Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in the best way possible. First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.

Based on the history you have shared, it can be interstitial cystitis. Other causes of pelvic inflammatory disease or other causes of sterile pyuria. However, a urologist review and consideration for cystoscopy and CT pelvis and KUB may be considered.

Avoiding caffeine-containing drinks or acidic fruits like citrus as well as chocolate may help. Stress may also aggravate the symptoms.

For severe pain, prescription based medications like Amitriptyline may be prescribed. Another drug Elmiron is widely used and thought to help by reproduction of urinary epithelium.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope This has answered your query.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Regards.
