She wrote “These inexpensive self-adhesive patches can be a lifesaver! They work fairly quickly, within twenty minutes or so, to provide relief of pain that can last up to four or five hours." She suggests using them before sleep to help improve your sleep quality and also for the low back pain commonly experienced by IC patients. Tiger Balm Patches are a flexible pain relieving patch whose ingredients penetrate the skin and are absorbed, stimulating blood circulation around the area of pain. Not messy or greasy and will provide fast pain relief for hours.

There are alternatives that can help. Do you TENGA? This new intimacy aid works well for those moments when intercourse is too painful. Similarly, Liberator furniture wedges can introduce some fun while taking tension off of the lower back or pelvic floor. Pyrex glass wands can be gently warmed or cooled to help with pelvic floor tension or spasms. Find these and more directly on our website at: www.icnsales.com. Look in the “Romance & Intimacy” Category. IC Factoid: Discomfort with sex is often associated with very tight pelvic floor muscles. For men with IC, the worst pain often occurs at the moment of ejaculation. For women, it’s usually the day afterward. Muscle relaxing strategies (i.e. heat, muscle relaxants, etc.) can help. Check the ICN Sexuality & Intimacy Resource Center for tips and strategies. www.icnsales.com - Prices subject to change throughout the year About Us The Interstitial Cystitis Network is a health education and social advocacy company dedicated to interstitial cystitis and other pelvic pain disorders.

Interstitial cystitis (IC), also known as painful bladder syndrome, bladder pain syndrome or hypersensitive bladder syndrome, is a condition that results in recurring discomfort or pain in the bladder and the surrounding pelvic region. The symptoms can vary greatly between individuals and even for the same person throughout the month, including an urgent need to urinate (urgency), a frequent need to urinate (frequency) and, for some, pressure and/or pelvic pain. People with severe cases of IC/BPS may urinate as many as 60 times a day, including frequent nighttime urination (nocturia). Pain levels can range from mild tenderness to intense, agonizing pain. Pain typically worsens as the bladder fills and is then relieved after urination. Pain may also radiate to the lower back, upper legs, vulva and penis. Women’s symptoms may fluctuate with their menstrual cycle, often flaring during ovulation and/or just before their periods. Men and women may experience discomfort during or after sexual relations. IC affects patients of all ages, races and cultures. It is found on every continent in the world. Though it was previously thought to be a disease affecting mostly women, new studies suggest that men suffering from chronic non-bacterial prostatitis may also have IC, thus dramatically expanding the population data. It is not unusual for IC to run in families, nor for patients to struggle with a syndrome of related conditions including: IBS, anxiety disorder, vulvodynia, pelvic floor dysfunction, allergies, migraines and fibromyalgia. There are many treatments and self-help strategies now available that can help improve bladder symptoms dramatically. One excellent place to gather information is on the IC Network website (http://www.ic-network.com), where you can read extensive articles on IC as well as participate in our support forum and chats. We believe in you! You are not alone!
