Cystitis…is this normal?
Hey everyone,
I’m literally at my wits end. For the past year I have been suffering with what I thought was cystitis commonly known as a bladder infection. The symptoms I experience are sore, aching bladder, sometimes back pain, pain during urination (not burning, but rather aching), frantic need to urinate frequently and then when I do, it’s often only a few drops. Also, I find it difficult to urinate eg: I feel like I need to go but when I get to the toilet, I literally have to contract my bladder and only then the urine comes out. I’ve been to the doctor on several occasions for urine sample testing and on both occasions the samples have come back clear for cystitis!!! But having said this, the first time when I went to the doctor in pain with my bladder, she gave me anti-biotics which really helped – then the test results came back clear.
I really feel like I’m at my wits end! I can’t go on like this as it is affecting my sex life and also I’ve had to take days off work because it’s just too embarassing to keep rushing to the loo every ten minutes. I suffer with this at least twice a month and drink cranberry juice every day and also water. I do not hold it until I’m busting to go but surely something is wrong! Surely this is not normal! Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
I was like this when I was 19. I had cystitis for years and endless antibiotics. After 2 attacks of Renal colic I was finally taken into hospital . Under anaesthetic they found that I had a tight end to my bladder so that it never fully emptied. They washed it out and stretched the entrance. That was over 40 years ago and I have been fine since. What I will say is that Doctors do not take this seriously and keep fobbing ladies off. If you have a Lady Doctor speak to her and ask for further investigations at a Gyny unit. Its your body be firm, you should not have to suffer like this.
Good Luck.
Good possibility you have an overgrowth of candida – I see this all the time. When you go to bed take a glass of water with you – in the morning before eating or drinking spit on the top of the water. If anything develops such as "legs" or a "cyclone" underneath, waht looks like pieces of thread dangling down, a cloudy pool in the bottom or if all the water goes cloudy then you have a candida overgrowth. It can be gricky to get rid of and there’s lots of rubbish information on the net (like people claiming to be able to cure it in 10 hours – they can’t). If you would like help with diet etc and some suggestions on supplements then e-mail me. I have at least a dozen clients at present who have been experiencing UTIs – one of them for nine years and after only two weeks on the diet and supplements they already look and feel like a different person.

hiya, what your going through is exactly what i went through for 3 years, in the end i asked for a referal to the hospital, turns out when i emtpty my bladder not all the urine manages to leave and some goes back in causing the symptoms you describe, ask for this test, the give you this dye to drink then follow where it goes when you wee, turns out it corrected itself when i had my son, i had a tilted womb which was pressing against it and causing the problem, ask for a referal, hopefully things will get better soon
