Have Burning In Vaginal Area. Feels Better After Urination. Could It Be Yeast Infection?

I have been diagnosed with IC for about 7 years. Recently, I have had increasing burning in my vaginal area. It gets worse with the urgency to urinate. I had a cysto yesterday and had a few hours of relief. There are some glomerations on the posterior wall of my bladder . My uro wants to do a hydrodistention, but I m wondering if I could have a yeast infection . I have no other signs of a yeast infection. The pain gets a little better after I urinate. it hurts to move, when I walk, when I sit, a horrible burning pain in my genital area.

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

Consider that given you have been diagnosed with IC, your urologist might not be taking into consideration issues in the vaginal area. Yes, you might have something like a yeast infection, but it does not exactly fit with the exacerbating symptoms of movement, walking, and sitting - and improvement after you urinate. These symptoms also do not necessarily fit with an IC flare. I would consider a second opinion with an OB/GYN before going through with hydrodistension. Also consider antihistamine medications for treatment of the possible IC flare.

I hope that this helps and good luck!
