Hi
I posted a message several weeks ago as I had been diagnosed with a urethral caruncle/inflamed mucosal; after a period of weeks I also started suffering quite badly from bladder issues - feeling as though I needed a wee constantly, painful bladder, feeling as though it wasnt emptying.
Was prescribed vagifem and ovestin cream - still no real progress.
I saw the doctor on Thursday and she is also convinced that the swelling could be a skin issue (I have psoriasis too), and prescribed some very strong steroid cream called clobaderm.
I have used it only 3 times so far - and the caruncle/swelling has eased considerably - still feel as though I need a wee, but, as doctor thought that this was irritating my bladder too, I'm guessing the easing of caruncle symptoms will eventually help my bladder.
Fingers crossed I'm hopeful - but still using vagifem and cream too.
Sometimes doctors can be really helpful and do try to get to the bottom of the issue.
