I was diagnosed with Trigonitis in July of 2009 (this year). The urologist that I went to see told me that this is curable. His course of action included antibiotics (Macrobid...but I take the generic Nitrofur) for 4 months, and to also undergo argyrol treatments. ( I have tried googling this and have no luck finding info on it.) From what I understand it is like an antiseptic that starts to heal the inflammed area of the trigone. It's dark in color and kind of resembles motor oil. To do this procedure they use a catheter and insert the argyrol directly into the bladder. You then leave it in there for upto an hour. I was told to do 6 treatments. (once a wk for six's weeks). It is now September and I have finished my treatments. I do not feel cured, but I notice a HUGE difference instead of it bothering me 7 days a week; It bothers me 2 times a week. I have to schedule a follow up appointment in a month to discuss further treatments if needed. I know I have searched the internet countless times trying to find information on this..symptoms...treatments...ect. So that I could compare them to my own, but always come up with nothing. My symptoms include the feelings of a bladder infection. I feel like I have to go pee but very little comes out, but the main symptom is Urethral burning. Not only does it burn while I am peeing, it continues to burn for hours afterwards. I feel like this treatment method has help me considerably, and so if this information can help someone get relief I am glad to post this. Consider asking your urologist about argyrol treatments, and I will keep you all posted and let you know how things turn out.
