New here

Hi everyone. I’m new here. 32 weeks pregnant and experiencing severe urethral pain for over a month. Doctors think the baby is on the nerves supplying the urethra. Cystoscopy was clear, no uti. Has anyone ever had this experience? Constant urge to pee and lightning bolts every few minutes shooting down my urethra. Doctors said it will go away after baby is born but I’m worried a vaginal birth may permanently damage the nerves. Thanks for any help you can provide!

It sounds like you have pudendal neuralgia.

I’m not a doctor so I don’t know if using some Amytriptyline or Nortriptyline while you’re pregnant is a possibility. Both of these meds are wonderful nerve pain medications.( but come with some risks and side effects ) I’d ask your doctors. It’s your call.

Hopefully, after birth the pudendal nerve calms down. Doctors can and do use pudendal nerve blocks during delivery for some ladies. I’d speak with your doctors.

Are you able to sleep?

Thank you so much! I will ask my OB about that this week. Really appreciate it
