HELP does anyone on here have Interstitial Cystitis?

Question

I’ve been fighting off a UTI for almost two months! I’ve done three rounds antibiotics. Different antibiotics each round.. I’m at a loss. I’m almost finished with my third round of antibiotics and my symptoms are still here. After some research I came across Interstitial cystitis. I’m wondering if this what I have. Anyone on here have this or any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Answer

I did a few years ago. Only thing that helped was chugging water (200oz a day), no caffeine, no alcohol, no milk, no spicy foods or acidic foods. My urologist wanted to put me on medication for it (I cannot remember what it was but it’s also an anxiety medication that has been shown to help sxs of IC), but I got pregnant so never tried it. And weirdly, becoming pregnant made my IC sxs go away 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Yes! I’ve struggled with IC my entire life, but was finally diagnosed at 17.  I know you’ve been through a few rounds of antibiotics, did you have a culture done before every round?
