Night time bladder pain
by Canasays, Jan 13, 2009 02:59AM
Greetings,
I am a 19 year old female and have been suffering from bladder pains, mostly at night, for the past 3 months. For a while, I was able to deal with them, but they have become progressively worse and usually keep me up for hours and hours and I wake up many times throughout the night to try and pee but nothing happens or very little. I tried cutting things out of my diet, like milk, which did help significantly, but now it is back pretty bad again (still not drinking milk). As for a little medical history, when I was 16-17 I did go through a year long period where I constantly had urinary tract infections, so I know what they are like and this does not seem the same. Also, this past summer, I had an ovarian cyst burst which caused extreme pain, HUGE swelling and I go little to no explanation or prevention advice from the hospital. They did however charge me thousands of dollars, which I am still paying for. I am so desperate for advice, or help, but I really can't afford tons of medical bills, especially when they don't even do anything. My life, school, and work performance are suffering greatly do to lack of sleep, so any good advice/ explanation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Cana

How are you? One thing you need to confirm is whether you are having a UTI again because symptoms of pain, frequent urge to pass urine etc are related to infection. Confirmation can be done by urine analysis and culture. Also, the cause for recurrent UTI’s needs to be evaluated. The common causes are interstitial cystitis and cystitis cystica. You need to get a cystoscopy done to confirm what it is.
Also, I think an ultrasound abdomen could fix the cause if it is gynaecologically related. Hope this information helps.
Best.
The symptoms of pain I am experiencing are not while I pee. There are no symptoms of burning, ect like a uti. I would say I am about 90 percent sure it is something else, unless UTI symptoms vary dramatically. I did have an ultrasound done last summer, which was part of a series of tests that were taken to discover the ruptured ovarian cyst. Thanks so much for your opinion, I will look for a doctor to perform the test.
Thanks again,
Cana
