Interstitial Cystitis (IC) -Ayurvedic Approach

Abstract

Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is a chronic bladder condition resulting in recurring discomfort or pain in the bladder or surrounding pelvic region. People with IC usually have inflamed or irritated bladder walls which can cause scarring and stiffening of the bladder. IC affects men and women of all racial and ethnic backgrounds and ages. However, it is more common in women than men. This condition is very much painful, difficult to explain and tolerate especially for working female in India. Also due to lack of   facilities, cleanliness, and unhygienic conditions it’s very hard to prevent. Treatment for IC in modern medicine is anti-inflammatory and Antibiotics. There is increasing resistance towards available antibiotics. Hence everyone is searching for better option with better result and within the reach of common people. We conducted a clinical trial on 60 patients of age from 30 to 50 years. We gave trial for Doorvadi tail Uttarbasti for 3 days in Mootrakriccha.
