Cheree-

I was just diagnoised with Endometrosis a little over a month ago when I had a lapraroscopy. About a month before I was diagnosied with Endo, I was having problems with peeing a lot. Really, a lot! Sometimes I had to go around 10 times an hour! At first my general doctor gave me antibotics for what was thought to be a UTI, which did not help me in my case. It only got worse, I tried to drink a lot of water and cranberry juice, but I had this sensation that I had to pee all the time! I went to get some X-Rays and then was sent to a uriologist...

All the blood tests came back negative for kidney disease, infection, etc... It finnally started to lessen after the doctor (my general doctor) gave me a Ditropan perscription. The only explaination was that I passed a stone or had Interstitial Cystitis. Which by the way, I read that the acid in cranberry juice is NOT GOOD for this condition. There are no tests for this condition, but they pretty much have to rule out other problems before they suggest that Interstitial Cystitis is what you may have.

I did not know, as the other woman stated in her reply, Endo and Interstitial Cystitis go hand and hand. This all just came down on me at once, so the pain from Endo and this "peeing" problem were so frustrating! I know this is long to read, but I JUST went through this within the last 2 months and I'm just trying to pass along what I learned. Hopefully, my advice will help you and you'll feel better:)

Anyway, the urologist told me that the perscription "Ditropan" may have helped relax my bladder and stop the spazams that were occuring. You may want to give this perscription a try, it made me VERY thirsty, but it may have been the one thing that helped in my situation...

Good luck and you can e-mail me directly if you like. Let me know what happens. Take care:)
