Thank you for all you do for me! You’re an amazing doctor and I appreciate your support, understanding, and continual medical care that you provide to me! I couldn’t do this without you!
Thank you, Dr. McQueary! As one of your patients, I appreciate so much having this video as a follow up to my last appointment with you. Regarding some OTC meds I already take for reflux and allergies, will the famotidine and Xyzal I take help like the ones you mention here as anti acidic and antihistamine properties? What about aloe vera juice, that helps soothe gastric issues? Could it also help soothe bladder lining? Just thinking outside the box as we go down the relief road. Thanks so much!❤
Dr McQueary, I can say YES to all the symptoms, but what baffles me is that, my Urine Culture showed E-coli twice...and I am NOT responding to antibiotics, including Fosfomycin. Also my urine routine report shows "PUS CELLS OVER 200". For past 10 months, burning at the end of flow of urine, waking up every half hour at night to pass urine, sore & raw discomfort in urethra/vaginal area. What should I do ? Pl help !
It sounds like to me that you have urinary retention. You are not emptying your bladder all the way and that can be due to prolapse. You can get bacteria that are not easily treated by any antibiotics at this point. You definitely need to see a Urology or Urogynecology expert to evaluate your problems.
Hello all, I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis for many years. Nothing helped, not the traditional treatment, not the antibiotics. I´ve been on vaginal HRT (hormone replacement therapy, estrogen) for 6 months now and the pain stopped within the first few days. Please note that postmenopause can be the reason for those symptoms.
Hello all. I have suffered very debilitating pain with interstitial cystitis since 2001. I'm so frustrated that they don't have more options for people suffering to where it's hard to walk some days. I don't have much option here as far as pain control. There are no doctors in my area
I think it's used mostly for cramping. St. John's Wort can be used and is helpful for some people. Sometimes medication treatment of stress is an important factor in helping Interstitial Cystitis. Good luck!!!
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary what are nerve treatments? I already had fulguration of the lesions twice. First time worked great. Second time not so much. I just came across your channel today. Great information.
Hello Doctor! I’m having a IC flare up after a UTI 2 months ago. I’m being treated by a Urologist and I’ve had a CTUROGRAM and 2 UTID tests all come back negative. I have constant burning when I pee and even after . Looking for any advise .
Follow the instructions in this video but see a urogynecologist or urologist who can continue to treat these issues. Ask about bladder instillations with heparin.
I have been diagnosed with this, the scan showed a badly scarred Bladder. I have had Instillations which helped a bit, then acupuncture, which also helped. But what I would love to know is, why does my pain get worse after passing water.
I had the tests cystoscopy and urodynamics but nothing comes up in that. I was not able to pass the urine in urodynamics with that tube in and i was awake during cystoscopy. The doctor told me its all in my head, i need to control my urgency but what about the pain. The pain becomes worse if i dont drink for 1-2 hour. I again have to drink a lot and pee then the pain reduces a bit.
A lot of times she need to be treated for the symptoms that you were having. Try to get to an interstitial cystitis specialist and you can find that through the network online.
Hi doc...im taking antibiotics but why still feel pain and my pee has a blood?then if im finish pee my urethra and vaginal im feel hurt and burning and my back also and my all body..then sometimes my urethra still hurt and like needles..
@@nelmaantenero1345 may not be a uti. Make sure they get a culture of your urine when you are tested to know the bacteria that are causing it and the antibiotics that will help effectively.

yes famotidine and any antihistamine can work.
I am not sure about Aloe vera??

@@agnes77741 it certainly can be one of the issues that cause irritation.
I do have the same need help

So sorry look at www.ichelp.org/ to get more information.
Would you recommend magnesium glycinate for the decrease of stress?
I think it's used mostly for cramping. St. John's Wort can be used and is helpful for some people. Sometimes medication treatment of stress is an important factor in helping Interstitial Cystitis. Good luck!!!
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary thank you!
@@DrJeffreyMcQuearyI'm scared to try Botox. I have Hunners lesions.
@@sandrathom9297 I am not the biggest fan either. I prefer nerve treatments that tend to help more permanently.
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary what are nerve treatments? I already had fulguration of the lesions twice. First time worked great. Second time not so much. I just came across your channel today. Great information.
Can this be caused by repeated catheter use....such as repeated surgical interventions in a short amount of time? Or just a result of sepsis?
Typically not by catheter use but uti’s can lead to chronic irritation of the bladder.
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary one catheter no.. but this was 4 surgeries in 5 days??

Have you had treatment for a bladder infection, also known as a UTI?
@@DrJeffreyMcQueary this is uti doc?how many times to going to hospital to check up then I take antibiotics but how many days back againe
@@nelmaantenero1345 may not be a uti. Make sure they get a culture of your urine when you are tested to know the bacteria that are causing it and the antibiotics that will help effectively.
yes to all, but i did not tried antibiotics, no pain during sex, never tried to undergo urine culture. i love vegetable s.
Possibly low dose antibiotics can help. Just follow a IC diet that you can find online.
thank you
You're welcome
❤
Many of those symptoms can be from a hypertonic pelvic floor
Which is often associated with IC
How to talk too you i need ur help pls reply sir
You can continue to ask questions through this forum. I am happy to give you some general advice that you can discuss with your own physician.

Tomatoes? Thought they were good for your prostate.🙄
They may but they can irritate the bladder with IC
Too acidic… add baking soda to sauce.
