Hi EVERYONE
I am a 24 year old boy living in Sweden who suffres from IC or at leat I think it is IC.
My main symptoms are frequency not during the night though. I dont have any pain or so but I also suffer from ED which I think is linked to the IC. However I had a cysto done 4 monts ago. The docor told me that there was a swelling in the bootom if the bladder in the mucous membrane. The doctor did a biposy which revealed inflammation. But he still told me that I did not have IC. So I went abroad to see a different doctor who I very knowledgable in IC and prostatitis which I also suffer mildly from. He ran some test including APF which was positive. This was a marker for IC he told me, so that way O got my diagnosis. However the culture also revealed enterococus faecalis. The docotr I went to explained to me that the enterococcus was not causing the symptoms but they probably made it worse. But going on antibiotics would not heal my bladder it would only easy my discomfort when on the abx. The heal my bladder I have to take Elmiron, he told me. However I still have very great respect for this doc but I have my doubts when reading about people that has been fully cured after months of target specified antibiotics, So I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice? Has anyone get fully cured after long term antibiotics. Or is it just temporary which the doc tells me? I would be very appreciated if I got some advice from you.
Also is there any guy out ther that have had improved erection from Elmiron therapy?'
Thanks in advance
