My wife has interstitial cystitis. any advice on how to deal with it?

See an expert: Ic is a complex pain syndrome that is less abladder disease and more a pain disorder with difficulty in processing and dampening pain. Palliative care/pelvic pain teams are of some benefit. Treatments include physical therapy, dietary changes, oral medication (elmiron), local injections (botox, lidocaine), nerve stimulators for pain control. Every patient has a different need.

Find an experienced: Urologist or urogynecologist to help you manage this syndrome.
