Been having bladdder spasms for over 6mths now. Intense cramps right after I pee. I've had a D&C procedure & checked ovaries and uterus for cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, etc. Nothing has turned up gyno wise. Urologist performed a cystoscopy a few weeks ago after meds did not work (urised & 4 others). They saw some spotting on the lining of the uterus but did not diagnose me with IC since I do not have any other symptoms besides the spasms (no UTI's, frequency, burning while urinating, odor, etc...) However, I'm still getting the spasms and quite frustrated to say the least. I know the cysto has a 30-40% of subduing the spasms but it didn’t work. Has anyone had this? What have you done to cure this?

Search for bladder diseases, and also could your bladder have fallen? Mine did at 16 while preg. w/ my first daughter. she is 16 now and i have bladder spasms due to a fallen bladder.

My wife used to have the same predicament as you. Normally it would go away a few days before the onset of your menstrual period. This is usually a sign that your body is ovulating. This is what some ob-gynes call your "wet period" or the period when you will likely get pregnant after sex. Your "dry period" is that in which your chance of getting pregnant after sex is nil.\n\nThis may not be a symptom of UTI, since you are not experiencing pain or burning sensation when urinating. This is more of a vaginal discharge (which is different from a discharge due to yeast infection wherein the vagina has a yellowish/white discharge).\n\nTry using a pH-balanced feminine wash...it worked for my wife, so I do not see any reason why it will not work for you.\n\nYou may also see a gynecologist if you wish, to cast out your fears of having UTI (which is most unlikely that you have).

hi there, you may have a bladder infection or even it moved on to a kidney infection, drink a lot of cranberry juice and water  , no caffeine for a few days.  the pain should lesson and  swelling should   go  down.  You  will Need to see your  doctor  , since you may need antibiotics to  get rid-of what ever  type of infection you have.......this is  common after birth     and  from having sex ....don't  leave  it , it can become quite pain-full and  do damage late on......PS this is very  common for us woman

If your doctor says there is nothing wrong, perhaps there isn't.  You could see an ob/gyn, or just be grateful for the delay, it's no pic-nic.  Some people have been even older than you.  A lot of it can be your diet and weight...especially if you are very thin.\nYou know though, if my doc said I was fine, I'd be ecstatic.  If all is well, no need to be in a hurry for a lifetime of monthly cramps and irritability.

I have a few ideas.\n\nTo narrow it down...if the pain is in the middle of the pelvis, it is usually from your uterus.  If it is on one side, or both, it is usually from the fallopian tuves or ovaries.  Since you mentioned left side pain, I am guessing it's the latter.\n\nIf it is during deep thrusting it could be endometriosis, a tilted uterus,  or adhesions or fibroids.\n\nAlso, try to avoid using douche, scented pantyliners, pads, or tampons,  perfumed bath salts or bubbles, or not cotton panties.  This can rule out an allergy that you are transferring the allergen inside.    I am guessing this is not the problem, again, from the left side pain.  Just want to be thorough.\n\nThe one side pain could mean ovarian cysts if it feels real deep in your body.  Deep thrusting can hurt an ovary if the ovary isn't quite in the right place.  A cyst can last a few months then burst and go away.  Since you've had this for a while they aren't likely to go away on their own.  When they get big they can cause pressure on the bowels or  bladder.  A large cyst should be felt during an internal pelvic exam then they follow up with ultrasound to be sure.  \n\nEndometriosis can reduce fertility.  It can cause pain during sex and painful periods.  You have to have a laproscopy to diagnose this completely.  Being on the pill can regulate hormones and help this.  I have a friend who got pregnant 3 months after having surgery for this.  She had tried for years!\n\nA tipped uterus is a cause of infertility too.  The symptoms are usually pain during sex and during your period.  Sometimes you have trouble using tampons and some urine leakage.  Your doctor should of found this during a pelvic exam.\n\nWell, I tried to tell you the basics of everything i can think of.  If one sounds likely, you might try to research it more on the net.  I may of missed some details since I just know of the general problems with this.\n\nI know that some mental problems with sex can cause painful intercourse, but that wouldn't explain the certain pair of jeans that hurt.  But the mind always surprises me when I see what a little bit of resentment or bottled up anger will do.  \n\nIf I had to guess....endometriosis.\n\nGood luck!

The blood in your urine is probably from the kidney stone.  The kidney stone could be moving which is why you may have pain.  You could also have an ovarian cyst.  If this is the case the Yasmin will help.  I was on this birth control and felt really well when on it.  If you are concerned go back to your doctor, or if pain is getting worse or accompanied by other symptoms such as vomiting, fever, go to the ER.

