Living with Interstitial Cystitis (IC)

Nicole Ward6 said:Hmm, I've been struggling with these exact same issues for three years now. Where can I go for testing so I can actually get a formal diagnosis? Based on everything I'm feeling—frequent urination without any visible signs of infection—I strongly suspect it's that specific condition. I've tried every antibiotic imaginable, but nothing works. The last time I saw a urologist, he just prescribed Medazol. When I asked him what was actually wrong, he just said it was "chronic." I don't get it; I'm only 32, not an old lady! On top of that, I can't sleep at all because of the constant pressure. It’s really taken a toll on my mental health because I've spent three years unable to figure out what's happening or find the right treatment. Please, HELP!!!
Hey! I've been struggling with this for four years too. I had a cystoscopy and they found an expulsion at the bladder neck trigone... my doctor just calls it "chronic" and leaves it at that. I had an IV a year ago and everything seemed fine then. Does anyone else have trouble actually going, like having to strain to pee?🤦
