Re: ache after intercourse,NOT a UTI
<BR>I have had a hysterectomy (1999)<P>The 'feeling' maybe better described as a sensation....feels like I have a UTI<P>I have not had any sexual relations for thre weeks and this 'bout' has not diminished- so now I not sure it is tied to that. actually I have started to refer to it as my chronic UT condition- and this as a flare up<P>no bleeding- no discharge<P>I took days off work last week- I feel better if I lay down with my feet up and simply do nothing but rest. The feeling-ache- whatever we call it seems to increase after voiding.<P>The urologist gave me a presecription- I cannot for the life of me think of the nane right now- the little red pills for UTI's- he said these would relax my muscles-and give me relief..... these no longer provide any relief<P>I am 53 years old and have had many UTI's.I also have IBS<P>While generally the pain has been located at the base of the pelvic area-last week I also experienced some back pain.<P>I am going to see my GP again tomorrow- she is not sure what to do anymore.....<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR><font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Dr. Bruce:<BR><B>Hello:<BR>It would be helpful to know a little more about this before offering an opinion.<BR>Please describe how long it lasts, just where in your pelvis you feel it, and whether there are any other sensations that are a part of it- like a discharge, or bleeding. Does it happen only after sex in certain positions? How long have you had this problem, and is it worse during your cycle?<BR>Have you had prior gynecologic problems?</B></font><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>
