Constant tingly feeling on my urination tract

Posted by m1ch3lle @m1ch3lle, 4 days ago

Hi everyone!

A bit of background, Im only 17 years old, and I was diagnosed with UTI 3 weeks ago. I took antibiotics until my symptoms disappeared, and I took a urine test, and it said there was only a tiny amount of left-out bacteria left. My doctor gave me one last antibiotic after he saw my urine test. After that, my symptoms got better. I didn’t have to pee every 10 mins, my pee was no longer a tiny amount, and there was no longer constant urge.

However, one thing never changes. I keep on feeling CONSTANT, day and night, a tingly uncomfortable feeling on my urination tract for 3 weeks straight and up until now. Its not exactly an urge to urinate, its just a very uncomfortable tingly feeling, almost as if my nerves are very sensitive down there.

I couldnt sleep for days, I kept on staying up at night because I would need to pee 4x at night (around midnight and early morning too).

Im not sure if this is UTI or not because I dont feel pain or pressure at all. Its just this very uncomfortable tingly feeling that never goes away in every second.

Please help me. I seriously havent sleep at all and I feel like im going insane and anxious :(((

.....it;s like going through a maze trying to figure things out.... all my bowel and bladder issues began as a result of radiation to the pelvis decades before.... price we pay to reduce tumour size of apple! however spouse also has similar from anal cancer,,,, plus aging its been miserable the past years and changed our basic happy quality of life.... as so many others with various illnesses: what we would give for just a week of energy, no pain, no side effects.... i would take my worst most stressful week at work rather than an hour of my days now...

Hello, i have tons of chronic illness’s i will start of by saying that so when i was 18(currently 19, 20 next month) i was having constant irritation/tingling/weird sensation in my bladder that was causing me to miss all my courses my i attributed it my endometriosis and IBS, neuropathy. i went to the doc after about a month and had a negative uti test, about two weeks later same thing. i was dying from my regular pain but this pain but unbearable bc it was like inside it was like mentally messing with me and felt like i constantly had to go the bathroom. when k first gonsumtoms it was in nov in june i finally got tested for mycoplasma and ureaplasma and was positive for that and they gave me antibiotics and they worked for about two weeks then it came back. then i finally got a gyno that said it could possibly be a yeast infection bc i do get those when i take antibiotics so she gave me a pill for that that helped for a couple days. long story short she could figure it out, i was searching online and kinda had an idea of what i thought it was, i went to a urologist and he tried the same stuff, some new stuff none of it worked but he finally gave me the diagnosis i thought i had. it was interstitial cystitis. i encourage you to look into that. i get installations every week. for rat which is a hassle but worth it at this point. it is a debilitating disease that some people can never get under control and that is triggered by many different things but they can get it under control sometimes. but i have three that r debilitating so if u can get one under control i would look into it.

Oh gosh that sounds awful! 🙁
But I feel you, really, and I know how draining these illnesses could be. It drains me as well and I feel like I’m getting chronic stress and less sleep because of this :’)
It might probably be the stress that’s causing my irritation

I read throughout your story and I couldn’t imagine how horrible you must have felt for years, I truly sympathize with you.
I’ve heard a lot about internal cystitis but after I searched it up the symptoms are actually pretty similar to UTI. I don’t experience any pain for a month now, so I’m hoping it’s just a mild UTI.

Overall, what medication/antibiotic heals your cystitis the most?
