interstitial cystitis
"I live in India, 26 years of age, I was suffering from urgency, nocturia, bladder burning sensation. I showed to a urologist, he did many tests including cystoscopy and doubtfully labelled me as Interstitial Cystitis, but was not sure of his diagnosis, so showed to 3 more urologists over the span of next 2 years, who were very casually saying it to be chronic urinary tract infection, urethral stricture as if they didn't even believe in IC's existence(but I believed I had IC), then finally I visited an IC expert in Ahmedabad who confirmed IC. gave me PPS 300mg per day, amitriptyline 10mg per day & hydroxyzine 25 mg per day. I'm 90% relieved within 1.5 months (now taking only PPS), only bananas aggravate my situation. Not doing any restriction on coffee and other items."
