Hi, I’m in the process of trying to get diagnosed, not sure if it’s IC or pelvic floor dysfunction. Either way, my main symptom is a horrible pain/burning in my urethra. Usually it will only last a few days at a time but it’s been weeks now. Every time this happens I get tested for a UTI and it’s always negative so I’ve stopped getting tested because it’s just not realistic at this point. I use AZO pain relief and it always helps but it’s expensive and it’s not good to for you to use every day. Does anyone have any supplements they use that help with this type of pain?
It took me years to figure out but it's a ph imbalance that triggers my pain. It was diagnosed as IC but sometimes you just need to work out your own root cause. Changing hormones each month, period blood and having sex all push your ph away from being as acidic as it should be. I use boric acid suppositories (ok'd by my doctor and gynecologist) each time one of the triggers happens now and it's been life changing after years of pain. They reset the ph level back to where it should be.
I have had IC for over a year now, and what I find really helps are Uqora supplements. You can get the ‘target’, ‘control’, and ‘promote’ supplements and they really really make a difference.
