Interstitial cystitis may be associated with an abnormal autoimmune response and manifests as bladder fibrosis with decreased bladder capacity. Fibrosis can usually be controlled by medication, bladder hydrodilatation, and transurethral electrodes.
1. Drug therapy: including immunosuppressive drugs such as azathioprine, antihistamines such as trimethoprim, sodium pentosan sulfate, etc. If pain relief is needed, drugs such as ibuprofen and amitriptyline can be taken.
2. Bladder hydrocystic dilatation: hydrocystic dilatation of the bladder, the amount of water injected into the bladder each time should not be too much, through the dilatation of the bladder can increase the capacity of the bladder and control fibrosis.
3. Transurethral electrolysis: Transurethral electrolysis is suitable for ulcerative interstitial cystitis, which is effective in the short term but still has the possibility of recurrence.
Patients with interstitial cystitis should go to the hospital for treatment, and specific drugs should be used as prescribed by the doctor.
