Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about your symptoms of frequent bathroom visits. It is true that a UTI can present with exactly with the same symptoms and is the most likely cause of such symptoms in most people. However, anything that causes the bladder to have a reduced filling volume like a mass in the pelvic region compressing the bladder, would produce the exact same symptoms. The fact that you have not felt any better after receiving this treatment of a possible UTI and the feeling of a foreign body warrants a doctors visit. I would like you to meet with an BGN and get examined. Also, your doctor should consider doing an abdominal ultrasound to look for possible growths that may explain your symptoms and require a different treatment option. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask for more answers if need be. I wish you well.
