 20 minutes ,feel so much pressure in my bladder the moment a little bit of urine is in it
You are so lucky, I go every 2 minutes
@@SUPER_JAVI it calmed down for me a bit after going on a low histamine diet and avoid chocolate ,coffee ,tea, lemons ,drinking only plane water ,I also take d mannose with some probiotics (S boulardi),also make sure to stay warm down there ,never allow to get cold on that area not your feet to be cold
@@Србомбоница86 interesting. My feet are always cold, what do you do about that?

I am pregnant and have IC...only God is pushing me through otherwise I feel like giving up sometimes, I use to take Prednisolone, Amputyinine and oxybutynine..it really relieved me but now that I'm pregnant o can't take any meds. The hustle it real
I'm suffering at least 4 days a week with the pain, cramping, throbbing, frequency, inability to urinate. I'm on daily meds that has lessened my symptoms. I've currently been awake for 72 hours because I'm making trips to the bathroom every 15min-30min. I'm on a long term antibiotic. If I forget a dose the burning and smell make me physically ill. There's got to be a better way to treat this disorder. I can't imagine living like this for the rest of my life. I barely leave my home. I pick up my meds and do all my household shopping once a month. I can see how people with this condition choose death instead of this constant torture. I'm praying for a cure or at least a med that can treat my symptoms.
I got this wretched thing 5 yrs ago after I got a severe UTi. I noticed it I got it every single time I ate or drank sour stuff.. like lemon juice, tamarind sauce, any sauces that contained vinegar, sodas etc. I love sour food, but I don’t have it anymore. Also, I wear only cotton underwear and that also helps. I m managing my condition well and don’t have any pain or burning if I stick to my diet and avoid all the triggers. I would be glad if anyone finds any relief with my advice.
Thanks for sharing. Glad you are better
Tbh Ic is a living nightmare. It severely limits and affects your quality of life. If I decide I want to go somewhere where I want be near a rest room I'm in trouble. I'm fairly young and I love amusement parks but the lines are lonnnng not to mention being locked in somewhere, when the urgency arises (which is inevitable) I'm in trouble! Long road trips where I'm not driving challenging. Concerts nope, helicopter flight, air balloon ride nope, I used to love flying and sitting by the window, now I'm just ready for it to end asap so there's less chance of having to step past anyone or being embarrassed bc I keep having to go to the rest room. So Basically I can't really enjoy much unless there's a toilet near, very depressing way to live. I drive semi trucks and the training was grueling!!! But ONLY bc of dealing with my bladder, luckily my trainers were patient and understanding 🙏🙏
But just imagine driving a 80k lb semi and having to keep stopping to pee not practical or easy or even always possible, sometimes I have to hold it and it HURTS like Hell, I'm almost screaming in tears. The crazy thing is if I don't drink much I miggghht be ok, but my bladder doesn't like it bc my experience the more concentrated the urine is in the bladder (less diluted) I get that uncomfortable burning sensation BUT when I drink lots of water, it's like my bladder rejects it bc within 5 minutes or so I have to pee and i won't stop until my bladder has dispelled all the water, there's no winning here. One thing I've put together is that stress and anxiety amplifies the frequency especially the urgency so bright side trucking isa lot easier... Since I'm well experienced and not fearful of driving anymore I'm less anxious mostly only anxious when I'm rushing with a load lol 😂 I wish there was a cure. I should try prayer and meditation 🧘🏾♀️

