I am a 25 year old female who is suffering from all the symptoms of a urinary tract infection without an infection.
I have a burning sensation on passing urine
Needing to pass urine frequently
Having the sensation of needing to pass urine frequently but unable to do so
In order to pass urine I have the squeeze and clench my pelvic muscles
Pain and pressure after urination with the sensation that I need to urinate again
Painful Intercourse
I also have to get up to void several times during the night
In the year of 2008 I have seen several urologists and urogynecologists (45 appoints with 13 different doctors). The day before yesterday my urine culture came back negative. I had a pelvic CatScan which came back normal. My cystoscope and ultrasound were normal. I am currently taking Detrol for overactive bladder, however I do not feel a difference with this medication. My gynecologist had my draw blood for a PCOS blood panel and it came back normal expect for elevated levels of testosterone. I am scheduled to see an endocrinologist next month.
No one has diagnosed me with overactive bladder or Interstitial Cystitis / Painful Bladder Syndrome. Intercourse is also very painful, it seems to only exacerbate my condition.
I have been suffering from pain, pressure and frequency for almost 2 years. I would like help in treating my unknown condition so I can live a normal life again.
Things I have tried: acupuncture, polarity therapy, affirmations, Young Living Essential Oils, massage, D-Mannose, Cranberry Juice (no added sugar), supplements, probiotics, Prosed, Pyridium, daily exercise, botanical tinctures and food elimination diets (no caffeine, no sugar, no gluten, no processed foods and no meat.) I have fasted and done a sea salt cleanse.
If anyone has any ideas on a diagnosis please be kind enough to share them with me. Thank you.
