Smith Urology Institute

Post by gmccormack »

I got the below list of "novel" therapies from the Smith Urology Blog, a bit interesting.

Interesting the mention of Cannabinoids aka marijuana as a treatment, I had a uro once tell me I should try it. I never have, and reading posts here it apparently makes chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome worse. Think this list puts everything up on the table I've seen in boards and my own research.

*Novel and evolving approaches to the treatment of pelvic pain
The role of…
  • Cannabanoids
  • Liposomes
  • Nerve Growth Factor Immunoglobulin (Tanezumab)
  • Physical Therapy
  • Posterior tibial nerve stimulation
  • Trigger point injections
  • Botulinum toxin injections
  • New bladder instillations
  • Medications that can be administered through the vagina or rectum - not sure what medicines their referring to here, maybe for females only?
  • Neuromodulation
  • Interferential transcutaneous nerve stimulation (iTENS)
  • Diet changes

Hmm, this is interesting. I also wonder about the rectal medications. Think they're talking about suppositories of some kind?
