Components of Interstitial Cystitis Care
✔ Detailed Symptom Evaluation – Thorough assessment of bladder pain characteristics, urinary frequency/urgency, and impact on daily life, in the absence of infection.
✔ Exclusion of Other Conditions – Comprehensive testing (urinalysis, urine culture, prostate exam) to rule out UTIs, prostatitis, or other urological disorders that mimic IC.
✔ Dietary & Lifestyle Modifications – Guidance on identifying and avoiding trigger foods and drinks (e.g., acidic foods, caffeine, alcohol), stress management, and bladder retraining techniques. ✔ Oral Medications – Prescription drugs such as pentosan polysulfate sodium (Elmiron®), antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants, or pain relievers to manage symptoms.
✔ Intravesical Instillations – Direct instillation of medications (e.g., DMSO, heparin, lidocaine) into the bladder to soothe the bladder lining and reduce inflammation.
✔ Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy – Referral to specialized physical therapists who can address pelvic floor muscle tension and dysfunction often associated with IC pain.
✔ Advanced Therapies – For severe cases, options may include nerve stimulation, hydrodistension, or, rarely, surgical interventions.
✔ Psychological Support & Pain Management – Counseling, biofeedback, or chronic pain management strategies to help cope with and reduce symptoms.
