Home About us Articles Books ... Quizzes Woman's Diagnostic Cyber Disease Profile Name Interstitial Cystitis Synonyms bladder ulcers, Hunner ulcer, Hunner Syndrome, panmural fibrosis, submucosal cystitis, submucosal ulcer of the bladder, lower urogenital tract epithelial dysfunction General description inflammatory disease of the bladder wall of unknown etiology. It mimics urinary tract infection symptoms but bacterial urine cultures are negative and it does not respond to antibiotics. It may be ulcerative or non-ulcerative Is it common? Incidence is about 10-500/100000. About 0.01%-0.5% of population ( ). (about 450,000 - 700,000 in the U.S.) 90% of cases occur in women and 10% in men. Average age of onset is 40 years old. Differentiating features The onset of symptoms is subacute building up to a steady level of symptoms. Once that level is reached it does not progressively worsen over time. Urinary frequency during day (up to 50-60 times) and night (up to 20-30 times), pain with urination, all in the absence of laboratory signs of infection. The urinary pain is relieved by voiding. There is general agreement that there are at least two types of presentation - classic disease with ulcerations and non ulcerative disease ( ). In the classic presentation, there are ulcers or diffuse glomerulations seen on cystoscopy. Cystoscopy is necessary to confirm and also to rule out carcinoma insitu of the bladder, urethral diverticula, and schistosomiasis. A complete blood count with differential is performed to rule out an eosinophilic cystitis.

Awareness of the disease and proactive treatment for patients suffered a devastating set back as a generation of physicians were apparently taught that IC was no more than a hysterical disease. Even today, some patients encounter physicians who believe that there is no treatment for IC other than referral for a psychological evaluation

MSNBC Shopping Search MSNBC: Advanced Search Discomfort: The Mystery of Cystitis By Celeste Robb-Nicholson, M.D., and Carolyn Schatz Newsweek May 10 issue - It's your umpteenth trip to the bathroom to empty your bladder, and the pressure still feels intense. Another annoying urinary-tract infection? Maybe not. If you've had this experience, and antibiotics haven't helped, you may have a different and more aggravating condition called interstitial cystitis. This chronic, poorly understood bladder inflammation affects more than 700,000 people in this country—and 90 percent of them are women. advertisement No one knows exactly what causes interstitial cystitis. It doesn't involve the bacteria that trigger typical urinary infections. Most experts believe it results from small breaches in the mucus barrier that normally prevents noxious substances in the urine from seeping through and irritating the bladder wall. There is no scientific evidence linking interstitial cystitis to diet, but many people believe that caffeine, alcohol and certain foods (including tomatoes, citrus fruits and chocolate) may aggravate it.

54. Interstitial Cystitis: Progress Against Disabling Bladder Condition A case history of a woman from age 2046. Informative reading followed by a history of this disease, its diagnosis, symptoms and treatment. http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/995_cystitis.html

Interstitial Cystitis Progress Against Disabling Bladder Condition by Evelyn Zamula The woman knew she was going to be fired from her job. Since her 20s, this insurance firm middle manager has suffered from interstitial cystitis (IC), an inflammatory disease of the bladder wall. The chief symptoms Marsha (not her real name) has are a smaller than normal bladder capacity, urgent and frequent urination, feelings of pressure and pain around the bladder and in the pelvic area, and painful sexual intercourse. Now 46 years old, she has coped with these symptoms fairly well until recently, when they have worsened. On some days, Marsha is in such agony that she can barely walk. Though sympathetic at first, Marsha's supervisor became impatient with her frequent bouts of pain and trips to the bathroom, as well as time lost from sick days and doctor's appointments, even though she's made up every minute. When she started to miss policy meetings, Marsha began to get indications that she would be fired. Her boss would comment that she couldn't know what was going on because, "You aren't always here." Finally, when Marsha needed to urinate every 20 minutes at work and 10 times during the night, leaving her exhausted and depressed in the morning, she became so fearful of being asked to leave that she decided to retire on disability instead. She hopes to return to her job when she feels better, but so far it hasn't been possible.

ORDER NOW by Diane K. Newman, RNC, MSN, CRNP, FAAN Article topics: Introduction Evaluating IC Treatment Drug Therapy ... References Introduction Interstitial cystitis (IC), IC is a bladder syndrome found mostly in women that can result in a severe, debilitating, and chronic disorder. In the United States, IC affects approximately 500,000 persons of which the majority are women. Persons with IC have a bladder wall that is tender and easily irritated, which leads to uncomfortable symptoms. Women with IC complain of severe urinary urgency, frequent urination, lower abdominal or perineal pain and pressure, painful sexual intercourse, and, in many cases, urinary incontinence. IC begins gradually and becomes progressively worse. Symptoms may go away for a period of time (remission), but usually return. Many persons with IC, especially women, are misdiagnosed. Women with chronic IC and severe nocturia may experience depression due to sleep deprivation. Many doctors believe that IC has psychosomatic origins and tell women patients, “It’s all in your head.” This is not true. The exact cause of IC is not universally understood, but includes a variety of causes such as chronic infection of the bladder, lymphatic disease, autoimmune disorders (self-attacking disease where the body turns on itself), and even psychologic and neurologic conditions.

60. Interstitial Cystitis, Get Your Life Back! Developed by two patients of Dr. Matia Brizman, a Doctor of Acupuncture and practitioner of Chinese medicine. For patients suffering the ravages of IC, disease information, and hope for recovery from this disease. http://www.icaroadtorecovery.com

A Road To Recovery! So you have Interstitial Cystitis (IC); you have been told that there is no end to the suffering. You probably do not have a doctor who understands what you are going through, your symptoms are not improving and your daily life revolves around your bladder. You share your misery with others who have IC; they are empathetic and encouraging, but you have lost hope because you need more than just supportyou need to feel better. What if an answer existed? What if it were possible that you could actually be relieved of your symptoms? Would you want to investigate that possibility? This website has been developed to offer you the possibility of regaining control over your life. All we ask is that you read, learn and make your own informed decision. OUR MISSION - WHY WE CREATED THIS SITE! This website has been developed by two patients of Matia Brizman, a Doctor of Acupuncture and practitioner of Chinese medicine. We have taken it upon ourselves to get the word out to patients suffering the ravages of IC that there is hope out there; that there is someone who is consistently helping people by providing a treatment regimen that allows them to lead a better life. It has been a very frustrating task trying to inform people about the existence of Matia and about her in-depth knowledge of the disease and how her methods effectively treat IC in a healthy, logical way. We understand the resistance of people to something that is not mainstream, something that, in most cases, is dismissed by Western doctors as unproven, or not worth consideration. But then again, what in Western medicine has been proven to work to help all us desperate IC patients recover?
