Last time I was on my period I had these horrible UTI- like symptoms but I could sense it wasn't an actually uti. It felt like I needed to go the toilet even though I knew I didn't, pain at the end of urination, constant mildly painful pressure down there.
Period went and so did the symptoms.
Now my period is back and here they are again. Is this something I'll have to put up with every period now I'm in my 40s? Is it a prolapse that's only showing when my oestrogen drops? Is it ACTUALLY a uti just lying dormant until I'm at my most vulnerable?
Any ideas?
