Interstitial
cystitis (IC)is a rare disease that belongs to chronic cystitis. Both men and
women can be infected by this disease while middle-aged women have the highest morbidity.
The main characteristic of this disease is the fibrosis of the bladder wall, and
along with the decrease of bladder capacity. The main symptoms are urinary
frequency and urgency, swelling and pain in the bladder area. The symptoms usually can last
for more than one year.
How to cure the interstitial cystitis? Before
answering this question, it is important for us to figure out the causes of IC.
Although the exact causes of interstitial cystitis are still unknown, some
researches show that the factors like autoimmune reaction, heredity, infection
or allergy are all possible causes of interstitial cystitis.
Therefore, anti-inflammatory drugs become the most
commonly treatment for interstitial cystitis. Here is a brief introduction of 4
commonly anti-inflammatory drugs for interstitial cystitis.
Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill
Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory
Pill is a patented herbal medicine of Dr. Lee, the chief doctor of Wuhan Dr.
Lee’s TCM clinic. By combining different herbs into together, this herbal
medicine has strong ability of clearing infection, inflammatory and toxic materials.
What’s more, this herbal medicine also has other amazing functions that other
treatment doesn’t have. It can improve the self-healing ability and also can
enhance the immunity. Therefore, it is the first anti-inflammatory pill that
should be introduced.
Sulfamethoxazole
Sulfamethoxazole is a commonly used medicine for
interstitial cystitis. This medicine is commonly used to prevent the formation
of dihydrofolic acid, a compound that bacteria must be able to make in order to
survive. Although this medicine is widely used to cure the interstitial
cystitis before, its effect isn’t very good. Sulfamethoxazole is now used
primarily in combination with other types of anti-bacterial drugs. But its
effect is only a little better for IC. This is second one that should be
introduced.
Sodium bicarbonate
Sodium bicarbonate is also a frequently used medicine
for interstitial cystitis, even though it is a commonly used antacid to treat
heartburn, acid ingestion and upset stomach. Generally speaking, this herbal
medicine is always used with other anti-inflammatory pills to cure the
interstitial cystitis. So, if you want to cure your interstitial cystitis only
with this medicine, it is impossible. This is the third one that should be
introduced. But please remember that this one should be used in combination
with other medicine.
Trimethoprim
This is the last type of medicine that should be
introduced. This medicine can also be used to cure interstitial cystitis. But this medicine can
also bring lots of side effects to patients, including loss of appetite,
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, abnormal taste and swelling of the
tongue. Therefore, it is not suitable for a long term taking. What’s more, this
medicine is also better be combined with other type of anti-inflammatory
pills.
No matter what medicine you choose to cure interstitial
cystitis, the most important thing is that it can cure you disease completely
without recurrence. Patients should also pay attention to the eating habits, food
such as alcohol, pepper, chicken, fish, beef, shrimp, seafood, pickles and milk
are forbidden. If patients don’t control the diet well, their treatment could
last longer.
If you want to consult about
you disease and condition, you can send an e-mail to Dr. Lee, who has 30 years
of experiences on curing the urinary system diseases:
