Hello,
In females, urethral syndrome is an important cause of such symptoms. It is a primarily female syndrome in which women suffer from irritative bladder symptoms (urinary frequency, urgency, burning, and a hesitant or slowed urinary stream) in the absence of any objective urologic findings.
In this the diagnosis can be made only by the proper collections of urine specimens from both the urethra and the bladder. These specimens will reveal the presence of white blood cells in the urethral washings, while the midstream (bladder) specimen will be free of cells.
I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and regards.
I am a 30 yr old female who is having VERY similar symptoms! I have been going to the docs and so far they have found no infection,and are kind of giving up. I have been to two dif docs a gyno and family doc, both have not been able to figure anything out. For me the discomfort comes and goes,bothers me for a day or so then gone for a couple days, then back again. I too believe masturbation may have something to do with this problem. All the doc told me was to take otc AZO,helps the urethral discomfort and helps control frequent bathroom visits. Please let me know if you have found anything out since you last posted,Thank you.
