Herpes causes interstitial cystitis/bladder pain

[sepreh]

It has come to my knowledge, the reason why no doctor or lab can figure out what cause interstitial cystitis is because it comes from herpes, now everyone knows Interstitial cystitis is the outcome.
Find a cure for herpes and we will have a cure for IC.

The cure is in your ph balance.
For some relief.
Try:
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in a cup and fill it up with warm warter. baking soda needs to dissolve.
I am not a doctor. Please check with your doctor about the side effects of baking soda if theres any.
please do not overdose on baking soda.
Doctotors, have you ever consider thats the reason why ?????????????

Hahaha, well that may be the case with you, but not everyone has herpes that has IC!

[jojo5186]

yea, I agree with Hayley723.  Not everyone who has IC has herpes.

I agree with you that herpes could be a cause for IC; there are probably others. But the case known to me is caused by herpes, I'm absolutely sure. Could you PLEASE tell what it was that came to your knowlege about it? Desperate to find help and herpes is a hard thing to deal with.  Thank you.

I am trying to find out more information about this myself. I was diagnosed with Herpes 2 about 6 years ago and it was that same month that my IC started. I've always been convinced that the two were connected, even though I never really had any outbreaks with the Herpes. The funny thing about Herpes(or maybe not so funny) is that many people have it and never know because they do not have outbreaks. I had a doctor tell me that about 90% of my generation (late-20's now) will acquire this diesease at some point. If you look up the statistics its staggering. That being said, it doesn't mean that Herpes 2 is the only virus that could cause IC, perhaps it is an unknown, you really need a sleuth sometimes....

Well, if doctors are unsure what the cause of I.C is then i'm sure you yourself without any medical knowledge can NOT say what the cause of I.C is either ? I have had I.C since the age of 5 years old, Herpes is either a virus which gives you cold sores and makes you run down, or an S.T.I, to what i understand anyway ? I've never had cold sores and I can tell you for sure i know i didnt get an S.T.I at the age of 5. It's people like you that make people with a health problem (To no fault of there own, may i add) less able to look for help and understanding, this is a disease, it effects the bladder wall, it becomes inflamed due to many infections. it's something we all as I.C sufferers will have to deal with, so if seeing other peoples NICE comments helps us a little get on with are illness and manage are day to day life a little easier. "Thank you" to everyone for your helpful comments, it's nice to know i'm not alone. And for people with the silly nasty comments "i think" you need to read more information before going onto a site that deals with patient comments looking for help off of (helpful people with the same problems, and doctors who are looking to help answer are questions) not be slandered
