In Clinic, interstitial
cystitis is a special type of cystitis. The main features of this disease are the fibrosis of the bladder wall accompanied by reduction in bladder capacity, frequency, urgency etc. Currently, for the treatment of interstitial cystitis, the drugs and surgery therapies are mainly used in clinical. Among the surgery therapy, cystectasia is most commonly used. However, in fact, compared with the cystectasia, TCM is more effective on treating IC.
In general, confirmed by urine routine, cystoscopy and other methods for the interstitial cystitis, most doctors still advocate western drugs therapy first, for example, the most commonly used anti-inflammatory drugs amitriptyline, dimethyl sulfoxide etc. These drugs can play a role in anti-inflammation. However, for the symptom of reduced bladder capacity, the drugs work no avail. So for this symptom, cystectasia has its own advantage. The capacity of the bladder can be enlarged in some degree. Besides, through the surgery, the symptoms of frequency and urgency can be relieved to some extent.
However, although cystectasia can indeed enlarge the bladder capacity and alleviate the symptoms of patients, most patients still appear postoperative pain. And the surgery can not only damage the cystitis organs, but also make the disease easy to recur. Besides, it can't work on the bladder fibrosis caused by interstitial cystitis. So the cystectasia isn't the best treatment for interstitial cystitis.
Then which treatment works well on interstitial cystitis?
In fact, TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) has good effect on treating IC, for example, the national patented herbal medicine
Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill. It can cure this disease according to its symptoms.
Clinically, the reduced bladder capacity is related to the capacity of the bladder wall. Diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill has the functions of softening hardness and dissipating mass, it can help the bladder to recover the normal capacity. Being able to activate blood and resolve stasis, the herbal medicine can diminish all kinds of pain of patients.
In addition, by Western medicine inspection, membrane bleeding of bladder and triangular area and bladder hyperemia can be found. Diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill has the functions of clearing heat and resolving dampness, it can relieve these symptoms effectively. Besides, being able to promote diuresis and relieve stranguria, the herbal medicine can cure the symptoms of urinary frequency and urgency.
All in all, taking everything into consideration, patients can realize that the TCM is more effective for the treatment of interstitial cystitis compared to the cystectasia. It can radically cure this disease both from the symptoms and roots.
