I understand your frustrations not sure if this could be the same thing or not but growing up I suffered from Reflux of the bladder, which affected both my bladder and kidneys.
I always had the urge to pee and would wet my pants a lot. My parents took me to a urologist and that's what they found out. Urine was backing up from my bladder into my kidney's causing UTI's, bladder infections and yeast infection like symptoms. (which is not something normal for a 6 year old little girl). I was also on Bactrim almost every day for 6 years.
I also had to have ultrasounds done on my kidneys and bladder and also had thsi cathater test which they pump your bladder full of fluid and a dye and then take pictures when it's emptied. Painful.
Anyway when I was 9 I had corrective surgery and haven't had a problem since. It's something that is usually found in childhood but you might want to do some research on it. Because you could be experiencing this.

I am just getting frustrating with my doctor. I went in several months ago because every month, they were treating me for UTI's....this last time, I was like "why do I keep getting them and why do I get up so much at night to go?"....
So, urine test come back clean (no UTI, which is weird because I had all the painful symptoms)....bloodwork come back wonderful (checked liver, kidney, diabetes, etc).
Next, was an ultrasound to measure my bladder - scan done on full bladder than immediately right after it was emptied
Haven't heard back from that yet (almost two weeks!!!  )
They wanted to do that to see if urine was being left after being "emptied" and if so, then it might need to be dilated?! 
I just don't understand what is going on....All I drink is water or Crystal Light or Green Tea....no milk, no "cokes", etc. I do drink water with dinner and I will have water between dinner and bedtime (because I am always thirsty). Just the getting up several times at night to go is really bothering me.
Sorry for the WAY off embarrassing topic....just hoping that maybe someone has gone thru the same thing or might know something!
THANKS!  |
