So I finally made it to the urologist after months of doctors and antibiotics for what everyone thought was an UTI. I would only test positive for leukocytes but then when sent off would grow low counts of beta strep. One doc said thats a uti and you treat it normally. Another said that beta strep does not cause uti and sent me to a gyno.
Finally the urologist thinks that the group b thing is a skin condition and would not cause a uti. So all this time I might not have had a uti? And have been on many rounds of antibiotics. He thinks that at one point I did have a uti and my bladder is just irritated. He did a clean catch urine sample and put be on toviaz. Still waiting for the results. He also did an internal exam and when he touched my bladder it really hurt.
The toviaz really messed me up. The first night I made it all the way to 5 am without having to get up to go to the bathroom. So I thought maybe its working. But the next day I felt awful I had to pee more yet almost nothing would come out. And this was not normal for me. My symptoms were just a sensitive bladder that would be painful when fill. Having to pee once a night( I would wake up and my bladder would hurt so I would pee to make it feel better) Usually I felt ok unless my bladder was really full but I would have days that I would be in constant pain and peeing more often.
Anyway also I had some burning when I peed (not everytime) but the burning would hang out for awhile after too. I actually thought I was getting a uti, maybe from the catheter?
Now I don't know what to think? I guess I will wait and see what happens with the urine sample. I am also going for a bladder and kidney ultrasound on friday.
I am worried this will never be figure out!
