bladder issues - ic? please help!
I am a 26 year old female - no prior health issues.One month ago I engaged in unprotected sex. As a result I developed a uti- the only one I've ever had. Treated symtpoms with 1 week antibitotics. Symtpoms persisted - 2 more weeks of antibiotics (was sure to take priobiotics during this time) and my symptoms are still here. Cultures show the infection is gone but my awful symptoms of urgency, bloat, peliv discomfort & urethera burning remain. I void 20+ times a day and constantly feel the 'urge.' Had a pelvic exam, chlamydia/gohnerra screen - everything normal.
I have an appointment with a urologist but would prefer the homeopathic route. If anyone can please help take me out of this awful miserly I will be forever greatful. I feel like my life is ruined and I'll get the awful news that this is interstitial cystitis a life long un cureable condition. Thank you!

You may take CANTHARIS 30C each dose 6 hours apart for two days maximum. In case, after a couple of doses, your symptoms get better or worse, stop dosing immediately.Allow the conditions to stabilize.
One dose would be 3 drops or 3 pills dissolved in 10 ml of water slowly sipped up in clean mouth and empty stomach. No food or water one hour before or after the dose.

Thank you for your kind response.
I have ordered the cantharis and expect to start next week.
Do you have an alternative remedy if cantharis is unsuccessful?
My biggest issue is constantly having a 'full bladder' and having to urinate constantly. Have you seen this condition clear up with other patients?
In your option will I be able to consume alcohol again, or must I avoid forever?
Thank you again

Don't worry...you will be fine and will be able to have alcohol.
Cantharis is indicated. I am hopeful it will work with the stated modalities. If not, we will try your constitutional remedy.
