Yet, many people must take vitamins for health conditions. Here are my top suggestions reducing pain related to vitamins.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Get checked for an infection <\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Sometimes a bladder infection (aka a UTI) is actually causing the pain<\/li>\n<li>In vulva owners, urethral pain can also be caused by a BV or yeast<\/li>\n<li>Vulva owners with pain should get tested for UTI, BV, and yeast because these infections can be happening as a combination and without a visible discharge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Drink the right amount of water<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Increasing fluids can dilute urine, making it less irritating to the bladder and urethra<\/li>\n<li>Aim for 48 to 64 ounces (1.5 to 2 liters) of water per day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Stop or reduce irritating drinks <\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Cutting down on fluids that bother the bladder and urethra can make pain from vitamins more manageable. The top offenders for bladder pain are coffee, alcohol, and most tea<\/li>\n<li>Some people are also sensitive to juice and carbonated beverages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Substitutions <\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Coffee\n<ul>\n<li>Low acid coffee<\/li>\n<li>Decaf<\/li>\n<li>Pero (coffee alternative)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Alcohol\n<ul>\n<li>Non-alcoholic substitutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Tea\n<ul>\n<li>Rooibos<\/li>\n<li>Chamomile<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Look for patterns to the pain <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some people notice that a food with artificial sweeteners worsens pain. Other people notice that certain brands of vitamins increase pain. Occasionally the buffering agent in the vitamin is the source.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Check out these resources for more great ideas<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/NVA.org\"><em>NVA.org<\/em><\/a> -&gt; For Patients -&gt; Self-Help Tips<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/ICHelp.org\"><em>ICHelp.org<\/em><\/a> &#8211; you may not have IC, but this site has 100s of good ideas for bladder pain (including more info on food)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Vulva Owners: lidocaine for pain flares<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Lidocaine applied topically can reduce urethra pain for hours. Some people react to inactive ingredients in lidocaine gels or are allergic to lidocaine itself, so always test a small amount first. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desertharvest.com\/Releveum\/\">Desert Harvest Releveum<\/a> is a recommended brand. Talk to your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Some people benefit from supplements for pelvic pain. <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pelvicsanity.com\/post\/2017\/06\/01\/the-best-supplements-for-interstitial-cystitis\">here<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Consider Prelief<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prelief.com\/\">Prelief<\/a> is an over-the-counter medication that reduces the acidity of foods and drinks, thereby reducing bladder and urethra pain. Prelief works best when combined with a reduction in trigger foods and drinks. Prelief can increase the chance of developing kidney stones, so always talk to a doctor before purchasing this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>Still stuck? <\/em>Visit a pelvic health physical therapist!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If a medical provider did not find a solution for the pain, consider seeing a pelvic floor PT. They can help you look for less common causes of bladder and urethra pain, such as pelvic floor muscle spasm, stress, or even constipation.