I’m so sorry you are going through all of this. I Just started having symptoms and a life saver for me are adult diapers. I literally could not leave my house without them. They are thin and no one really knows if I wear them.
How do the adult diapers help you out with IC if you don't mind me asking?
@@Vee_kayy
What if I developed this condition as a side effect of taking antibiotics / penicillin for a urinary tract infection ? Sometimes I can’t go at all and have to take azo.
I was diagnosed with IC, and the thing that helped me was eliminating OXALATES from my diet.
Does it pain? And how many times do you urinate?
@@shikhasoni5518 yes, can be a bit of a stabbing pain, but (for me) it is the “urgency”… and almost like a paralysis that you cant hold your bladder.
With diet, I have been able to heal.
I have been taking Elmiron since 2/2000. I spent 7 years in excruciating pain until I was diagnosed with IC. Within 2 weeks of taking it, I was pain free. I have tried hydroxyzine but it caused me to retain my urine. I also use the supplement Bladder Rest. I have been fortunate because Elmiron has not effected my eyes. I cannot be without it.
That’s wonderful!
How about viginal Estrogen
What's this??
I have pain AFTER I void. But an emergency doctor who was a urologist/gynecologist suggested I take PRELIEF tablets (2 before each meal) and they take the acidity out of food that seems to cause me pain. The Prelief tablets contain calcium glycerosophate . They have been the only thing that has helped me.
I recommend that for my IC patients. Prelief is great. and that ER doc is the Bomb! Fantastic
Does IC cause bloating and constipation? Or could it be the constipation causing pressure on bladder? But 4 years... is it even possible
Could be. IC can cause bloating as well
I have an appointment with my urologist on Jan 15. From your wonderful video I learned a few ways that I might get relief from my interstitial cystitis. Thank you so much. CBP - Vernal, Utah
Make sure they do a full blown cystoscope while you are under so they can properly diagnose you. That numbing medicine they recommend never did much for my pain relief. The bladder distention didn't do much to help me at all.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I will ask my MD.
A cystoscopy messed me up. I would avoid if possible!
@@melinda7425 same here! I regret so much I had this stupid procedure done and it was unnecessary. My life is over. How to make the pain away??? Have you ever tried desert harvest aloe Vera supplement? I heard it helps to relieve the pain.
@@alicechan4438 You had a cystoscopy too? Did it cause you bladder pain and frequent urination too?? Mine was totally unnecessary. I should have went with my gut, and not done it. It has ruined me, and all I can think about is peeing! I have heard of the Desert Harvest Aloe capsules I actually have them on my Amazon list. I also want to try pumpkin seed oil pills. I've read a lot of good reviews for those too.
It's Mycoplasma/Ureaplasma STI what docs should test for but they are not since many don't even hear about it, so they label this IC.
Can be. That is something that we test for. I'll do a video about ureaplasma soon.
I was diagnosed with IC and the doctor wanted me on Elmiron medication which can or can’t work and the side effects are extreme but I didn’t take any of it. He said get a second opinion I’ve been trying to for many months now and I have chronic UTIs no help.😭😭😭
Elmiron isn’t great. I hope you find help

I’m so sorry. Ask for pyridium or uribel for relief
We’re are you located??
I have been going through this pain n discomfort for almost 30 years and I can’t take it anymore.
The urologist n OBGYN I trusted and understood the pain I was going through both passed away n I real need help.
I looked at her Appointment video. Sounds like located in Houston.
I learned i have a inflammation of the bladder after i got a severe pain and had a lot of blood and bacteria suddenly. I had a scar on the wall if the bladder so i think i have had a infection in the bladder wall that erupted and gave me that severe pains.
Under medical care and are going to check the bladder again soon. Started anti inflammatory diet as i was not allowed medication for inflammation because of my gastric bypass (got that because doctors told me that was the answer because i was fat, now I learned i have lipedema).
May God bless you
Now i was suffering bladder puffiness i was really afraid there is no other pain only discomfort feels like something trouble me what does it mean anyone help me
I dodnt have blood in urine just puffiness and hard in my bladder part plesase help me 😢😢
Please see a urologist 🩷
My doctor thinks I have IC because sometimes my bladder hurts a lot. He wanted me to do a cystoscopy, but I don't think that's really necessary. The way I see it is if I don't have a UTI or cancer I'm alright. For the pain I usually take Tylenol.
Cystoscopy with distensión helped me a lot
I just started taking Corn Husk Tea - there is a lot of info on the internet about it because my doctor said there was nothing I could do. Also, Prelief is good but I cannot take it - I get bad headaches
A drink and maybe stretching and strengthening would be the fix , I think. But first would be knowing WHAT CAUSED IT. To understand what to do to reverse it. I heard nothing about what caused it. Dr?
No one knows what causes it.
When I empty my bladder completely there is a really sharp pain and it is so painful it caused tears and I have no idea what is wrong with me.
UTI pain relief pills do not work either
Omg same with me
Go to a urogynecologist! Ask your OBGYN if there’s one near you. Start watching Dr. Bri’s physical therapy tip videos on RUclips as well

