Sensitive urethra when touching inside vagina

Hello everyone,

For 4 months now I've been suffering with a problem which I don't quite know how to explain....basically I have feeling that my urethra (the tube, not the exit which I can physically see and touch) is really sensitive.

It gives me the feeling that I need to go to the toilet - not because I feel that my bladder is full, but just because the feeling disappears temporarily if I pee (and then returns shortly after). I even get the sensitive feeling if I close my legs for example or I have to sit up (basically any action which involves contracting the pelvic muscles to move) and I feel it also when I push on my bladder just above the pelvic bone.

The time when I feel it the most however is inside my vagina - only the vagina wall which is in contact with the urethra. Therefore having sex is when the feeling is exaggerated the most. If I have sex or even touch the top of the inside of my vagina, I need to go to toilet to relieve the symptom. Even when I put my menstrual cup in, the sensation arrives immediately for a few seconds. I can also feel this sensitivity when I touch the top of the opening of my vagina (just below the exit of the urethra).

I don't have any other symptoms though - I have seen a gyno to check the vagina and all is normal. My vagina isn't red, or irritated - no unusual discharge or smell. I don't have thrush or BV. My urethra isn't swollen or red either and my urine is completely normal. I have even been tested for a UTI and my results were clear. I wouldn't even describe the feeling as a burning or stinging either (and when I wee it does not burn). The only way I can describe it is to other women - after having sex, half an hour later or so you have a feeling that you need to go and wee - even if you don't really need to/not much comes out. I would describe the sensation as being similar to that.

Has anybody experienced a similar problem at all? Does anyone know if it is a vagina issue or an urethra issue?

I am in my 20's & very active/sporty

Thank you for any help! I don't know what to do

    I can only think of inflamed urethra. Do you recall any event that you hit or hurt that area?

    exactly the same feeling mine started happening after I went to the gynogologist 3 times in one week to treat and infection she would insert a suppository in me. now I FEEL THAT SAME WAY. I'm trying to treat it like a mild UTI and it's bot devastating but definetly annoying. hopefully we fix it.
