Can IC inflammation cause blood on toilet paper after urination? Couple years ago my doctor thinks I may have IC. Couple times a year I do get bladder infections. Right now I'm on Cipro for a bladder infection and I'm on my 10th day of antibiotics when I saw blood on the toilet paper. My bladder symptoms however seems better now that I'm on antibiotics.
View 1 RepliesAfter a bout of constipation early this year (I was on a liquid diet because of a throat issue and didn't consume much fiber for 2 weeks), I had 2 bowel movements with a little bright red blood either on the stool or the toilet paper. Started consuming more fiber, it got better for a few months...2 months ago, had a day where I hardly had any water during the day (was out and busy and it just slipped my mind except when I was super thirsty), then I had a little bright red blood again. Today, I was riding a bike, my butt started to hurt. Shortly thereafter, I pooped with a little blood on it. My mom has battled hemorrhoids since she was in college. Do you think I have hemorrhoids or should I be more worried?
No vomiting or diarrhea, no unexplained weight loss or fatigue, no consistent changes in stool size or shape...On occasion, I'll feel a burn when pooping.
I developed excruciating burning in my bladder within the last two weeks. After ruling out a bladder infection, and after doing much Internet research, my symptoms (burning 24/7) seem to match interstitial cystitis. Has anyone received this diagnosis? It appears that the condition is chronic and very very difficult to treat, and that there are no proven treatment. There are treatments but they are pretty extreme (you can Google them under treating Interstitial Cystitis.)
So what a low blow. Can anyone out there help me? I see a urologist for the first time tomorrow. Can anyone tell me what I am in for to cure this horrible burning?
When I take a sip of red wine , I get a sensation of irritated bladder ! But after I drink more it seems to subside a bit . Am I allergic to the wine ?This discussion is related to interstitial cystitis and irritable bladder.
View 1 RepliesI had the mirena coil fitted four weeks ago to help my periods, the first two weels were fine, then I started to notice I needed to go to the toilet more frequently.It got worse and had bad discomfort in my bladder and my urethra , my doctor treated my for a urine infection, but it didn't clear it up. I started looking online and found out that the progesterone in the coil can irritate the bladder and cause interstitial cystitis, the doctor didn't have a clue so ....

View 4 RepliesI suffer from autoimmune thyroiditis, interstitial cystitis, heart palpitations (mostly PVCs and PACs) and Small Intestinal Bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), random inflammations that come and go and lots of debilitating symptoms. The above conditions started around the same time, so they seem to be related somehow. I've seen multiple doctors and specialists, but none of them have been able to identify the root cause of all of these conditions.
I'm thinking of doing a parasite cleanse to see if it helps. I'm kind of hesitant to try it because I've heard that it can cause really bad side effects. Has anyone tried a parasite cleanse for one or more of the above conditions? Did it help?
I suffer a bit of OCD with this situation. But here goes...What are the chances of me becoming pregnant after wiping with toilet paper from a unisex toilet. It was in the home of a lady that does gym classes. I had to use the loo and wiped my vagina with toilet paper after peeing and then thought to myself oh no men live in this house, what if one had ejaculated and somehow it got on the toilet paper and I wiped with it. Is this possible? I know it seems irrational but to me it is a serious concern. Can you please offer advice? I'm also on Yaz birth control but I'm such a worrier, I sometimes think well what if Yaz failed for some reason? Do you ladies wipe your vagina with toilet paper in public bathrooms? I felt so stupid afterwards.
View 2 RepliesI went to have a drug test this past week for a job and I notice my urine was a bit on the dark side which it's normally not,but what freaked me out a little is what was floating in my urine. The best way to describe what it look like: look like pieces of toilet paper or a chunky piece of dandruff. How weird is that? Also anyone that deals with hot flashes.is there any of you that only experience them at bedtime?
View 20 Replieswhen I had vulvodynia in 2013, I researched everything that could be contributing to it. One thing was the chemicals in toilet paper. In order to produce the pulp from the wood to make the paper harsh chemicals are used, typically caustic soda and sodium sulfide. This "chemical pulp" is then bleached, the colour or scent may be added. Could these residual chemicals in toilet paper be contributing to the irritation experienced with VA? Would you put caustic soda (drain cleaner) or bleach on your vulva, even if you didn't have VA?
Since I had vulvodynia I have used toilet paper that is made without nasty chemicals and without bleach to wipe after I've had a wee.
So i Went To Use The Restroom Like 30 Minutes Ago & Wen i Wiped There Was A Slimy Bloody Spot On The Toilet Paper ! Was That My Mucus Plug Don't Know Bcz i Didnt Lose It Wit My First Baby ! & Am i Supposed To Go To The Hospital After i Lose It ?
View 2 RepliesI have been experiencing frequent urge to urinate for the past 2 weeks. At first it was just annoying, I haven't experienced pain or anything so I thought it was just because of drinking plenty of water. But then, even when I didn't drink much I had the urge to go to the bathroom every one hour and I started to wake up at least once at night with the urge to urinate even when it was for very small amount of urine. For two days the colour of my urine was pinkish and I felt discomfort and pressure on my lower back. Now the colour of the urine changed to pale yellow and I feel some weird vibration in my lower back. Anyone has any idea of what this can be? I have read about UTIs but can this be UTI if I don't feel pain or burning sensation while urinating? I am just back from vacation in a foreign country and I can't see my doctor until after 3 days.. But I am starting to get concerned since it is lasting very long... I was just wondering what this can be and if it is something to worry about? Will be very grateful for comments and informations!
View 2 RepliesMy mom, now 65 years old, started experiencing problems with frequent urination and pain during urination. At first she thought it was just UTI and her doctor gave her antibiotics. However, it’s been 3 weeks after she finished her antibiotics and she still says she has problems with urination.
The only other medication she is taking for high cholesterol is Zocor and she’s been on it for years now, but is it possible that Zocor is causing my mom’s issues?

View 1 RepliesI've had a toilet phobia for years now since I was like 15 and now I'm 21. It's embarrassing to talk about like I really hate it and it stops me from doing a hell of a lot things.
I'm really pouring my heart out here and I'm trying to meet people just like me with the same thing or similar as I've never met anyone like me before and I know there is people out there the same as me.
Basically I can't go anywhere without thinking about the toilet, I won't go anywhere unless I know there's a toilet there. I won't travel anywhere with other people because I'm scared what they may think with me going to the toilet all the time. My mind makes me think I need the toilet. It forms into panic and anxiety attacks so it's very hard to deal with. It's a horrible fear and it angers me to admit that the whole embarrassment is the fear of me obviously weeing myself. I've never done it but it's the fear that takes over.

View 4 RepliesI ordered some boric acid suppositories. Yesterday I used 1/2 suppository in the afternoon, then inserted 1 whole one before bed, then another whole 1 this morning.
By this afternoon a had quite a lot of discharge, but within that discharge on my pantyliner it was pinkish, which is not normal. It looked a bit like blood. Maybe a drop or two of blood, but as a streak.
My period is not due for another 2 weeks so I know this is definitely irritation from using the boric acid. I know that boric acid should come into contact with the blood stream though, so I'm worried about continuing use...
Is this pink discharge/irritation of the vagina normal when using boric acid? Is it safe to continue with the boric acid?
Has anyone ever had this with a yeast infection?? Or at all? If so what caused it. Even I say cracks I mean it looks identical to a paper cut. I'm only 32 so menopause is not the cause. Testing for herpes has so far turned out negative but may be too early for accuracy....
