“…These symptoms might have negative impacts on several aspects of the quality of life of patients with IC/BPS. These patients drank less coffee and consumed less spicy food to avoid potential worsening of their LUTS 12,14,15 . They also chose to avoid working at workplaces requiring one to wear special work garments and used less makeup, either owing to their fewer social activities or because they usually worked from home.…”

Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) negatively affects the quality of life. In this study, we investigated the lifestyle behavioral changes patients with IC/BPS make to cope with their symptoms. This prospective study was conducted between August 2018 and June 2019. All patients had a primary symptom of suprapubic pain with a full bladder and other lower urinary tract symptoms for more than 6 weeks as well as cystoscopic findings. All participants completed our self-developed questionnaire, which included informations about their living and work environment, occupational garments, dietary habits, and personal habits. Continuous variables were compared using an independent sample t test, and categorical variables were compared using a chi-square test. We recruited 86 patients with IC/BPS and age-matched 86 controls without IC/BPS. In our study, patients with IC/BPS had more cranberry intake (45.34% vs. 5.81%, P < 0.05) than non-IC/BPS controls; the IC/BPS group had decreased consumption of coffee and spicy food; and wore less makeup or special work garments. In conclusion, patients with IC/BPS tend to make several lifestyle behavioral changes to cope with their symptoms.

“…Psychodiagnostisch liegt bei vielen IC/BPS-Patienten eine chronische Schmerzstörung mit somatischen und psychischen Faktoren vor (ICD-10: F45.41). Komorbiditäten sind häufig, u. a. Ängste, Depressionen, posttraumatische Belastungsstörungen (u. a. durch Gewalt und sexuelle Missbrauchserfahrungen) sowie eine ausgeprägte Erschöpfung/Fatigue [10][11][12][13].…”

ZusammenfassungNach nicht erfolgreicher ambulanter konservativer oder auch stationär invasiver Therapie und nach Zystektomie bei interstitieller Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrom (IC/BPS) soll laut deutscher IC-Leitlinie eine fachspezifische stationäre urologische Rehabilitation (Reha) beantragt werden. Während dieser wird die Diagnostik bei Bedarf vervollständigt. Die multimodale Therapie umfasst insbesondere die Optimierung des eigenen Lebensstils und der Medikation. Eine intensive psychologische Betreuung kann oft die Krankheitsverarbeitung verbessern. Verschiedene Formen der Bewegungstherapie und die physikalische Therapie mit Wasseranwendungen, Wärmeanwendungen, diversen Formen der Massage und Elektro- bzw. Magnettherapie sowie eine Ernährungsberatung führen häufig zur Linderung der Beschwerden. Die Behandlungsmaßnahmen werden bei Bedarf im Verlauf der Reha angepasst. In der Reha erfolgt auch eine sozialmedizinische Beurteilung und Beratung der Patienten, u.a. zum zu erwartenden Grad der Behinderung und zur Arbeitsfähigkeit. Zwei Drittel der Patienten weisen zum Ende der Reha eine wesentliche Besserung auf, die bei ca. 50% der Patienten auch über einen längeren Zeitraum anhält.

“…Similarly to physical therapy, because of safety and relatively affordability, acupuncture can be considered an option in women affected by IC/BPS based on studies suggesting the effectiveness of the technique, although the evidence is limited and more data are required [ 11 , 29 , 33 - 35 ].…”

“…Endometriosis is able to present with similar symptoms and can directly involve the bladder [ 9 ], and not rarely the two conditions are overlapping [ 10 ]. However, the correct identification of symptoms and the exclusion of other pathologies as well as the suspect of an overlapping condition are important to appropriately refer the patient to a urologist or urogynecologist [ 11 ].…”

An update on treatment options for interstitial cystitis

Interstitial cystitis or bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a chronic pelvic pain syndrome related to the urinary bladder. The ideal treatment should match as much as possible with the pathophysiologic causes of the IC/BPS, but the scarcely available evidence limits this approach, with the majority of available treatments that are primarily targeted to the control of symptoms. The treatment strategies have traditionally focused on the bladder, which is considered the primary end-organ and source of pain. Nevertheless, the growing body of evidence suggests a multifaceted nature of the disease with systemic components. In general, guidelines recommend the personalized and progressive approach, that starts from the more conservative options and then advances toward more invasive and combined treatments. The behavioral changes represent the first and most conservative steps. They can be combined with oral medications or progressively with intravesical instillation of drugs, up to more invasive techniques in a combined way. Despite the multiple available options, the optimal treatment is not easy to be found. Only further investigation on the etiopathogenetic mechanisms, taking into account the differences among subgroups, and the interaction between central and peripherical factors may allow providing a real improvement in the treatment and management of these patients.
