Hyacyst Treatment at Pitshanger Clinic Ealing
Relief for bladder pain and chronic cystitis
Hyacyst treatment is a non-surgical therapy that helps restore and protect the bladder lining in patients with chronic cystitis, bladder pain syndrome (BPS/IC), or recurrent urinary tract infections.
At Pitshanger Clinic, our consultant urologists use Hyacyst to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve bladder function safely and effectively.
This quick, well-tolerated procedure is carried out in a comfortable, private setting with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
What is Hyacyst treatment?
Hyacyst contains hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that helps repair and protect the bladder wall. When the protective bladder lining (the glycosaminoglycan or GAG layer) becomes damaged — often due to infection or inflammation — urine can irritate the bladder tissue, leading to pain, urgency, and frequency.
Instilling Hyacyst directly into the bladder helps rebuild this barrier, reducing sensitivity and supporting long-term healing.
Hyacyst can help with:
- Chronic or recurrent cystitis
- Bladder pain syndrome (interstitial cystitis)
- Overactive bladder symptoms
- Frequent urination or urgency
- Discomfort during urination
- Post-infective bladder irritation

What to expect during your treatment
Before the procedure
You will be asked to empty your bladder. Your consultant will explain the process and answer any questions.
During the treatment
Hyacyst is gently instilled into the bladder through a fine catheter. The procedure usually takes less than 15 minutes and causes minimal discomfort.
After the treatment
You may be asked to retain the solution for 30–60 minutes before voiding.
Most patients can resume normal activities immediately afterwards. Your consultant will advise how often the treatment should be repeated — typically once a week for several weeks, depending on your condition.
