The start looks like for you was the c section,possibly scars built upand adhered to bladdr wals or imagine a cut near your toes that heals tight and pulls if you stretch, same can happen internal the healed cuts for c section possibly have joined near bladder, the hysterectomy again possibly has created more internal scars also did they leave the cervix to support inside or remove as it too can cause all sorts of odd pains. Ok help you are asking for, I dont understand why if yur having continued pain in the bladder urethra area a urologist has not been seen? Id demand to see a urologist just to check this out. Cut out all sugars,processed foods try eating fresh vegies,salads fruits,lots water no caffeine,also look up yuma body rolling, I had enough of weird pain and thinking I had UTI's and read al; about how adhesions from surgery and infection can cause terrible pains.I went and bought a ball and did the tummy rolling on it,be prepared it absolutly hurt like hell but I was desperate,the 2nd time I rolled on it was easier and the 3rd was ok, it somehow does a deep tissue massage and can break up scar tissue and return blood flow it also tones up to tummy.After you do the 5mins rolling you feel like you have done 50 situps.I felt warmth too.It helped me so is worth a try because its for pain and your saying your main issue is pain.Hope you get some relief soon.Maybe go see a naturopath or some other natural type healing to help?
Hi there! The probiotics are still working for me!! There have been a few times I felt the symptoms returning then realized I had forgotten to take the probiotic for a few days. I've decided that if the symptoms ever come back, I will try adding the apple cider vinegar treatment. So far, so good!!!!
I have been blogging on here for the last 7 months. Cut the story short. I had a bad wee infection which lasted for 6 weeks and some anti biotics were not getting rid of it,,, left with a stricture, caused by scaring from the infection and intrusive anti biotics I had the painful operation for the stricture. As I was weeing all the time, I couldn't hold for very long, and when I did go, It was sore after and sometimes during. This was JUNE 2013.... OPERATION SEPTEMBER... the operation was a ucess but it did not cure the soreness of the ureatha. It cured me to hold my wee better, and I stopped going all the time. But from Sept I have battled on with no sex life, watching everything I drank and even eat. It got to the point when I had pepper or a tomato based pasta sauce I noticed it made it sore again. The worst thing for me was sometimes I like a cup of tea before I go to bed, and that caused more soreness in the ureatha track and hole. So I did a few changes, even when my specialist said I did not have IC otherwise I would be in pain and discomfort all the time. I thought maybe I have ureatha syndrome. And Im awaiting further test... However I have had a few good weeks where I feel semi normal... not completely but feeling better with the weeing. No soreness at the moment, if it lasts then I think Im healing...No sex life still but going to the toilet is getting better. One thing I know now which does not work for me!!!! I thought baths used to help me, at the moment I only shower... when I do bath, I am more tempted to but bath stuff in, and sometimes that can irritate me. When ever it was cold outside it would effect the soreness, coldness always makes your bladder feel like it needs to wee. Not good me, so I like to keep warm noticed my vagina and bladder prefers warmth. I tried the cold compass on my wee hole, JESUS that was not good, it made it WORSE. I really would not put anything cold down there. Instead put hot bottle down there!!!! I used to blog about the advice of using savlon cream down below and aqualrious cream. To which I used for 6 months every day or so. I went to see a nurse who also had suffered from wee infections and she said to STOP using anything down below... NO CREAMS AND CERTAINLY NO SAVLON. I stopped using it, and noticed Im having more good days of no soreness what so ever down below,,, its been 2 weeks on every day weeing, drinking lots of wine, teas, coffees, spicy food, tomatoes, lots of sugar and yes that tea in bed at night. NO SORENESS... NOW THIS HAS NOT BEEN LIKE THAT IN MONTHS, I WOULD ONLY HAVE A GOOD DAY IF I STAYED AWAY FROM ALL OF THE ABOVE AND DRANK WATER ONLY ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING. NOW... So I think so far... staying away from anything such as creams has helped, staying less stressed has helped, and taking vitamins every day such as vit c ect I think has helped. Maybe time is healing... our bodies must try and heal itself I really am not sure why I am feeling better... anyway Im going to keep blogging. A WEE INFECTION WENT SO VERY VERY WRONG, ANTI BITOTICS SCARRING ME, OPERATION PAINFUL, BUT NOT FULLY CURED ME, 2 WEEKS OF GOOD DAYS LATELY IM FEELING SOMEWHAT BETTER, I FEELING OF HOPE THAT I AM IMPROVING AND MY BODY IS HEALING.
