I went on a diet, took out anything acidic that I could. Found an extensive list online. I flared for 6 months, didn't know what was wrong until a doctor diagnosed it. But anyway back to the diet... I took out all acidic things that I could. No coffee, tea, or citrus. (check labels, lots of citric acid in things) DO NOT TAKE vitamin C as a vitamin, because that will shove you into a bad flare! Then I mixed my diet with anti inflammatory food items that weren't acidic. Even if I didn't like it, I ate it, because it helped. Also, I found other natural sources of vitamin C that weren't acidic, like fresh spinach, broccoli, ect. Best thing you can do is find an extensive list on acidic foods, and try and take stuff out of your diet. Heal your own body the best you can, is what i can say. YES the diet can be bland, BUT, I took myself out of flares with just that and no pain meds specifically for IC patients! Goodluck!

Hello, did you ever figure out what was going on? This happens to me too and only water helps. I had it for 10 years and went to dr after dr and nobody ever figured it out. It's luckily been mostly good until recently and now I'm going to go see a pelvic floor therapist, as I'm thinking maybe it's pelvic floor disfunction/spasms.

Hello, did the specialist at the U of Kentucky find anything out? I have had issues similar to yours for years and have recently flared up again with no answers. I'm going to try pelvic floor therapy, thinking it's possibly pelvic floor disfunction/spasms.

I am fifteen and have had this problem consistently my whole life. Like for real, since I was a toddler. My urine isn’t any unusual color. It just burns my vagina like hell after I pee for up to thirty minutes after. It is excruciating for me and no one can help me. I go to the doctor and they just keep having me take UTI tests and nothing comes back. Then they tell me to just drink more water. In order for my pee not to burn, I have to drink like three bottles of water in five hours. My body requires an abnormal amount of water for my body not to undergo pain when I urinate. I don’t know what’s wrong with me and it seems like doctors don’t know what the hell this is either, because from what little I’ve been able to find online about this symptom, no one can find any help. I’m the only person I’ve found who’s case has existed their whole life. I just feel hopeless.

Hi guest, is it actually your whole vagina that burns or just your labia area or urethra?
There are a few things you can try to ease the pain once you find out where it's originating from.

I have had this problem for a while. I went to the doctor. She saidbthat it was because i was sweating a lot because i wear tight pants all the time. She said i should start wearing cotton panties and using a feminine wash every time i take a shower. Both have helped A LOT! Now the only time i get the burning feeling is if i dont wear any panties under my pants. Hope this helps!
