With increasing busy life style people merely get any time to look after their health. But, they forget that without good health earning wealth is not possible. Usually, minor but uneasy symptoms are ignored at initial level and later they turn into the reason of chronic disease. Interstitial cystitis (IC) is one of those illnesses which is prominently becoming common due to negligence or not treating them on time. IC as a state of disease resulting in to chronic uneasiness or ache in the bladder and the adjacent pelvic area is affecting millions of people every years.
Catching it becomes tough because its signs vary from patient to patient or even in the same individual. People suffering from IC bear mild discomfort, tenderness, pressure, sometimes intense pain in the bladder and pelvic region. They also experience the need of frequent urination, an extreme urge to urinate, or a blend of these signs. Few of the patients also feel pain in bladder when the bladder fills with urine or during discharge.
With the data so far it has been observed that the interstitial cystitis is more regular in women compared to men. However, men face more trouble and suffer with severe pain. Pregnant women and women with menstruation trouble are more prone to catch this disease. Women also get badly affected during menstruation or experience pain during vaginal intercourse. Due to its varying symptoms and severity researchers believe it to be a blend of several diseases.
People suffering from interstitial cystitis are incapable of holding urine in their bladder for long. Hence, they feel frequent urge to urinate. Actual cause of this disease is yet to know. Several researches are being conducted to identify the actual cause for this disease. Current treatment process is solely based on the symptoms. It can be said as symptoms are treated rather the actual disease. On its treatment front antibiotic is advised. However, using antibiotic for long may result into to many undesirable circumstances. This may include nausea, fever and upset stomach. Prolong use of antibiotic weakens the immune system and increases the chance of catching other diseases.
Hence natural mode of treatment is more recommended. As herbal medicines hardly have any side effects it is considered as safest drug. Changing food habit can also help to control the uneasiness. But, remember that home remedies of changing food habit can only control the interstitial cystitis but cannot uproot it. Hence, proper treatment is advisable.
