The Professional Association of Urology in Germany said that interstitial cystitis is chronic in the bladder wall, and can negatively affect the quality of life.
She explained that the accurate causes of this inflammation are not accurately known so far, but doctors are likely that the cause of the injury lies in the weakness of the protective mucous membrane in the bladder, and then attack the irritating materials in the urine the bladder wall.
Possible causes also include autoimmune diseases, chronic inflammatory reactions and hormonal fluctuations.
Unlike classic cystitis, no bacterial infection can be detected in the bladder.
Symptoms of interstitial cystitis
Symptoms of intellectual cystitis are feeling lower abdominal pain, in the pelvis, the repeated need to urinate and a constant feeling of pressure, which often does not improve urination.
Inflammation of the interstitial cystitis cannot be cured. However, symptoms can be relieved by medications, physical therapy, and exercises to strengthen pelvic floor muscles. Nutrition also plays an important role, as foods that exacerbate symptoms, such as acidic fruits, hot foods and coffee should be avoided.
Psychological tension exacerbates the symptoms, so it should be confronted by practicing relaxation techniques such as yoga and meditation.
Sometimes surgery can be used, if other therapeutic methods do not succeed in relieving symptoms.
