[손기정 일중한의원 원장] Among cystitis, the most difficult and intractable chronic disease to treat is interstitial cystitis. Because it is not caused by bacteria, antibiotics do not work well and there is no clear treatment, which is the main reason it becomes chronic.

Interstitial cystitis is accompanied by frequent urination and pain that is severe enough to require urination more than 15 to 20 times a day. I wake up five or six times at night to go to the bathroom, my sleep quality deteriorates, I suffer from overwork, and I also experience sharp, stabbing pain when I have to urinate. In severe cases, hematuria and ulcer symptoms may occur. depression due to severe pain

Ki-jeong Son, director of Iljung Oriental Medicine Clinic, says it can lead to suicidal thoughts, and patients complain that daily life is difficult. The majority of these interstitial cystitis patients have another thing in common. Initially, it was thought to be a simple cystitis, and the patient spent a long time in pain following visiting several hospitals.

There is a typical case of a female patient in her 60s who recently underwent successful treatment. This woman started having pain in her bladder 15 years ago, and at first thought it was just cystitis and went to a nearby hospital. She was prescribed antibiotic-like medication and took it, so her symptoms seemed to improve slightly at first, but eventually she seemed to get better, but as time passed, symptoms of pain appeared once more. She said that she lived with extreme pain that felt like pricking her bladder with the tip of a knife, and that she wanted to urinate, but when she went to the bathroom, no urine came out.

I searched everywhere, asked everywhere, and went to several urology clinics to try to cure my cystitis. Since he was not getting better in the meantime, he went to another oriental medicine clinic, but he felt that the pain was getting worse and not getting better. I spent 15 years fighting the stinging urine and extreme pain.

It was early this year that this patient visited my oriental medicine clinic following searching for information on bladder and urinary diseases as if he were holding teeth. I thought it was just cystitis and endured it for 15 years, and I thought regarding surgery, which was introduced in various videos on the Internet, but I thought it was scary and not a fundamental solution. And because he thought that it would be difficult to live the rest of his life properly as he was now, he felt like grasping at straws, and following seeing other patients’ stories of recovery, he gained hope that he too might get better.

With this female patient, we first made a promise together to have faith and patience that she might get better in order to overcome her difficult interstitial cystitis. She took the prescribed herbal medicine Chuknyotang three times a day and combined acupuncture treatment. After seven months of treatment, her symptoms improved by more than 70%. She said that she was relieved because there was no need to worry regarding resistance to the proven herbal medicine, and that the improvement was good enough that she felt an improvement in taking it consistently. Now, more than anything, I have regained my daily routine when I was healthy, and my symptoms have improved to the point where I can go back to work and start working once more.

Interstitial cystitis is a more difficult disease because it is not just cystitis. The main cause of patients being in deep pain is fibrosis of the inner wall of the bladder. There are limitations to procedures that suppress bladder activity with drugs or forcefully expand bladder capacity. However, as in the case of the female patient, interstitial cystitis is a disease that can be treated with oriental medicine to restore damaged bladder walls and restore function.

And, as an Oriental medicine doctor, sharing treatment experiences and encouraging each other with a sense of compassion makes me feel truly grateful and respectful to my patients. This is because it is selflessness that prevents one’s pain from spreading to others, and it gives hope to each other that a complete cure can be achieved.
