Hunner’s ulcers, sometimes referred to as Hunner lesions, are a distinct and painful manifestation found in a subset of people diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis (IC), also known as Painful Bladder Syndrome. These lesions appear as red, inflamed patches on the bladder wall and can cause bleeding, scarring, and intense discomfort. Unlike other forms of bladder inflammation, Hunner’s ulcers in the bladder are visible during cystoscopy and are present in about 10% of individuals with IC. They represent a more severe form of the condition and are often associated with persistent pain, urinary urgency, and reduced bladder capacity. Healthy Life Harvest understands just how life-altering this condition can be—and that’s why we created ICAloe, a specialized aloe vera supplement developed by Jill Wood, who has lived with IC since 1992.
The presence of Hunner’s ulcers – Interstitial Cystitis’s most identifiable lesions – can lead to a variety of symptoms, including:
These symptoms tend to fluctuate in intensity, often worsening during flare-ups and improving temporarily with treatment or lifestyle adjustments.
Interstitial Cystitis with Hunner’s ulcers is often considered a distinct clinical subtype of IC. While the exact cause of IC remains unknown, research suggests it may involve a combination of bladder lining dysfunction, autoimmune responses, inflammation, and nerve hypersensitivity. Hunner’s ulcers in the bladder are not ulcers in the traditional sense. They’re actually areas of inflammation that bleed easily and may become fibrotic over time, further reducing bladder elasticity. Individuals with this form of IC tend to have more severe and chronic symptoms. Healthy Life Harvest has dedicated over 30 years to supporting those living with Interstitial Cystitis. We believe in a holistic, gentle, and science-backed approach to bladder health, and our ICAloe supplement is the result of that mission.
Currently, there is no definitive Hunner’s ulcers treatment, but several approaches aim to relieve symptoms: Bladder Instillations: Medications are inserted directly into the bladder to soothe inflammation. Surgical Resection or Fulguration: Cauterizing or removing Hunner’s lesions to reduce pain and inflammation. Oral Medications: Antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants, or pentosan polysulfate (PPS) may help reduce symptoms. Dietary Adjustments: Avoiding common IC triggers such as caffeine, citrus, alcohol, and spicy foods. Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy: Targeting underlying muscular dysfunction that may aggravate symptoms. One of the most natural and gentle options available today is ICAloe, our proprietary aloe vera supplement. Developed from a specialized species of aloe, ICAloe is formulated to be soothing to the bladder lining and support the body’s healing response to inflammation. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, over 87% of participants experienced symptom relief with ICAloe, making it one of the most trusted natural remedies for bladder health.
