Therapeutic Potential of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Against Painful Bladder Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis.

摘要: Painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis is a debilitating chronic disease that primarily affects women. The due to damage of urothelial cell lining. As result, potassium particles and other toxic substances in urine can leak into mucosa, causing the symptoms lower abdominal/pelvic discomfort, pain, increased urination frequency, urgency, nocturia, so on, all which substantially reduce quality daily life. There are multiple symptom reliving therapies. Among them, only pentosan polysulfate sodium, sold under brand name Elmiron, has been approved for oral use by US Food Drug Administration. It provides relief after several months use. Based on scientific leads presented this article, we propose human chorionic gonadotropin therapeutic potential worth investigating treatment disease.
