Hello friends,

I’ve been battling chronic painful urination for several months now, and it’s starting to really affect my quality of life. My doctor suspects interstitial cystitis and we’re exploring treatment options, but I’m reaching out to see if anyone here has gone through something similar. 

What have been your experiences with long-term management? Have dietary changes, medications, or specific therapies provided relief? I’m especially interested in hearing about any lifestyle adjustments or natural remedies that have been effective. 

Living with this constant discomfort is challenging, and any personal stories or advice would be deeply appreciated as I navigate this condition.

Thanks so much!
