Guest guest Posted June 28, 2000 Report Share Posted June 28, 2000 Hi all, For the last 5 months or so I have horrible baldder spasms when I pee, actually right after. As far as I know I don't have IC. I don't ever have frequency or urgency and can hold it forever. Every now and then I do have some pain with urination if I am not well hydrated. Of course the urine burns my skin too. Does anyone know of anything that can help with the spasms? Since it is only when I have my period I am wondering if it related to my endo. Thanks, Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2000 Report Share Posted June 28, 2000 Hi , Thanks for your reply. But what are you doing for the urethritis, or is that just another thing like vv, no one treatment? Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2000 Report Share Posted June 28, 2000 I can't say for sure but your symptoms sound kind of similar to mine, and I was just diagnosed with urethritis. Being able to hold it, burning or stinging after going, spasms...I have all those too. Maybe you should ask your doctor about it. I wouldn't see why you would just have it during your period though.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2000 Report Share Posted June 28, 2000 I was just diagnosed last Thursday, and I was told by my gyn. the treatment should be a urethral dilation, that it would cure the spasms (although I've only noticed one). I've probably had urethritis for a while, at least 6 months; actually I thought it was just part of the VVS, but the stories of undiagnosed bladder infections and ICs made me go talk to my doctor about it. Some here have said that this treatment is old-fashioned, so I'm seeing a urologist for a second opinion tomorrow. But my discomfort hasn't been bad the past few days, I just got my period, did you say that you noticed less symptoms then too? Weird. I did some research on urethritis and usually they treat it with antibiotics, although for us VVS sufferers that might not be such a good idea. My gyn seemed to think the urethritis and vestibulitis are related, when I saw him I tested positive for yeast and he said diflucan might make the urethritis go away too. I can't tell if it worked or not, the past few days I haven't had hardly any discomfort, but then again maybe because I have my period...?

It causes dry mouth but for me helped to ease spasm about 80% (prescript med). I haven't had to take it now for months. Lately, I have noticed that when there is vv inflammation or a flare taking place in the 12 o'clock area just above the urethra, but below the clitoris, I have pain and resulting spasm after urinating. Applying a barrier ointment, such as A & D cream, helps that problem but I have to apply it very carefully, allowing the warmth from the vulvar skin to " melt " the ointment off of my Q-tip. If I touch the inflammation by hand or with a Q-tip, I have the same burning as the post-urination burn, which then causes spasms. Hope this helps, Healing thoughts, Dory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2000 Report Share Posted July 2, 2000 Hi, Sandi I had the same thing which started after I started taking Guai. I believe you started taking Guai about five months ago and wonder if it could be that. Guai is supposed to make your body eliminate phosphates and also oxalates. However I stopped taking Guai and the pain continued - finally turned into a bladder infection or some other kind of infection which knocked me flat. So get yourself checked out.