I’ve been in an out of the er because of this I just got diagnosed I’m only 17 and I still haven’t found a way to have relive in like 2 months it’s horrible dose anyone have any advice or know what kinds of herbs or supplements I can take
For pain:
The azo pain relief pills help me when it is so bad, you shouldn’t take those too often though. Tylenol extra strength helps a lot.
Vitamins: d manoose, probiotics, desert aloe
I had this years ago and now it returned. It is awful.
Ever since my hydrodistension my pain has been sooo much worse.
Hydrodistention is not an answer. IC is an incurable disease. It's so frustrating that doctors use this as any kind of remedy. It's EXTREMELY painful and made things much worse for me for MONTHS.
@@hopefilledliving thats why i never had it done, it doesn't work and it hurts.
@@margaretmanzer2194 oh my goodness! I have had so many experiences with ic! Like i was an experiment. Have you jad it long, Margaret?
@@maryclewley1420 yes, many years

Here are a few things that have worked for me. Aloe Vera gel 5000 mg first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. If you can keep your bowels empty and dont get constipated, the pressure seems to agitate my bladder. Now, you can take Ibuprofen up to 1000mg twice a day 8 hours apart with food, I use Motrin. If you have stomach issues you may not be able to tolerate such a high dose. As an RN in Labor and Delivery for many years the theraputic dose after delivery was 600mg, in other cases for pain management I have seen doc's reccommend the higer dose instead of narcotics. Also if you have bleeding conditions then you also must be very careful with Ibuprofen. I'm going to assume many doc's will say it's too high of a dose but it has helped me. Also, you can use Acetaminophen 2 extra strength, 1000mg every 4-6 hours along with the use of Ibuprofen. Push water as much as you can. I'm going to get alkaline water and see. Heating pad, hot baths, practice calmness and pray to God for help. I am not a doctor! This is what has worked for me. I am just suggesting what worked for me- disclaimer. All that Emma said was also excellent suggestions. I personally do not want any invasive treatment at this time, that must be your own choice with the advice of your doctor. Make sure you find a doc who is in the know about IC, thats so important. I am 66 and not sexually active at this time thankfully. I know how hard it is to be younger and have to deal with this issue, it can be very tough on a relationship or marriage. No one knows how painful this condition is unless you have it. So hopefully your partner is compassionate. After I went through menopause my uterus was much smaller and I never had any issues with IC until now as I am tapering off of long term use of benzodiazepines. Now the IC is flaring and so is a condition that is called Burning Mouth Syndrome , it is as miserable as IC. I would never reccomend anyone to use benzo's bc they are a nightmare of their own and you don't want to get hooked on them. I recall as a young girl being brought to a nutcase urologist who proceeded to dialate my ureters with long metal rods, it was torture, not to mention he made my Mom leave the room??? This leads me to belive I must have been complainging to my Mom about urination discomfort, I just dont recall. When in a flair up I would suggest to stay on the meds I mentioned around the clock, get ahead of the pain. Much love to all men and women who are trying to live with this disorder.🌻❤

