    DMSO while Nursing?

    I am scheduled to have a Cystoscopy, Hydro, and first DMSO treatment during surgery in a couple weeks. My Urologist suspects that I have IC, but is doing the surgery to further diagnose. If they do diagnose me with IC, then I will be heading back to the office weekly for 5 more DMSO Installations. The DMSO Installations that he does are also combined with Heparin and something else (I don't have the info with me right now at work).

    I have a 9 month old and am still nursing. My Urologist and the nurse were not sure if DMSO/Heparin/etc. were okay while nursing, so they were going to research for me. But, just wanted to check on here and see if anyone knows whether or not it is ok to continue to nurse with DMSO/Heparin???

    Thanks!

      I googled DMSO and nursing, and on Babycenter, one of the doctor's said it was fine. I don't know how CREDIBLE a doctor on Babycenter would be though, so of course defer to your own doctor.

      I THEN found on a cancer website (I didn't know they used DMSO for cancer!) that you SHOULD NOT use it while nursing.

      So... see what your doctor says. LOL. Sorry I wasn't more help.
      Symtoms started July 2010.

          I suggest you call your pediatrician and ask. One thing you might ask about is using a breast pump for a day or two after an instillation, discarding the milk, but your baby's doctor is your best resource for an answer.
