Bladder disorder. Interstitial cystitis
Description
Often mistaken for less debilitating problems, interstitial cystitis is a serious and painful disease of the bladder lining that, if not properly treated, can ruin a patient's life. This program explores the challenge that IC presents to physicians-specifically, the difficulties of diagnosing it-and features therapies and support organizations that have greatly reduced, and may one day eliminate, the agony of IC. Dr. Lowell Parson, a UCSD professor of surgery and urology, explains a new catheter-delivered treatment that can heal the bladder's lining, while Dr. Vicki Ratner, founder of the Interstitial Cystitis Association, describes how she spearheaded research into the disease.
