I finally got an appointment with a pelvic floor physical therapist for next week, it’s my first time ever going to one so I would appreciate any advice on what to expect and what I should remember to say etc :)
Has going to a sauna helped your symptoms? Im visiting my hometown and have access to a sauna there so i was wondering if it would do any good
(Im finnish so typical sauna here is around 80°C or 176F)
So I got put on gemtesa 2 weeks ago, had horrible side effects from day 1 of starting the meds (urine retention, increased frequency and volume of urine, hot flashes, nausea, headaches and so on…….) so after a week I quit them because I just couldn’t take the side effects anymore. It has been a week since and the effects still persist and im currently having horrible urine retention and having to pee constantly. I haven’t slept over 3 hours in a week now because i keep waking up constantly.
So I would appreciate any kinda advice of what i should do now, I honestly feel like my whole life is on pause rn because I cannot leave the house and im so exhausted due to sleep deprivation. Idk if i should just go the urgent care or something because this is really starting to have an effect on my mental health
Yeah so currently having a massive flare up
(possibly because of trying medication that didn’t work for me, i had started to feel a bit better > started the meds > went back to beginning)
And I have plans to travel next week which in my current state would not be possible because of long car rides etc :/ i really don’t want to cancel my plans so I would appreciate any and all tips for what i can do to get even a tiny bit better in like 5 days
(I do live in Europe so some of the common medications i see people mention here are sadly not available to me)
I just got prescribed this by my urologist and am a bit nervous with starting a new medication 😅
What has been your experience with it? Did it work for you and did you have any side effects?
What has been your experience with supplements/medicine that has cranberry in them?
