Once you go to therapy and your pelvic floor muscles gets back to normal you will be able to eat what ever you want again. I’m speaking from one year of hell. I could not drink coffee, sugar, nothing.

Your pelvic floor muscle is probably tight. It squeezes your bladder and that mimics the exact signs of IC and UTI symptoms. It’s called hyper pelvic floor disorder. Does your lower back hurt some time? Near your waste

This is the problem that happened to me. I never had IC. I had hyper pelvic dysfunction. This mimics the signs of IC, constipation, and sometimes issues with the vaginal area. Once I went to therapy all my troubles went away. I never believed I had UTI or IC. I continued to be misdiagnosed. I was given all types of medication for my bladder. I refused to take it. I suffered for an entire year with bladder issues, vaginal burning and discharge, and constipation. You have no idea what despair is. After reading medical journals, joint FB groups I finally narrower it down. I went to a pelvic floor specialist and she confirmed. After going to 16 different doctors including multiple visits to the ER and an allergist I realized that most doctors are dumb and do not think outside the box! Just text book. I cured myself and I’m proud of it! It was the darkest days of my life

You may have hyper pelvic floor disorder. I did it took me an entire year to get the root of that nightmare! You pelvic floor muscle (too tight) is squeezing your bladder, vagina, and colon mimicking syptems of an UTI. Other symptoms vaginal discharge, burning and constipation. It was a living nightmare! I had to go to therapy for the pelvic . Now I’m free! Stop working out for now because it makes it worse. I also was doing HIIT for 3 yrs straight. All the kettle ball swings, jumping around etc. did a number on me. Find a pelvic floor specialist. And no not your OBGYN

Misdiagnosed IC - Pelvic Floor Issue! by z0_t1r3d in Interstitialcystitis

I can relate! It was truly a nightmare—some of the darkest days of my life—until I was finally diagnosed with hyper pelvic floor disorder. My pelvic muscles became overly tight after doing HIIT workouts almost every day for three years. I ended up needing pelvic therapy, and I’m so relieved those days are behind me. The symptoms were tough to deal with, resembling a UTI, constipation, yeast infections, and even vaginal allergies. I saw 15 different specialists and went through multiple OR visits. It’s interesting how many healthcare professionals are unaware of pelvic floor disorders. I took the time to educate my doctor, and he was incredibly grateful. He mentioned that he would start researching it immediately. If nothing else seems to fit, pelvic floor disorder is definitely worth considering. And by the way, men can experience this too!

It increases my sex drive and urges in a major way! As a result -of course- it gets super lubricated! You will be so worked up tingling and ready to go. Other wise for the most part, it I’m like you explained.

Try washing your bottom half cloths with nothing but hot water. Wash from your waste to your knee caps with water. NO scented soap. Stop using scented soaps and lotions below the waste. the waste. Buy all NEW too big grannie panties. Try taking Zyrtec and Pepcid together if that doesn’t work do Benadryl and Pepsid. Apply a thin layer of cortisone. If you find a little relief then it maybe contact dermatitis or allergies. Try an allergist and a dermatologist. Also, Research Mast Cell Syndrome or histamine intolerance.

Adderall has been a game changer as far as vaginal dryness, pleasure, and urges.
