Clitoral Discomfort, Bladder Issues & No Infection—What’s Going On?

Hey everyone,

I’m a 24-year-old healthy woman, and I’ve been dealing with persistent discomfort in my pelvic area for over a month now. I originally had a UTI and trichomoniasis, both of which were diagnosed and treated successfully. However, even after my test results confirmed that the infections were gone, I still have lingering symptoms that won’t go away.

Symptoms I’m Experiencing: • A constant mild irritation in my clitoris, sometimes feeling swollen. • A pulling sensation in my clitoris when standing up or moving a certain way. • Feeling like I never fully empty my bladder, but urine tests and ultrasounds show no issues. • A burning or stinging sensation during the first pee in the morning (but not throughout the day). • Occasional vulvar irritation or warmth, especially after sex. • A strange feeling of being wet when I’m actually not. • The clitoral discomfort and bladder symptoms get worse when I’m on my period.

What I’ve Done So Far: • Urine tests, blood tests, urinalysis, and a CT scan → All came back normal. • Gyno tests for STIs and vaginal infections → Completely negative. • Took probiotics, drank cranberry juice, and tried natural remedies like horsetail tea and bicarbonate. • Noticed mild improvement over the past two weeks, but symptoms still linger.

Possible Causes I’ve Considered: 1. Post-infection irritation or inflammation (how long does this last?) 2. Pelvic floor dysfunction (tight muscles affecting nerves?) 3. Nerve-related issues (pudendal neuralgia?) 4. Hormonal imbalance (since my period makes it worse) 5. Residual irritation from antibiotics or past infections

Questions: • Has anyone experienced something similar? • Could this be a lingering pelvic floor or nerve issue rather than an infection? • Would pelvic floor therapy help? • Any recommendations for medications, supplements, or home treatments?

I appreciate any insights or personal experiences! This has been really frustrating, and I just want to feel normal again. Thanks in advance!
