Hi
I am not yet diagnosed but every 2-3 months I feel like I have a urine infection, bruised feeling in lower abdomen, stinging when urinating, feeling a bit queesy etc. I’ve had various urine tests but they all come back negative.
Is it common in MS to just get the feeling of a UTI but not actually have an infection?
Umm you don’t say whether you are male or female but given that UTIs are more common in women I’ll take a guess and assume you might be a woman.
Some women can experience what is called honeymoon cystitis which means their urethra can become inflamed and irritated after sex causing symptoms similar to a UTI. If this is happening after a particulary energetic time (thus honeymoon!) you might have your answer. If not please ignore and sorry
Cheers,
Belinda
Hi Anon Have you had a UTI in the past or recently because I find that after one I quite often get the symptoms you are describing. My doc thinks that the UTI has caused the urethra to become inflamed, thus I get those problems. This seems to settle after a couple of weeks. Hth, Teresa xx
