I went to my gyn for urethral pain a couple of weeks ago. He noted that when he felt my urethra from inside my vagina it was inflamed and it was VERY painful for me. He sent me off to a urologist who perscribed pyridium 3 times a week, 3 pills a day along with an estrogen cream for use on the outside of my urethra. I was a little confused by him perscribing me the estrogen cream as I am not very dry in the area (he said that might be the problem since I have endometriosis and take Lupron injections for it) and most of my pain comes from the urethral tube but I thought I'd give it a try. Needless to say it hasn't helped that much and the pyridium makes me vomit every time I use it while the estrogen cream just produces an uncomfortable sensation.

Has anyone else had a problem like this and if so what was your treatment? The pain is in the uretral tube and opening. Urinating sometimes makes the problem worse, but I do not have any bacteria in my urine and do not have to go more frequently. Most of the time I feel the pain without urinating though. I do tend to feel pain in the area during intercourse but that could also be somewhat of a result of my endo.
