Talk to your doctor to find out if DMSO can help relieve the symptoms of your interstitial cystitis. If so, schedule an appointment to receive the treatment from your doctor. Over the course of several weeks, your doctor will flush liquid DMSO through a catheter into your bladder. The liquid is absorbed into the bladder lining and can reduce pain. Another benefit of DMSO is that it can increase the absorption of other medications, including steroids. Some people experience pain or discomfort when the catheter is inserted. If you are concerned about this pain, speak to your doctor about receiving pain medication or the possibility of inserting DMSO through a syringe, rather than a catheter. DMSO can reduce inflammation and pain and help relax the bladder and pelvis muscles. It may even break down scar tissue, which can increase your bladder capacity. Relief may be immediate, or it may take several treatments until you begin to feel relief from your symptoms.
