i have the following symtoms, which 6 different doctors and specialists have so far not been able to cure, much less diagnose. 1) constant discomfort like i have a uti, but tests show i don't. 2)frequent urination, sometimes up to 20 times in 24 hours. 3) have to push to completely empty the bladder. one doctor said get a hysterectomy and bladder tuck (i have uterine prolapse and a cystocele), but a second doctor said no surgery, my symptoms didn't indicate i should have surgery. i've had bladder hydroextension which has ruled out cystitis. also, no yeast infection. anyone else have these symptoms? what is this…anyone know? what tests, if any should i have next? would an mri be called for? i have been taking detrol la for over a month, and using premarin every other day….so far, not effective. would appreciate any help or suggestions…thanks.
The cystocele is likely what is causing you to urinate so frequently. Ask most women, as they get older they urinate more frequently. STOP pushing when you void-your bladder or uterus could fall out! This is no joke, it happens, and all that pushing is making it worse. Just void normally, no pushing. Stop drinking fluids a few hours before bed time. They use to do surgery at the first sign of a cystocele, but now they dont feel it should be done. (probably the drug companies had something to do with that decision). Try a second opinion, and research your problem.

There are so many things this could be. I advise you to get another opinion. Maybe you need to get some more tests done. I would not stop until I got answers.

travel to Johns Hopkins on the east coast…in Baltimore. or a Hospital known for being high tech. If you are going to so many doctors odds are that there is a mis communication somewhere. Whenever I realize that my second opinion completely differs from the first..I get a third!
I would go to a doctor who is more proactive and less likely to shove pills down your throat. why in the hell are you on medication for a bladder condition if the doctors havent DIAGNOSED you yet? That is like someone taking insulin because their blood sugar is found to be at abnormal levels. there may be an underlying issue that needs to be taken care of.
all medicines have positive and negative effects on your body
get a diagnosis before you start cramming drugs down your throat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

It's clearly Stones! Have you been to a urologist? Do you get discomfort in your lower back (left or right sides)? Does it come and go? Basically the pain feels like labor pains!
Good Luck

Only suggestion is to keep having tests done. And if nothing is found then maybe it's time to change doctors. B/c something IS wrong and I had to change doctors to have my disease found. I have PCOS. I AM NOT saying you have this but just making a point. Don't give up. You don't want it to get worse. Take care of your body. Good luck hun.

sounds like the uterine prolapse is causing the problem. I had the same thing with mine. Ended up with a hysterectomy and all is well.
