I would recommend getting a 2nd opinion if you don't feel your current gyno is helping you the way you need/want them to. You have to do what's best for you and that might mean seeking help somewhere else. You also might want to see a specialist for the cystitis as well since that is a different area than the reproductive organs. Also, I've heard acupuncture is a great way to treat the pelvic pain. I haven't had to use it myself but I've heard of many others using it. Just a thought...

I see a gyno and a urologist. They work together and share info. I still am in constant pain but at least I am FINALLY getting consistent pain management thru meds and therapy.

Thanks for your help. I will look for a urogyncologist.

I have not been diagnosed w IC yet although I'm pretty sure they will find it. It appears so far to me from what research I have done that u will have to see 2 doctors.

I think most male doctors don't really care bc they don't really understand the pain !! There's no way they know how we feel !
