Root cause solved!
After being told it’s very likely I suffer with IC with no explanation as to why, I couldn’t help but to refuse to believe that. After not seeing any improvement from the strict diet and lifestyle change I knew there had to be something else going on. I received pelvic MRI results from something unrelated, and turns out I have a 5mm skene duct cyst sitting right in my urethra. This has caused my two years of daily dysuria, bloating, bladder pain, bimonthly UTIs, etc! If you have unexplained dysuria I highly recommend getting an MRI referral to see if this is what is causing your discomfort. I’m feeling optimistic about finding relief once this is resolved. Good luck ladies!
