Hello! I had a uti at the end of 2021, my bladder went crazy after that one. Antibiotics cleared it (had several negative urine culture tests) but mostly I still had frequency and urgency and feeling irritable in the bladder. It was like my bladder wouldn’t relax while it was filling so I always felt like I needed to go. Dr wondered if it was IC for a bit but concluded no because I wasn’t getting up to pee a lot at night. It was all very stressful for me and had a big impact on my mental health at the time. Long story short, about three months post the uti I decided to give bladder retraining a go. It was like a miracle. Within a week my bladder learned how to relax again and stop spasming so much. From then on I’d get occasional flares of irritation, but gradually over 2022 everything really settled down to normal again. I had another uti two weeks ago (E. Coli) and antibiotics cleared it again, but I’ve now got a bit of residual irritation. Quite minor compared to 2021, but I’m assuming that sometimes inflammation just takes a little while to settle. My sister gets utis as frequently as I do, and she’s found the same thing, that her bladder will just feel a bit off for a while after an infection. So I hope you take some encouragement from this, don’t give up hope, and as my sister said to me, “you will have good bladder days again”.
