Intravesical hyaluronic acid instillation in treating recurrent cystitis in women: preliminar observation
Intravesical instillation of hyaluronic acid repairs the GAG layer on the urothelial surface and prevents therefore bacterial adhesion. EAU Guidelines show that endovesical instillations of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulphate have been used for glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer replenishment in the treatment of interstitial cystitis, overactive bladder, radiation cystitis, and for prevention of rUTI.