Hello this video has been so helpful. I recently had what they thought was a UTI I had antibiotics for 10 days and I’m still suffering 3 weeks on . I have the feeling of needing to wee so frequently it’s really getting me down I feel like I can’t even go on a walk . There’s sometimes infection in my urine and then none the next day so I’m thinking I could possibly have IC . Could this have started from an infection? Xx
Do you have IC? Does it pain?
My IC started with an infection brought on by dehydration
We don’t know what causes IC
My daughter, age 12, has just had a cystoscopy. Doctor said she has a 10% chance of having ic. She advised that if she has no pain after the cystoscopy it’s cause for worry. My daughter just had this surgery 3 days ago and has no pain. Does this mean she has ic?
Too soon to tell. May God bless you and her with wisdom and good health in this journey!
@@LifeSculptbyChristiMD Thank you! God bless!
I have awful hematuria during this.havent been diagnosed 6yrs now
I got ic last year the pain went away then last week it came back
It's always come and go..
what is the numbing medicine called?
I HAVE TO PEE EVERY 1 OZ OF URINE IS SO UNCONFORTABLE :(
What about DMSO?
It works for some.
Nothing really helped until my urologist recommended taking Bromelain & L-Argonne and changing my diet
What kind of diet did you change to? Anti inflammatory?
I have it and my dr is not listening to me I did the biopsy and it came back. I do have mild so far. I don’t know how long I’ve had it. I think it started when I was pregnant with my son or daughter. I don’t remember, but it did come back and he put me on a psychiatric medication I can’t do psychiatric medication. I don’t even see how that is supposed to fix that.
Keep looking for someone who listens to you. That is very important.
Hydrodistension made my pain 100 times worse. Never again!
Are there over the counter medication I can buy for a sore bladder?.
AZO or Phenazopyridine Hydrochloride.
I use natural homeopathic remedy called staphesegrea
lol....support groups and yoga !!! if these worked for real pain im sure most have tried everything
I've never read about, heard about or seen a man's pain being treated by yoga and a friggin support group.
My mom suffers from really bad IC and she was wondering if she could schedule an online consultation with you. We live in CT so not sure if that’s possible 🤔
How is she now? I am also in CT

I wanna try this method anything is wortg it i been trough everything i dont mind doing.this
I need help!!! This is what I’m going through!!
I'm sorry. I have it too. It's awful and chronic. I was misdiagnosed most of my adult life until after developing cancer
I have it too and I'm so miserable 😢
@@WREATHSfloralsDIYS I'm sorry. I struggle with it too. I've cut out any alcohol, coffee, soda, caffeine, tomato-based products, or nearly all fruit as these are high in acidity and I drink alkaline water, nothing else. I try to do all the right things and everyday is urinating razor blades.
@@annmarieknapp so sorry
Me too😫😫😫😫 I don’t know what to do
Nothing my urologist did for my IC helped at all. I found a holistic doctor who studied a research where you cath the patient with lidocaine, B12 and then ozone. How many times this needs to be done is relevant to each patient, but in the research after 6 consecutive treatments the patients were totally healed of IC. Only 6.4% of patients had to come back for any extended treatment. I had 8 treatments because I had suffered with IC for 20 years. 20 years of being mostly homebound with pain and I tried all the treatments you mentioned. This simple inexpensive treatment needs to be made available for ALL IC patients. Please look it up and give people hope for a cure from this insidious disease.
Did it work for you? How many treatments did you do?
@@Lovescoffeeandtea absolutely! Pain free for the first time in 18 years. I just happened to meet a lady who had it done ten years ago and it has never returned. Ten treatments for me. The study says eight, but my bladder was so rock hard the doctor said because I had so much scar tissue from so many years of inflammation. Gloriously pain free!
@@dawnstrohm6982 do you mind sharing the name and contact of your holistic doctor?
I have been looking into this.
Can you let me know which city or Dr you found this treatment?
I wish i could go to this doctor 😞

