Terrible bladder pain?!
Question:
Terrible bladder pain?
Well as the title suggest I'm getting terrible bladder pain! There has been some blood in the urine, (although not for a month or so) bad pain when urinating, a intermittent precise pain in my bladder, perineal and pubic pain, passing gas when urinating, and a couple of times pain when ejaculating. I've had a cystoscopy and the doctors found something in my bladder. At the time they said it was a enterovesical (?) fistula (I'm also a Crohn's patient) but having had an IVU and Gastrograffin enema it's been revealed that this is not the case. I've suspected it might be Interstitial Cystitis but I'm a 22 year old male and from what I've heard it's a lot rarer in young males. I'm booked in for another cystoscopy where they are going to take biopsies under general anaesthetic. Can anyone give me any ideas of what it might be? I'm kind of at the end of my tether!
Thanks :-)
