I'm really not sure
So, i dont know alot of the scientific language and atomically correct language with dealing w parts of my body. and i'm not even sure if this is where i should be. but i need ANY help i can get??
ive gotten chronic UTI's for years now, and ive been to drs abt it before but no one has been able to tell me, WHY, i get them so frequently, but i know what an UTI feels like and how long it stays. but recently over the past few months ive been getting "phantom UTI's"? which i tried to find anything online for them and most comes back to IC.
all day at work im perfectly fine for 8-9 hours, and i come home and shower all good. I go to lie down, and its the sharp stabbing pain you get from UTI's. the urgency to use the bathroom. just tonight alone ive been home since 1am, getting in 3 diffrent baths bc it seems to be the only thing soothing this pain tonight. and its 4:30am now. ive taken cystex which soothes my UTI pains when i get them.
i really have no idea if its IC or PFD. but if anything of this maybe be related please let me know, i want to know a little bit more and how to manage it at home while letting a professional diagnose my issues.
