Hello Dr Rotman
I seem to have all the symptoms of Interstitial cystitis. Lower abdominal pain and referred pain down to my lower back and anus. Third occurrence. Previous two seemed to have responded to minocycline bid for 14 days.
I have retrograde ejaculation caused by a green laser procedure to remove calcium deposits from my urethra over 10 years ago. Can that be causing this issue?
I do not have urgency to urinate but I am now getting up once per night to pee. I void reasonably well. No pain while urinating or having an orgasm. No fever.
The main complaint is the abdominal (and lower back) pain that feels like my IBS has flared up (or at least what I used to think was IBS).
I am going for an urology work-up but wanted to pick your brain first. Thank you.
