bladder installations
Hi, I have interstitial cystitis so pain, but no infection. I have been doing hyacyst instill for 10 years now. I do it monthly and it has been brilliant and my flares are very infrequent now. I use a catheter to completely empty my bladder, then instill the hyacyst.
What are your symptoms of IC the specialist is saying she thinks I have IC my symptoms are after urinating it feels sore down below and will feel sore sometimes for a while sometimes for a short time.
I've had Hyacyst instillations in the past. They worked for 18 months and then lost efficacy for reasons unexplained. I now use Hiprex which has been working perfectly for 18 months (touching wood as I write). Neither treatment will clear an existing infection (you need an anti-B to clear) but will stop them coming back in my experience. Much better solutions than anti-Bs!! My consultant advises rotating between the two treatments if and when they start to fail.
Good luck, Hiprex would be my preference over instillations which are no problem but obviously way more hassle!