Hi Rettajean.  As you can see, the answers on this site can be quite 'diverse'.\n\nA correct diagnosis cannot be made from the limited information you give (and without a good physical examiniation).  Did your pain start suddenly or gradually?  Does anything (e.g. any position) make it better?  Have you had this type of pain before?  These are some of the basic questions your doctor should ask.\n\nAdditional questions include the following.  Did you injure yourself or do any excessive activity prior to the onset of the pain (sudden twisting or fall or lifting or sports excesses, ect.)?  Are you having any difficutly with urination?  Change in bowel function?  Menstrual problems?  Do you have a fever? Chills or night sweats?  Leg pains or numbness?  Any muscle weakness in the legs?  Does coughing or sneezing aggravate the pain?  These are just some of the questions that need to be answered to help guide your healthcare professional to a correct diagnosis.\n\nNote: If you answer 'yes' to any of the above questions, you really should see your doctor or Chiropractor.\n\nHave you tried ice (cryotherapy) to see if that will help the pain?  If you do not have an icepack designed for this, you can buy one at any drug store or you can use a large bag of frozen vegetables (corn or peas work well).  \n\nPlace the icepack or veggies in a thin pillow case cover and place that on your area of pain.  Apply the icepack for 20 minutes (if you are doing it correctly you will feel periods of cold, burning, aching, pins/needles and then analgesia/numbness).  Do not keep the icepack on more than about 20 minutes.  You need to give the area a 1 hour period without ice to allow for return of healing blood flow and to prevent frost bite (freezer burn!).  After one hour you can apply the icepack again for another 20 minutes.  Repeat as needed.\n\nBest wishes and good luck!

I have had a few non operative cystoscopy.  There is an operative cystoscopy procedure that i know nothing about.  Here is what you can expect from the non operative version:\n\n1.) the doctor will tell you it normally lasts around 45 minutes.  \n2.) No it does not hurt.  The tubing is very small in diameter.\n3.) nope didn't feel a thing except for the nurses hand on my privates hehe\n4.) yes i was awake the whole time\n5.) lydocaine can be used to numb the urethra

This can occur with several different bladder/urinary conditions.  He needs to see a physician, a urologist would be best, to diagnose the exact condition.  I would advise him not to wait because some of these conditions could worsen over time if left untreated and he could end up hospitalized.

I had this problem for several years.  It started - in retrospect - about the time BGH was being used to increase milk production in cows.  Stay with me here....\nI try to find environmental reasons for health issues so after some research I tried staying away from dairy for a week.  It worked.  Now I only buy organic BGH free milk and don't seem to have a problem. \n\nOften our bodies react to a wide variety of toxins by trying to expel then through urination, sweating, and so forth.  Hope this helps.  Good luck!\n\nIt could also be a 'tipped' uterus pressing on the bladder. But that isn't as common

If you're a woman, have you looked into Endometriosis as a possible cause?   My friend had similar symptoms and the doctors looked at liver and gallbladder before settling on Endo as a diagnosis.\n\nGood luck.

Could be any number of concerns ranging from Endometriosis to an inflamed/diseased gall bladder.  I assume at least one of the two docs you have seen is a gynecologist?  Make sure an ecoptic pregnancy is ruled out and consider a differential diagnosis of Endometriosis, fibroids, cysts or other reproductive concern; also, a visit to the gastroenterologist can be helpful to rule out gall bladder disease.  Good luck and don't stop seeing docs till you get one that gives you answers and helps you feel better.

I know this is an embarassing condition, and talking to a Dr would help but it is hard to bring up.  Maybe it would be easier to bring it up to another female.  The school nurse would also be able to help.  She will not judge you or make fun of you, but will handle the matter professionally.  Some questions that he or she will want to know and for you to consider:\n\n1.  Has this been a problem since childhood, or is it a recent occurence?\n\n2.  Do you have any other muscle control problems or any other type of nerve disorders?\n\n3. Are you having any certain emotions that may be causing it, (not just and effect of it) and how many times a day does this happen?\n\n4.  are there any other symptoms that accompany it such as tingling, burning?  Do you have a fever or other pains?  This may indicate a bladder, kidney, or complete urinary tract infection.  Have you had unprotected sex? It could be caused by an STD.\n\n5.  Is your urine unusually smelly, have floaty things in it, pink or bloody?\n\n6. Are you able to feel the NEED to urinate (us people who think we know everything call it "urgency")? OR, do you feel the need to urinate and then you try to go but just a trickle comes out? How many times a day do you pee?  How much do you drink?\n\nthere are probably more things that you need to consider but this is just a small list.  I hope you find out what is going on.  Just be ready to answer some of these questions.  I hope this helps.

Hi,\nI'm sorry people are so sarcastic and mean when you ask a question on here.\n\nFirst of all, no one on this website is going to be able to give you any kind of definite answer to your question.  I will put links to information about chlamydia - the first from the Centers for Disease Control and the second from and Ob/Gyn-related site.  I hope that after you read this information, you will be able to talk to your doctor or clinic about the questions you have.  Only someone who has examined you and taken a THOROUGH medical history will be able to help you.\n\nI will try to make you feel a little bit better, just for now, but remember, I don't have your entire history.  In any case, it does sound like you caught it early both times - if you hadn't, that's when it tends to spread up into your uterus and fallopian tubes and cause infection and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.  It sounds like you have had regular medical care and that they would let you know if you had possibly sustained any damage to your reproductive organs.  So, the fact that they haven't told you anything like that MAY be a good sign.\n\nI'm saying the last part because I don't want you to freak out, but I do want you to get your questions answered - and not on this website.  Please take care of yourself and don't be afraid to ask any questions of your doctor or clinic.

I agree with seeing your obgyn. I used to have a lot of bladder pressure also, and it was due to OB issues.

This could be urinary incontinence.  It has many causes, and so the cure depends on the cause.  If it happens frequently, go see your doctor.

That definitely sounds like a UTI but you need to get a urinalysis to know for sure.  Get to see your doctor as soon as possible.  The popular Over The Counter treatments for these infections rarely work once you get to the point where you are having dysuria (painful urination) and pelvic pain. Good luck!
