Interstitial Cystitis and Bladder Symptoms

By Dr. Marty Ross

Some patients with Lyme disease and bartonella infection have symptoms similar to those seen in a bladder infection. These symptoms include

• urge to urinate,
• bladder pain and pain on urination,
• bladder cramping, and
• increased frequency of urination.

When these symptoms occur, a bladder infection should be ruled out by a healthcare provider. When it is ruled out, these symptoms are often the result of a condition called Interstitial Cystitis. Depending on a person’s age and other risk factors, a urologist may need to evaluate the bladder with a fiberoptic scope to assure that cancer is not present and to confirm a diagnosis of Interstitial Cystitis.

In this article I review the ways to support Interstitial Cystitis with natural medicines in a Lyme disease treatment.  (See link for article and video)
