INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS (IC), also known as PAINFUL BLADDER SYNDROME, is a chronic condition that causes bladder and pelvic pain. Unlike typical urinary infections, IC is not caused by bacteria, and antibiotics usually do not help.
Key Facts:
Symptoms:
• Frequent urination, both day and night
• Bladder pressure or pain that may lessen temporarily after urinating
• Discomfort that varies with bladder filling
Triggers:
• Certain foods and beverages (e.g., citrus fruits, caffeinated drinks, spicy foods, alcohol)
• Stress and fatigue
Diagnosis and Management:
• Diagnosis involves ruling out infections or other urinary issues through tests and sometimes a cystoscopy.
• Treatments include medications, pelvic floor physical therapy, bladder instillations, and dietary or lifestyle changes.
If you experience ongoing bladder pain or frequent urination, seek professional advice.
For evaluation, diagnosis, and personalized management, please visit Dr. Onyango Oluoch or call 0721850826. Early intervention can improve your quality of life.
