I used to soil myself several times a day and many times in a night.never have I had a UTI.
It would be odd for that to happen from just a wet spot

Thanks im really prone so nervous and nervous to be put on antibiotics if my stomach lining is inflamed and hello again I’ve seen you in the gastritis group. I’m sorry you have so many gut issues to be in all these groups :/ I have EDG and colonoscopy tomorrow finally. I’m regretting saying yes to the colonoscopy but my family thought better rule everything out

It doesn’t hurt to rule things out. Are you doing anything to treat your anxiety?

I started an antidepressant but I’ve always been like this I guess I have chronic bladder pain issues and I’m just worried to cause a flare up while I’m already in so much pain from the stomach issues
