Hi (posting here as posted in wrong topic earlier)
I’ve had a bad history of UTI in the past, which was then referred onto urologist and diagnosed painful bladder syndrome. This all happened as I got a UTI which assumed may have been from paddling pool sitting in swimsuit, the first round Trimeporim didn’t work so went back and was prescribed Nitrofurtain. I think after this I felt better but I still didn’t feel right as then started noticing whenever I ate spicy food things would flare up and just increased awareness etc. Then that year took a cold and took lemsip which then ended up with retention issues. It just felt like things weren’t right after that uti. For retention I found Dmannose and things improved on that I believe. For few years now things have been okish odd flare ups and dmannose treats it and Through pregnancy I was scared of getting UTIs as although Nitro worked in a way I really struggled with thrush and eating for months i’m sure I ended up with espohagus thrush from it so had a fear since of taking them! Pregnancy and birth was fine. Now a year later and my period ended and I felt like I was crampy there and more awareness. I held off and took dmannose as usual. Think done this for a week as hoped it was just relating to period in a way and would go especially as thursh history I’m hesistant. Once that wasn’t helping went to doc and they prescribed Nitro but I then got the fear so they changed the script to co amoxo (something) but urine got sent off and like last time came back negative. For few days before meds I felt ticklish inside bladder (not painful or sore just tickly and it wasn’t on peeing) this seems to have settled and so I thought things were inproving but last night day 2 frequency happened and was needing a lot at night. Its my final day (day 3) and the frequency has me worried if it’s either just slow working or that its not a UTI. They gave me this in IV form after birth which had no side effects thats why I liked this one :( (co amoxolav)
I’ve no pain on peeing was more just the cramp then the ticklish sensation along with frequency.
