Pain after urination, not a UTI or STI

I'm guessing since you're having to wait a year to get in to see a gynecologist that you live in the UK. And I'm guessing that you are not a private pay individual which I've heard is kind of expensive. I would take your doctor up on those pills because I've been on them myself for the urgency and they do help with the urgency very well so you'll get rid of that feeling and they also will slow down your need to urinate so at least you will not get the burning as often. I quit taking them because I felt it difficult to get my urine started going when I had to go. Not that I couldn't go eventually I just got frustrated with the length of time it took me to start going. And my urgency was not a really bad problem. In fact now that I've been off of it for a while I only get the sensation once every couple of weeks and it only lasts for a few hours. I just didn't feel it was worth taking the pills for in my case but I think you would feel so much better if you did. I wish you could get in to see a gynecologist a little sooner than a year that just seems horribly horribly long time but that is how your health system works unfortunately. If there's anything you can do to change that I would say do it. Would it help to go to the A&E. I think that's what you call your emergency room. It's something to consider.

As for the uti what does the dr say, your urin is cloudy but failed to grow anything?  As for the over active bladder I had that, lasted months would have to get out of bed ro pee three, four times a night.  I even had blood in my urin so was sent to a urolagyst. 

Had urin test, after urin test, cystascopy, not painful br the way, then he did a cat scan called a uragram, includes kidney, tubes bladder ect.. All good.  So fantastic he put me on the over active bladder pills they did nothing.  So instead of decreasing my ware intake I increased it to two and a half L.  In the morning I add 1/8 th of a teaspoon of Celtic salt or Himalayan and the same amount of potasium salt ( called no salt, same section as salt).  I drink one glass in the morning and one at night.  It's just homemade electralite it's just missing the sugar.  Anyway long story short it took a few weeks but it stopped.  As for the uti,s try not to get antibiotics till they grow a culture.  You may also have to use condoms, I know ugh what a pain.  Also make sure you empty your bladder completely.  Good luck.  Also have they tested you for cysts in your uterus?

I'm sorry you are dealing with this. I've been managing an OAB for over three years. The worst symptom in the beginning was a constant, unending urge to pee even immediately after emptying my bladder. I got severely depressed because I couldn't leave my house or properly take care of my children because all I was doing was going to the bathroom nonstop. So, I have been on oxybutynin, an OAB med, in the past and it worked wonderfully for me to decrease urgency and frequency. However, pain is not typical of an OAB. You may want to look into Interstitial Cystitis while you are waiting to get in to see your doctor. It is a chronic condition usually characterized by pain, urgency and frequency in the absence of any infection. It's more common in women and can affect women of all ages. If I were you I would go on a very alkaline diet (google IC diet for suggestions of what to eat), consider medication to decrease your frequency and urgency and research more natural supplements like marshmallow root and pumpkin seed extract. Once you see your specialist he can run more tests to pinpoint further what may be wrong and then you'll probably have more options. Good luck to you!

I had all this exactly in the 1980s when the NHS was on the ball.  After many many tests including a systogram I think it was called but not necessarily spelt that way!! I was diagnosed with a REFLUX KIDNEY.  I had an operation to close off the extra tube in my kidney and absolutely no problems since.  Perhaps you could read up a bit more on it, and if you think it could be you, go to the dr and say thats what you think it could be, that will hopefully mean you dont have to wait a year!!.  You could phone a local private hospital, they will give you a price, it could be worth it to pay at least for an initial consultation.  Once you have a proper diagnosis it may be serious enough for you to be transferred back to nhs for the treatment.  Hope its of some help.  I feel for you.

Hi all I've been suffering with this for 8 years now. It used to be on and off so I could deal with it but since January it's been constant. My bladder just feels full 24/7, it's a constant pressure on my bladder/cervix. Really been getting me down. I've had tests, scans and urethra dilation nothing has worked they are now going to try and treat my for IC just praying there will be some improvement otherwise I really don't know what I would do. I'm in the uk and was so hard to get appointments in the end if got so bad that I called an ambulance last October because I was on the floor in bits and the worry and anxiety took over so I was being sick too, from that day they have done all tests and took a bit more notice of me. I hope ur symptoms ease for u. Does it sound simular to mine? It's not a pain just constant deep pressure all the time, even straight after a wee.
