    are instillations bad for intercourse?

    Hello everyone, I am a newbie in these discussion boards. Got diagnosed with IC in dec. and started Elmiron at the beginning of Feb. I decided also to give a try to the DSMO, thinking that more approaches combined would increase my chances of getting better. During and after the application I felt quite sore for about one hour, and then the soreness became more of a discomfort. The next morning I felt pretty good and, being Valentine's day, I had intercourse. Well, I had one of the worst pains I have ever experienced, and felt sore all day. Worse than my typical IC pain in those circumstances. Is it a normal reaction after the instillation?
    I have to say that the next day I felt pretty good and also had some spicy foods, so I do think the DSMO helped. I am just trying to figure out if I have to give up on intercourse during the treatment.Sorry for posting such a long message!

          My bladder's behavior is VERY strange and unpredictable after DMSO. I think to be on the safe side, it is a good idea to treat it very gently even if you feel pretty good after a treatment.

              I noticed you mentioned that after the DMSO treatments your pain during intercourse subsided do you think that was because of the treatments or of other methods. I have had six injections and my doctor said I could go in for more but I dont know if I should spend money on it if its not really the right thing to do for pain during sex. I also try hard to remember to take the elmiron but I have the worse time remembering...does that really have success?-Briar Rose
