Constant full bladder and dribbling

For about 4 weeks now I've had what initially felt like cystitis and then thrush. I treated the cystitis with 3 rounds of antibiotics and I'm still treating the thrush with fluconozole. NOTHING is helping to stop the constant urgent full bladder feeling - it's driving me insane. I had an ultrasound on my bladder and all is fine and it empties fine. Doctor prescribed Ovestin, but I haven't used it yet as I'm a bit worried about it making me sore or making the thrush and uti worse - I'm just a bit scared, I don't really know why. I have no burning, no itching. I started the thrush treatment as I was getting a lot of thrush discharge etc Doctor tested urine 4 weeks ago, he said no sign of uti. After trying most things I'm thinking maybe it is Peri-Menopause related and GP is right. I didn't trust the GP as it was only a phone consult and she was stabbing around in the dark, she gave me no confidence at all! Has anyone else just had the constant full bladder and some dribbling, but no other symptoms? Thank you so much for any help.

Ask for referral to urologist. Do not normalise symptoms like these, they will only get worse.
I was seeing urologists for 4 years before they eventually put me on low dose long term antibiotics- literally the only thing that works. Last year my Gp reviewed my meds and told me to stop. Within 2 weeks all symptoms came back and I insisted to have my prescription renewed. Nothing since.

I had the full works of investigations and treatments including instillations, dilation of urethra and nowt worked.

you have to be tenacious and difficult. Don’t accept anyone fobbing you off. See the expert not a GP.
