I have been having to urinate frequently for over a year, at least 14-15 times a day, I never sleep through the night. I always wake up at least once, usually 2-3 times to use the restroom, and that is with going to bed at 11 pm and waking up at 7 am. My doctor said it was from my birth control pills... ok whatever, but lately I have been have having pain during urination and when I wipe, which has been getting increasingly worse. Every time I have had sex it has been very painful, despite using lube, and the pain afterwards is excruciating. The pain I have when I pee in the hours after sex brings me to tears. I assume I my boyfriend and I are still STD free because we both were checked. But I got checked again last week and am waiting for the results.
Could this pain during urination, wiping and sex and sometimes just to touch my vaginal area be interstitial cystitis. Today, an hour after sex I was literally sobbing on the toilet from the pain. My boyfriend is forcing me to make another appt with the doctor on Monday, but I just want to be sure IC is a possibility before I bring it up to her.
She is also going to do a vaginal exam. I just got a pelvic ultrasound done because of the pain during sex but it came back normal. Please help...
