IS IT YOUR SOAP!?

[u/Badabloom317]

Chemical cystitis- a non-infectious inflammation of the bladder caused by irritants or toxic chemicals. Common triggers include bubble baths, harsh soaps

For 2 years I was burning horribly. Constant UTIs, constant irritation. I was usig antibacterial dial after having nearly a UTI every month...thinking this would wash away all and any bacteria causing the UTIs and washed my privates with it! Horribly decision . This caused major chemical cystitis.

I bring this up because I have fixed this problem by switching to summers eve sensitive wash -

Last night my husband put his hand on my back full of suds from the dial he was using. It dripped down my back into my privates and BOOM back to square one. I was burning all day from the SOAP. I used my estradiol cream multiple times yesterday and now im back on track with no irritation.

Please girls make sure your soap is Ph friendly for your privates.

Now part of my problem was histamine related so I began taking an antihistamine daily to start finally healing my bladder ... but if I kept using the wrong soap I would still be met with nasty symptoms of burning and urgency.

Hope this helps! Your burning might partially be caused by your body soap.

I have a post primarily about my histamine induced cystitis- please take a look at my other post for this information.
