Is alcohol a factor with AV? If not, which is good and what's bad?

Posted , 3 users are following.

I love my wine in the evening...just a glass or two.

It relaxes me as I'm a very anxious person. I know with Painful Bladder Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis its usually a no-no but then ts kind of a trial and error situation. Do it at your own risk.

Thanks for any advice.

    ro, I can't imagine a glass or two would do you any harm. Stress would be more problematic, I would imagine. But if you have AV that is causing problems hormone cream is the treatment. I avoided it and it lead to more serious issues. Hindsight is 20/20.
