pain after intercourse continued..............

I posted yesterday about pain after intercourse and want to thank those of you who responded. It seems that whenever I read a post the next day it disappears............should I be marking it somewhere unread?? Anyway, the other pelvic problem I am having is a bout of cystits after the intercourse as well. I have been diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis in addtion to the gyn problems and stick to a fairly decent diet. I have had bladder instillations, etc, etc.... It just seems that every so often after intercourse I get bladder infections or just plain inflamation. So, in addittion to the pain with adeno and intercourse a day later the bladder sets in. I am having a really hard time with all this. Does anyone else have bladder problems along with gyn problems?? I have read that endometriosis, Interstitial Cystitis, Fibromylagia, Migraines, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Allergies all seem to go hand in hand. Or at least a lot of women have these same conditions in common. Just curious if anyone else has these problems with the bladder, especially after intercourse and what you do. I took Bactrim with dinner and will take it tomorrow and that should probably make it feel better. I have had bladder problems my whole life and have antibiotics on hand for hwne htese situations arise. There was a time that my uro had me take them prophylactically prior to and after intercourse. Oh well, hopefully tomorrow will be better day. I have to go in for my pre-op testing............then Mon is the surgery.
Thanks again,

I just replied to your other post then found this one a little farther down the line. I had a similar thing happen to me a couple of weeks ago. I was post-period (day 12 or so) and I had this really bad afternoon. I woke up with low backache and abdominal cramping/discomfort. By noon it was more along the lines of painful - plus I had all the symptoms of a bladder infection! I laid down for about 45 minutes (feeling like I had to pee the entire time) and when I woke up the bladder thing was gone altogether. I still can't figure this one out. I swear, I went to sleep thinking I needed to get to the store for cranberry juice!

I am just SO hoping some of this weird stuff gets taken care of after surgery!

Good luck and keep posting - every little bit helps all of us!
