What Is Interstitial Cystitis?
8. Medication
Interstitial cystitis cannot be cured, but it can be treated. Treatment includes antihistamines which can help to reduce the frequency that the patient needs to urinate. The patient may also be prescribed medication that will help to relieve pain, while some medication may also be used that will help to relax the bladder.
Another type of medication may also be prescribed that will help to restore the patient’s epithelium, and this can prevent irritating chemicals from leaking into the bladder. While this medication may be effective in the medium to long term, it will take some time before the patient begins to feel any benefit from it.