Megan have you checked your urine for Ureaplasma and mycoplasma?
You used Savlon? thats like an antiseptic cream for cuts and sores gosh no wonder you were hurting down there, also I have to agree not good to put cold and ice down there for these issues, I also notice I am more uncomfortable on cold days then hot. A cream that is safe and you can use is Calendula, its soothing when/if it hurts, its used safely on a baby many women use it if they suffer dryness. I still suggest you drink lots of water and wouldnt advise anyone to drink wine or caffeine drinks or spices when they have issues. As for washing the area, if you have a shower that you can hold in the hand this is best, water only no soaps, body washes even ones claiming they are PH balanced. I have a neice only 5yrs old who has ongoing irritation down there and has had to sit in tubs of vinegar and salt mix, this is very soothing as it is closest to the natural fluids we have there, I know vinegar makes people think OUCH but you be surprised how good a mix of salt and vinegar in warm water is, its also good for after surgery healing.Many women use this if they had stiches down there after giving birth. I still swear by the green string bean water, boil a hand full of green stringbeans, simmer for 10mins, then tip the water into a cup and drink it like soup, you can add a pinch salt if needed its an ancient chinese cure.Sugar can create a very acidic urine which will not be good and also if you use antibiotics and then are eating sugars youll most likely have thrush and thats not fun, a easy thrush remedy that works is 3 drops teatree oil in olive oil, soak this up on a tampon, insert for 1 hour 2 to 3 times a day, within 48hrs no thrush.Good luck and hope your wee problem is finally sorted.
i have exactly the same, sometimes the pain is so bad i cant do anything, sit, walk, stand, i just curl up with heat pads.it aslo seems to have a conection with my stomach and bowl movements. it hurts worse when my bowls are very full, constipated or if i have had dirorhea. ive had scans and they came back normal, im due to go in within the next fe weeks for the camera. i just hope they find something and treat or remove it because im sick of having to cancel things ive planned due to the pain im in, also im trying to start a new relationship, luckily ive known him for many years before we got closer a coupe of months back or that would certainly be a no no as some days the thought of having sex when im already in pain seem more like torture.
Find colostrum, food supplement
I think you need to BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM and after taking it for longest you can heal cracks in the bladder walls and tissues, my pain was also coming straight in the urethra, I tried everything
But I kept learning about immune system and found evenbetternow that sells those supplements that you can purchase in supplies for one month!
First week you will feel relief, just like I did and please keep taking vitamins
If no infections in the body
Than its inflammation that needs to be healed
Inflammation and infection are two different things
Please just let me know did it help you, so I can study more to help more people
Good luck and smile
it will go away
Hi ladies its Kathrine here, thanks for some of the posts, all helps doesn't it, knowing we are all not alone. Ok I blogged that It had been 2 weeks of no pain. Its now 4 weeks, and week 4, Ive been well enough to have a sexual relationship with my partner no pain during or after. But I went for a walk in the cold today and can feel a twinge in the wee hole. Strange. But I defo getting better.
I hope Well I must be, looking back to months of pain, unable to go out of the house. I am feeling better.
A women talked about your immune system. That must be right as I found relief from taking vitamin tablets every morning, If I don't I start to feel low. I am suffering from low mood in the mornings, so vitamins everyday helps this.
For women who are suffering like I did, research on the net about your condition! Dont rely on Gp's. Talk to women who have the same thing, so what I did, was I read all pages of this forum and made a list of the advice and tips, medication ect ect. Some things worked some didnt so its finding out what works for you. VITAMINS IS A BIG THING. It was surprising how I never had myself a medication cupboard, I now have a fully stocked one with lots of different things. IBROPHEN INFLAMMATORY TABLETS WAS THE BIG THING I USED, COUPLED WITH PARACETAMOL.
