Suggest Treatment For Constant Flares When Diagnosed With Interstitual Cystitis
Hi I am 34 female 5f2inch and weigh 11 stone I have Interstitual cystitis really bad and stopped taking the pill which was microgynon over a year ago but I now have constant flares. The doctor took me off it as I am a smoker and over weight. Is there any other hormone that may help with my I.C. Many Thanks, Kelly

Hi,
Contraceptives don't have any role in treating interstitial cystitis. Try life style changes like carbonated beverages, chocolates, vitamin C high doses. physical therapy and bladder training. Try pain medicines like Ibuprofen/try to reduce weight./wearing loose clothes. Consult a urologist for perfect diagnosis and specific treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
