1. Bladder bath or instillation. This is a treatment in which the bladder is filled with a medication or a solution that has to be held in for a certain period of time, varying on average from ten to fifteen minutes before the bladder can be emptied. This type of treatment is given at intervals over a six to eight week period. This type of treatment usually shows positive effects after three or four weeks. One of the downsides to the treatment is that the patient may have a garlicky order coming from their skin and/or breath for up to three days after the treatment. 2. Bladder Distention. There have been many patients that have shown much improvement in their particular symptoms after this treatment. This procedure has even been used to diagnose the condition as well as treat it. Studies have not yet proven why this is such a positive method of treatment. One of the downfalls of this treatment is that immediately following the treatment patients have reported that their symptoms actually get worse (temporarily) then subside again only to get better, improving greatly over a two to four week period. A time delay in the relief, so to speak. If you are looking for information about Cystitis, the following links may also be of interest to you:
