Redefining Life with Interstitial Cystitis
In my clinic in Adana, Interstitial Cystitis (Painful Bladder Syndrome) is a condition I frequently encounter that significantly impacts my patients' quality of life. The chronic pelvic pain and urinary urgency reported by patients across the Cukurova region require a highly specialized, multidisciplinary approach.
What is Interstitial Cystitis and How is it Diagnosed?
This condition is characterized by chronic inflammation of the bladder wall. My diagnostic protocol includes:
- In-depth patient history and symptom diary evaluation.
- Cystoscopy and hydrodistention for accurate bladder mucosa assessment.
- Exclusion of other urological infections and malignancy.
Treatment Protocols and Sacral Neuromodulation (InterStim)
For many of my patients, lifestyle modifications and oral medications yield significant improvement. However, in refractory cases, I utilize Sacral Neuromodulation, commonly known as the bladder pacemaker (InterStim). This treatment effectively modulates the nerves regulating bladder function, significantly reducing pain and frequency.
