Vagina nightmare

I had 2 terrible UTI’s at the start of the month and 2 lots of antibiotics. My bladder hasn’t felt right since. I constantly feel like I can’t empty properly. I also have a strange sensation in my vagina, I can’t explain it but it’s very uncomfortable but I can’t pinpoint where it’s coming from. Sometimes it makes me feel nauseas coupled with a horrific pelvic pain centrally where the bladder is located. I feel like I am going round in circles with the GP. I’m convinced I have low estrogen as my UTIs are a common issue. Coupled with constant brain frog/ irritation and feeling pretty much like shit everyday. But I’m 30 so I’m constantly fobbed. I don’t know what I need to do but I just want to feel OK down there.

I have just spent October dealing with this. It actually turned out to be bacterial vaginosis causing me ongoing bladder issues and a sore sensation.

I would ask for swabs to rule it out.

If you weren't so young I would have thought virginal astrophy. I had the same symptoms which was caused by low estrogen.

Hi @Whatisgoingoff2024 . I'm sorry you're feeling like this. I had similar and it turned out to be a vaginal infection called aerobic vaginitis. Here is my post about it. You need to go to the end posts to read about aerobic vaginitis though. Hope it helps xxx https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_health/5190130-beating-a-chronic-uti-success-stories
