Im a 24 year old woman, since I was about 16 I've occasionally had bladder infections. I mainly would get them after getting a new boyfriend from having sex, I would get treatment and then would be fine from there out, once in awhile would get one from lack of water, but nothing to ever get concerned about it.
About 4 months ago I met my new boyfriend and we had sex and as always had an expected to come bladder infection about four days after our first time of sleeping together. Went in and had treatment. Then after treatment still noticed I had the urge to pee all the time and never peed much, so back into the doctor I went and began treatment again. This continued for about another 2 weeks. Then one day of almost peeing my pants and hardly making to the bathroom there was hardly any pee, I finally had enough and broke down in tears to my boyfriend and he told me maybe I should go to an STD clinic and just check all that. So I did very that, after 7 days of waiting for results found out I was positive for Chlamydia, began treatment and my boyfriend went in the next day and had his treatment too. We never engaged in sex for two weeks. Six weeks after treatment I was feeling good but thought better make sure that we didnt re-infect each other and went and got tested again, and I came back negative. Then I was fine, everything was back to normal.
Then my boyfriend was gone for 3 weeks and when he came home we had sex and within 2 days I was back into the doctor and yes there it was another bladder infection. So began treatment again, and after I was done my 10 day antibiotics I still felt the urge to pee, but I didnt know if it was all in my head and I was just thinking about it so much that I was bringing it on myself. So back into the STD clinic to see if it was Chlamydia, then back to the doctor to see if it was a bladder infection. Doctor said I was fine, didnt see anything, and then I had to wait 7 days for results from the STD clinic and I was still negative, so all should be good, and they just said your fine stop thinking and worrying about it so much, now its all mind over matter and my body is reacting to my thoughts. This was about a month ago.
And still I feel I have to pee. I run a rock truck and do lots of bouncing around all day but it doesnt seem to bother me then, but as soon as Im home in the evening I feel the urge. So I dont know if its in my head and Im relaxed at home and Im thinking about it to much or what. I've never had this many issues with my bladder so much and its really starting to frustrate me. I work 12 hrs a day and 7 days a week and I can stand the thought of sitting in a walk-in clinic for 3 hours for them to tell me Im fine and it to be a complete waste of time. I was even going to the labs and leaving urine samples with them and there was nothing. Whats going on? Is it all in my head? Am I bringing this on myself mentally? Is that possible?
Please help, I dont know how much more I can take!!
