It started mid-may: burning sensation (but not when I pee) and urge to pee all the time even when bladder empty.
1st doctor: antibiotics for bladder infection (did not work)
2nd doctor: vaginal cream for infection, did not work, no infection
3rd doctor: (private) Elmiron for interstitial cystitis : took for 5 weeks, not much improvement. I stopped cause was afraid of bad side effects
4th doctor: talked to urologist over the phone, send request to hospital for cystoscopy ( after 2 months, still waiting) and told me to keep taking Elmiron in cause its interstitial cystitis
5th doctor: private Gynecologist: vaginal atrophy, Estragyn 0.1% (estrone cream) for 2 weeks and twice a week.
Since all that, not much better. Outside of vagina sometimes burning like hell. Pharmacist said to change cream...
My own GP was on sick leave.
So to conclude: still dont know if I have issues with the bladder or its all related to vaginal atrophy.
Tomorrow, calling for asap apt with own GP and thinking of going to private urology clinic to have that exam done.
Cant live like that anymore...waisting time left here on this earth... and my husband has prostate cancer...
