Adrenals and Interstitial Cystitis

[Guest guest]

I was excited to read the following because I am just now beginning to treat my

adrenal fatigue (stage 5). Hopefully this will improve my IC symptoms even

more. So far I've been helped by following an alkalizing diet, detoxing and

balancing hormones. This is a great discovery that shows how interconnected

everything is!

Painful Pelvic Disorder Linked to Small Adrenal Glands

ISLAMABAD: In experiments with cats, researchers found the animals

who suffered from interstitial cystitis had smaller adrenal glands

than those without the condition.

The finding could lead to new treatments for the chronic, painful

pelvic disorder that affects more than 700,000 people in the United

States, 90 percent of them women.

Interstitial cystitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the

bladder wall. Symptoms include urinary urgency and frequency,

difficulty urinating, minimal urine output and pain in the bladder

and/or the urethra that is temporarily relieved by voiding. In some

patients, pain may radiate to the genitals, rectal area and thighs.

" In cats that have interstitial cystitis, which appears to be the

same in cats as in humans, two of the four zones of their adrenal

glands are unusually small, " says lead researcher Dr. Tony

Buffington, a professor of veterinary clinical sciences at Ohio State

University.
