As below , it is a chronic inflammatory condition. If that is the case do NOT use antibiotics as they will suppress the condition and degrade the Immune System!
The closest are ..
Lycopodium
Cantharis
Pulsatilla.
Lyc eats little and often and has a tired spell between 4oc and 8oc in the afternoon
With Cantharis the whole condition develops rapidly and can quickly turn nasty
Pulsatilla is usually pale , blonde , easily led and had ear trouble as a child. Cant stand rich greasy foods.

Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic, debilitating inflammatory disease of the urinary bladder, characterized by chronic pelvic pain, urgency/frequency symptoms, and decrease of the functional bladder capacity. Both the etiology and pathogenesis of the condition that predominantly affects women are still not fully understood.Thus, a causal therapeutic approach still does not exist. IC remains a strict diagnosis of exclusion; distinct histopathological findings within the bladder wall are frequently found, although they are not pathognomonic. The diagnostic criteria elaborated by the NIH are helpful in clinical research; their dogmatic utilization will however lead to an underdiagnosis of IC in 60% of the patients. IC-specific symptom questionnaires and validated symptom scales help the physician to assess the therapeutic response during the follow-up of the patients. |
