My problem started 3 months ago with what I thought was a UTI. Dr gave me two lots of antibiotics but no joy. I had a stabbing pain/twitching in my urethra and pain after sex. I went to a specialist who diagnosed a suburethral / skenes gland cyst. She gave me a stronger antibiotic but it wouldn't go down so I went in for surgery and cystoscopy two weeks ago. I was told the cyst was removed succesfully, but I still have stabbing pain in urethra especially when sitting or lying down. I made the mistake if getting slightly 'excited last weekend (no penetration of any kind) and had shooting pains from front to back-agony. My dr now says healing can take up to 6 weeks and prescribed amitryptaline for four weeks for the nerve pain, which I am worried about taking as it is an antidepressant. The pain isnt that bad as long as i try not to irritate it, but I am more worried about how this will affect my ability to get aroused/have sex in future. Has anyone else any experience of this? I feel as if I will never be normal again.
