I have been tested for utis which are all clear, vaginal swabs which are clear.
I am having a feeling that I need to urinate, heaviness just above my public hone and burning sensations pretty much all day. It’s so hard to live with max I can’t work out any triggers.
The only thing that alleviates strangely is sitting on the bath in my towel and have the bath edge push up into that area. Could this be a pelvic floor issue? There’s so many similar conditions so finding it so hard to get relief. I’ve had it for 2.5 weeks And had ab attack like this that went away in January.
I have been to see a pelvic floor physio and she wasn’t sure but said I might have a very mild prolapse after childbirth but then saw a urogyn and she disagreed.
Any advice on this would be so helpful and if this sounds like a pelvic floor issue?

Hi Mary - sorry to hear you are so uncomfortable. It’s really hard to assess the situation fully but some follow up questions I might have for you:
- do you have pain on palpation? Was it painful to be assessed by the pelvic floor therapist?
- does the coldness of the side of the bath provide relief? Or just the pressure?
- does anything else bring you relief? For example Advil or anti-inflammatories? Pain medications? Cold packs etc?
Let me know and we can try to talk through a few more theories if that’s alright with you!
