What Causes Burning Sensation During Urination Along With Bladder Spasms?
I have been diagnosed with something like female bladder syndrome . The symptoms are extreme debilitating burning up inside and when I urinate. I have been checked numerous times for UTI, bladder infections, etc. Nothing on urinalysis. However, doctor said that there are bladder spasms and hardening or thinning of the bladder wall? I was prescribed Hyaphen. Nothing seems to help. The burning is such that I am unable to walk or sit for very long. Help?

Hello,
The burning sensation during urination along with bladder spasms can be caused by several conditions such as interstitial cystitis (also known as painful bladder syndrome), bladder stones, bladder cancer, as nothing appeared on urine analysis. It's good that you have been checked for UTI and bladder infections, but there could be other underlying conditions that may need further investigation.
Interstitial cystitis is a chronic condition that causes bladder pain, urgency, and frequency. It is often diagnosed after ruling out other possible causes of bladder symptoms. Treatment for interstitial cystitis may include lifestyle changes (such as avoiding certain foods and drinks that can irritate the bladder), medications (such as antihistamines, pain relievers, or bladder relaxants), and bladder instillations (where medications are inserted directly into the bladder).
It's important to follow up with your doctor and discuss your symptoms in detail to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment plan. They may refer you to a urologist or other specialist for further evaluation and management.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