LOTS OF WATER, AND LIKE THE OTHER LADY SAID NO TEA NO SUGAR. IM OK TO DRINK THAT STUFF NOW BUT 10 MONTHS OF OAIN I COULDNT TOUCH IT ALL.
YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM UP, THIS THEN HEALS YOUR WOUNDS. LOOK FOR MEDICATION THAT BOASTS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM UP. GO FROM THERE.... DO NOT EVEN ATTEMP SEXUAL INTERCOURSE DURING THIS, YOUR DOWN BELOW NEEDS TO HEAL. KEEP AWAY FROM COLDNESS, STAY WRAPPED UP OR IF YOUR LIKE ME, STAY INDOORS. IM COUNTING THE DAYS TILL THE SUMMER COMES, AS I HATE COLD AND SO DOES MY WEE HOLE.
LETS ALL KEEP BLOGGING, AND SUPPORTING ONE ANOTHER THROUGH THIS, AS LADIES THIS FORUM HAS HELPED ME GET THROUGH BAD DAYS OF PAIN, AND DEPRESSION.
EACH AND ONE OF US WILL BE BETTER IT IS JUST A MATTER OF WHEN. THATS ALL!!!!!!

ALSO MAY BE SOMETHING SMALL TO ADD, BUT I FIND IF I EAT ALOT OF WHITE BREAD, IT MAKES ME SORE, THATS ANOTHER THING THIS PAST 4 WEEKS IVE NOT DONE. I STAY AWAY FROM WHITE BREAD, AND TOO MUCH CARBS. TRY THIS TOO. MAYBE THE YEAST IN BREAD PLAYS ON MY BLADDER OR WEE HOLE, NOT SURE IM NO DOCTOR ITS JUST MY BODY SEEMS TO PREFER THIS.
Hi ladies, white bread has lots sugar so this dont help, did anyone ever see the documentary about sugar? they call it white death, basically we need to stick to all things fresh like fruits, vegies salads, and stay away from all fried, take aways, sweets processed things etc.
What I have stumbled on for something else I am trying to treat is that drinking 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in hot water, like a cup of tea, with dinner or lunch and dinner seem to help the baldder problems as I havent had any issues for weeks and that is the only new thing I been doing.
So its cheap and worth a try, I am using it hoping to help settle this acid reflux, it seems to help in general with lots of things and apparently it lowers sugar levels if you drink it before bed, you need the dark cloudy type not the filtered stuff.
Hope somone finds this helps
Same exact symptoms...had a UTI two weeks ago...first I was put on Celexaphin...didn't work, so I got Cipro for 7 days...no more infection, but I have extreme discomfort in my urethra/bladder region. I'm taking probiotics...maybe that will work...
I too have this problem, however mine didn't start until after I took Radiation treatments for rectal cancer. trust me at one time my female parts was like raw hamburger, I had to use a sitz bath just to urninate. once I got better, I found it very difficult to have sex. very painful, irritationit would be so very uncomfortable for a couple of weeks at a time other times a few days..... the dr. said I had uti....well took meds....still not better...I ended up at Cleveland Clinic for some other issues and thought what the heck I will make an appt with the ob/gyn while I am there. she took some biopsy's due to my previous diagnoisis, but she also told me that I had LICHEN SCLEROSIS, said she sees it more in people who have had radiation treatments...on all parts of the body....however, it can be present without radiation treatments....said it is a dermalogical problem. she prescribed me a ointment of Clobestasol Propionate. you can only use it two weeks straight 2 times daily, lay off it for 2 weeks and then use again, but it has help tremedously. I am finally starting to finally get my sex life back....so maybe your problem is dermatological...hey it is worth a try....it has helped me..the ob/gyn told me when I run out of script to go to dermatologist.....just a thought for you all!
Probiotics...the 50 billion kind that come in pill form and are kept in the refrigerator will clear up the problem in a few days.