I’ve had this since I was a teenager. So annoying. I’m really over it
How what did u do
I’m sorry
My GYN Dr have me taking Sodium Bicarbonate one tablet every day but I don’t feel is been helping much I’m still getting the pains specially overnights
I’ve had it my entire life. The only pain relief I’ve ever had came from opiates. Nobody wants to prescribe them either, and now I need to dodge fentanyl. It almost doesn’t seem like it’s worth it anymore I’m so tired.
My relationship was at risk because I had Cystitis/PCOS, facial hair growth felt lot of pains I didn't give up thank God I found a cure through Alternative herbal treatment and body cleanser from Dr Isibor on youtube in less than 2 weeks I'm free now totally Cured
try d mannose it helps
@@nadiabonnici7788 which brand Nadia and how many milligrams? than you
@@margaretmanzer2194 i checked holland and barrett they got it in capsule form than i checked the chemist and they got d mannose combined with other ingredients which is ok,i bought lactocyst plus but if you don,t find just buy whatever contain d mannose as far as the dose they will tell you which is better for you
my mom has non-cancerous lesions of the bladder and they did a fulgeration. This took my mom out of pain for over a year. Now I can't find anyone who will do it and she is 82 and in massive pain. I'm getting very angy at these doctors. They are just out to make money for big pharma. D Mannous is also very hard to find. You would think as common as bladder issues are, the drug stores would carry this. Nation of suffering. No wonder people are getting hooked on fetanyl. They are looking for just average pain meds for their pain but the hospitals label everyone an addict so people elsewhere and getting into trouble.
I’m sorry
Amazon had dmannouse
I have ic disease When it starts giving me trouble I pee every ten minutes, then my bladder will quit working and I have to be put on a catheter , until I can pee on my own.
I cant get passed first line therapies
For experience I would tell you therapies don’t work for everybody☹️
Wear can I find you
For experience I would tell you therapies don’t work for everybody. ☹️
I don’t have the urge to go through the toilet a lot, the only problem I got is balder pain, and back pain, and pain after sex
I’m sorry and hope you can get treatment soon
ineed help
Very much interested!
What about if the bladder is on FIRE and you are in agony yoga ha ha
If yoga cures you ~ you likely never had I.C.
Is insurance covering this PRP procedure?
Nope
Does anyone know the names of prescription medications that help with IC?
They don't help try this calcium glycerophosphate
Elimiron
@@melinda7425 causes hair loss
@@johnhenry6797 I've heard that to. But I know two people who have taken it One had hair loss. One didn't. I already have hair loss so I don't have the option to take it. I can't risk it 😥
@@melinda7425 some things I have found out is that diet and what you drink affects it alot. I found that only drinking water and being on a strict healthy diet has a big effect . Acupuncture can help . I feel like researching what foods to stay away from for this condition can benefit you greatly. In my opinion being vegan would would be the best route and would make things drastically change. It's very hard to do but I believe that's a great option.
None of it worked for me .
Keep seeking answers. You’ll find something that helps.
Im a man i have cystitis anti depression pills disnt work at akl and i was even depress by taking them
Same story here...Try this calcium glycerophosphate....and I heard this helps.. L arginine ...and if you can , only drink water and nothing else ...try to eat as healthy as you can I know its difficult..stay away from any acidic foods and drinks...doctors are no help at all and mostly make you worse...do your own research
@Captain Kenji calcium glycerophosphate seems to help and only drink water
@Captain Kenji try to eat as healthy as you can ...no spicy stuff ...acid foods are bad too
Try Desert Harvest Aloe Vera, It helps you a lot. if you take calcium glycerophosphate regularly, then your body rejects this within 1 year, I had the same problem.
@@prakashg1944 where can I get it ?
How can we do bladder instillations at home?
I can't find where to get a darn catheter anywhere! Please help, I don't want to go to no doctor for this..
That sounds like it could be dangerous to try yourself it could make things worse I wouldn't do that
During a bladder instillation, a solution is inserted into the bladder through a catheter. The solution, or "wash," remains in place for about 10 to 15 minutes before it's drained. The treatment can be done by a urologist or with self-catheterization at home.
Self-catheterization, also called clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) or intermittent self -catheterization (ISC), involves inserting a thin, hollow tube called a catheter into the bladder through the urethra (the tube from which the urine exits your body)
Self-catheterization sounds frightening to many people. It seems as if it would be painful or embarrassing. In fact, it is amazingly easy and there is rarely any discomfort. You need to relax and take some deep breaths before you start

DMSO REALY HELP
Yes it can
Homeopathic staphesegria has helped get rid of the pain when i eat to many sweet things.And preleef tabs before a acidic meal.
Anyone tried desert harvest aloe Vera supplement? Does it help to relieve the pain?
calcium glycerophosphate
I have been taking it for the past 6 months. I would say it's miracle supplement, But it doesn't suit everyone. Please follow diet food for few days and then try this medication to decide whether it's working for you or not. The first time I started this medication when I had mild pain, then I thought this medication increased my pain, so I stopped taking it. After few months I tried again by the following diet for few days, it worked like a germ. I mean to say try this medication for few weeks and decide either to go with it or not.
Yes it does work .It healed my Hunners ulcers.
