What is hunners ulcers?

Hunner's ulcer, also known as interstitial cystitis, is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation and irritation of the bladder lining (mucosa). While the exact cause of Hunner's ulcer is still not fully understood, researchers theorize that it may be related to autoimmune disorders, genetic factors, or nerve damage.

Symptoms of Hunner's ulcer include frequent or painful urination, pelvic pain, discomfort during sexual intercourse, and pressure or tenderness in the pelvic region. The severity of symptoms can vary between individuals, and may flare up or go into remission over time.

While there is no cure for Hunner's ulcer, treatment options may include medications to manage symptoms such as pain and inflammation, bladder training techniques to help reduce frequency of urination, and physical therapy to address pelvic floor dysfunction. In severe cases, surgical interventions may also be considered. Successful management of the condition may require a combination of these treatments and other lifestyle changes, such as dietary modifications and stress management techniques.
