I was just at my dr today, because I thought I had a UTI over the weekend when I got my period, and the test was negative. I have endometriosis (and PCOS) and since last Friday I have had a CONSTANT urge to pee. When it came on the urge was definitely the worst, and since then, there's times when it's worse than others, but it's always there to some degree. I just started taking the pill for the first time in 7 years last Wednesday when I got my period, so I was hoping maybe this was some weird side effect or maybe the pill was causing interstitial cystitis. I have no actual pain urinating or burning, but I ALWAYS have pelvic pain. Something that I've lived with for a long time with the endo and cysts I keep getting. It has been worse than ever lately. I don't necessarily think this doctor is right - which is why I'm here asking for your opinions. He thinks that the constant urgency to urinate is from endo growing on my bladder.
Does anyone here have this problem? If so, how did it start for you? From what I read, it sounds MUCH worse than what I'm experiencing - I have no blood in my urine or pus, and no pain urinating. Just the urge. I'm sure everyone's different, but I'm just wondering if those are more advanced symptoms and it can start out with just an urge? This wasn't my actual doctor - my dr is on vacation for the week so this guy is the other obgyn in his office. When I got the UTI test over the weekend from my GP, he prescribed me some pills to relax my bladder to keep it from spasming. They really helped at first, but now they just help a little.
I can't take this having to pee feeling, so if this is what it is then I'm wondering if I should push for a cystoscopy? They've been trying to get me to have another lap for some time now, but my last one was just 9 months ago, and I can't afford to take off of work again, so I'm trying to hold off.
Let me know what you think if you have endo on your bladder (or any other opinions are obviously welcome!)
thanks
