I am currently seeing a gyno and have just had an mri as I have a lump on what seems like my bladder wall.

I have interstitial cystitis as well as endo that irritates my bladder and bowel. I pee probably 4 times an hour when it's really bad. Same thing with just sitting and getting more our too. The bladder issues vary for me, I've been to a urologist and they suggested diet journal. I've been very lax tho with it tho and know I have a pretty terrible diet.

Ive struggled with bladder infections alot over the past 2 years. But my symptoms were not very typical. So i was the same, i thought endo. My symptoms were abdominal pain and dizziness, that was it. I didnt know until i had my urine tested. My urinalysis would come back normal, but my urine cultures would cone back with high levels of bacteria

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member you have just totally described my symptoms! I decided to go to medical centre urine came back fine but have gave me some antibiotics anyway and if symptoms don't subside push a urology referral along with the referral I have with gynae. I'm taking its just the endo but seriously fed up now :( xx
