My problems with urgency and frequency began over a 1 year ago. I thought I had a UTI, went to internist and test came back negative. I have always had problems with constipation, so I thought that may be the problem. Went to GI, had a colonoscopy and found out I have IBS. O.k. tried Zelnorm and it worked for a bit. Constipation went away and frequency/urgency did too. One day frequency and urgeceny returns. Go to a urologist, he does a cystoscopy and says that everything is fine. Does a uroflow and says that my bladder is "emptying well". He rules out IC. Frequency and urgency continues then goes away and then comes back. Go to a gyn does a ultrasound and transvaginal. Find out I have an inverted uterus (never knew that before). Says my problems with constipation (Zelnorm is not working now) is causing the frequency and urgency. Contipation gets worse, I go online and research IBS diet, implement it and I am off of Zelnorm no constipation or frequency and urgency. I get a cold, don't take care of it and get a cold sore (2 days ago) and about the same time the frequency and urgency starts again. What I feeling right now is more of a cramping (lower back) with urgency. I have made an appointmet with a Gyn-Urologist, but I have to wait until April 15th. My question is should I ask for a hydrodistention? I don't have the pain that most of IC suffers discribe, nor do I have painful sex (it been a 7 months, but it did not hurt then), so I am confused about the possibility of having IC. Please advise
