What is the best treatment for IC after knowing what IC is?

Just like glandular cystitis, interstitial cystitis also is a disease that has its causes unknown. Moreover, interstitial cystitis also is a disease that easy to misdiagnosis other diseases like prostate pain and nonbacterial prostatitis because its symptoms are similar with them. To distinguish them, patients need to do some tests listed below.

In urine test, some IC patients get the report of normal but some have one plus “+” on white blood cell term but no bacteria. On the urine culture test, although the result of bacterial culture is negative, the capacity of bladder lessens to 100 ML to 250 ML shown by cystoscope. On biopsy, IC patients have red spot on Bladder mucosa, congestion on blood vessel, and more than 3 glomus. All of those things are good ways to help us distinguishing IC with other diseases.

Although many diseases have same symptoms with IC, symptoms of IC are various from person to person, according to the feedback of IC patients. Some have the symptoms of frequent night urination, painful urination and so on, while some have symptoms like painful sexual intercourse, urgent urinary incontinence, bloody urine and pressure pain on the phalanges area.

As for the treatment for IC, conservative treatment is better than surgery, because nidus cannot be cleared totally by surgeries like TUR, bladder augmentation, Urinary Diversion and so on. What's more, surgeries cannot release pain too. However, conservative treatment has no such problems. Let's take Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill for example.

IC can be cured by this pill totally within four months. During treatment period, releasing of symptoms are obvious. Around two months treatment with Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, the discomforts on urinary tract can be eliminated gradually.

If one wants his or her IC disappeared quickly, he or she also can take other treatments like Cystitis perfusion, hyperbaric therapy, or TENS with Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill. It is a good way to short the treating period.
