I’m at my wits end with an ongoing issue with my urethra and I wonder if anyone has had a similar experience?
Around 2 weeks postpartum I started to feel some pain in my urethra, partially after I had finished peeing and then some throbbing at night. I also had some blood and discharge and after visiting the doctor who told me I had an infection I started a round of antibiotics. I had a vaginal birth and a catheter as I had to be cut slightly to help baby out, but all my stiches have healed perfectly.
After the 1st round of antibiotics, I was still getting the pain so I went back and was put on a new antibiotic. After 5 days I was still
in pain and feeling run down / hot and unwell, so my doctor told me to come off the antibiotic for 3 days do a urine sample and she would send it off to be tested.
In that time I felt so unwell and the pain was really bad after each pee, so when I went back with the urine sample they told me to continue with the previous antibiotic until
my test results came back. She also tested my urine again and said that there were now no white blood cells in the urine and only
protein so it appears to have got better…
The only problem is it doesn’t feel better. The pain is so bad after I pee and I feel really worried it’s never gonna get resolved / go away and that the GP isn’t taking me seriously.
Has anyone experienced anything similar
Postpartum? I literally have no
other uti symptoms apart from pain after peeing.
