Flare up of bladder

thank you.  Yes Doc rules out UTI and yes I avoid acidic too but as said did have a few glasses of wine.  I am not sure if I could have Oxybutinin and mirabegron together as are they not both beta blockers? Someone else suggested anti biotics as it can be bacteria in the bladder.  I just wish it would go and I certainly will NEVER drink alcohol again.

Hi margaret 

i would be seeing the doctor again ..

not nice to suffer with this ...

but if youve been and they said no UTI .. Not sure what to say.

they normally do a quick test with a test stick if you have a sample or ask you to pop to loo so doctor can pop a test dip urine stick in it, then they send the sample to lab aswell .. ( well did me several times when i was in UK)

i had to see a specialist, and have a cystoscopy alsorts and it turned out to be the carton orange i was drinking on occasion, and menopause etc .

i dont know about mirabregron, i never heard of it ..

oxybutynin was given to me by the doctor for the discomfort and muscle spasm and constant urge, that also occured due to menopause and hormone decline .. I kept thinking it was UTI or Cystitis and when he checked etc it wasnt, it was sensitive menopause hormonal bladder ..

' Spasms ' 

your doctor would of picked up if it was bacteria on the dip stick test..

hope you feel better soon 😥

Bacteria would be a UTI margaret 

go back to doctor .. They may give you some Keflex or similiar if it is 

good luck

I see Mirabegron is for overactive bladder 

so maybe similar to oxybutynin then .. ( relaxes muscles )

I am pretty sure like you it is linked to the menopause as it all ocurred at the same time and got worse for me when I entered full meno.  It is obvously the alcohol so need to steer clear.  Mirabegron is a new drug that relaxes the bladder and has worked very well for me alongside HRT.  I will give it a few more days and if it does not improve I will go to Doc although I am not sure what they can do as I am on the newest and most effective drug out there for this.  Just have to be patient and relax I suppose as it worked before so with the recent cause taken away it should go.  Thank you again for your reply.XX

Hi margaret 

yes i remember your like me, use vaginal HRT for discomfort.

i been using estriol Ovestinon ovules since sept, via gyno for dryness and also the urethra dryness .. Its helped no end..

i only use one ovule a week ( i halve them ) use twice a week and in between i use a premeno duo ( non hormonal ) ovule ( half of one or twice a week) its worked wonders for me .

gyno suggested the estriol cream too and said always put a little bit on outer bits, especially skin around vag entrance as that gets thin and painful too.

its worked so well for me.. Cant take normal HRT but i was prepared to try this only as couldnt bare it anymore ..

i have full well woman check annually with my Gyno so well monitored annually ( smears, 3D breast scan, Transvaginal Scan, Colposcopy etc) 

Dont suffer Margaret get it sorted as if it was a uti it will get worse ..

cranberry juice or cranberry tablets may help .

I used to use the cream but don't did not need to as it was sorted with HRT.  It is not a UTI but they are sending the sample away to double check.  I just don't know what to do!!!  The HRT should sort, well it has sorted the dryness!!  Could not use the ovules wither as on HRT but could use the cream.  I will return to the Docs if it does not settle...can't stand this!!!!  My anxiety is just raging...I could honestly just got to bed and cry and never get up!!!!
