Is it ic?

My doctor seems to think I may have IC..I get pressure in my vagina uretha area with frequent urination..I sometimes feel like I need to put pressure on my clitoris vagina area to get some relief..I don't burn when I urinate but the constant pressure is painful at times..does this sound familiar to anyone?

Yes, I have the same thing. Just a constant pressure even after I empty my bladder, feels like it's always full. I was diagnosed with IC about 8 years ago. I fortunatly do not have much pain, just constant pressure. I go to the bathroom up to 50 times a day sometimes and it keeps me up all night. Ill get up and go and then have to go again 5 min later. The pressure and need to urinate is very uncomfortable and I find it hard to leave the house because I always have to be near a bathroom. They do have medications that you can take to help the symptoms, none of them worked for me but I suppose it depends on the individuals. Good luck and feel better soon
