Sensitive urethra when touching inside vagina
Posted , 4 users are following.
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

catherine, I'm afraid I can't help, but if it were me and doctors aren't offering any help , I would see an herbalist or an acupuncturist who deals with Chinese medicines. Maybe they can suggest a tea that would at least decrease the sensation. As the tea would be exiting via the urethra it would have direct contact with the problem.
Good luck and let us know how you make out with whatever you try.

You have described my symptoms. I am convinced it's nerve and or muscular issues in the pelvic floor. I keep my symptoms under control with stretching, walking, anything that keeps my lower back relaxed. I do use estrace, accupuncture, and started zyrtec and zantac. Triggers are sitting and having a bowel movement. I hope you find some relief.
