Abstract
Dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO) was used in 17 patients with interstitial cystitis. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical and laboratory findings and the characteristic picture with Hunner ulcera. The majority of the patients had responded poorly to other forms of conservative treatment. Subjective symptoms were controlled in 2/3 of the cases but repeated treatment was needed and 5 patients did not respond to the therapy. The DMSO treatment is an alternative worth to try and has in some cases a dramatic and lasting effect.Keywords
