Ep 45. The Role of Hormones in Interstitial Cystitis

Last week, Callie talked with Dr. Theoharis Theoharides about mast cells and histamine and their roles in interstitial cystitis. This week, Callie and Dr. Theoharides continue the discussion with some tips on how to investigate your personal sensitivities. Dr. Theoharides also talks through the role of hormones, specifically estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, in IC. Levels of these hormones can vary greatly depending on a person’s age, medications, and other medical conditions. Callie and Dr. Theoharides talk through how and why hormone levels change and how these changes can appear in IC symptoms. Listen to the end of the episode for some tips on how to approach doctors with concerns about hormone imbalance and IC!
