Guest guest Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Dear Friends, I never had a urodynamics study because I was having trouble anyway in that area. I would not have done very well with that test because I have interstitial cystitis and I cannot tolerate much in my bladder. So many things annoy the bladder when you have this painful condition. It can be acidic foods, too much fluid in the bladder, cola and salts. Even potassium is a problem because it passes out to the bladder which can cause pain. I had a cystoscopy performed during my endo/lap surgery last year. In the cystoscopy, they specifically look very closely at the bladder. Afterwards, the surgeon told me she saw all little bumps on my bladder....that is one of the ways they know I have IC. I was hoping they did not see these things but what can you do? So, I use the teas and try to have as little acidic foods as possible. But it still is painful. Especially after endo/fibroid surgery because that also annoys the area. But, I always say as long as my ear is not throbbing and I am not hearing water roaring, I can try to tolerate a great deal. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
