Thank you 💜 also not your fault that my post is not easy to parse! The ultrasound showed I fully emptied by their standards (a tsp left if I remember correctly). I have not had a urogyno or a urologist assigned to me, no. Because it seems like this isn’t a urinary problem to them. I also should have detailed this in my post, my Healthcare is the VA, I was serving in the military when the SA happened. Because of my Healthcare provider and the very rural place I lived until last month, elderly men are their main patients. A young woman does not have the same problems so I’m worried I may have been overlooked Anyway, if I am allowed to be a bit graphic: ::: spoiler Spoiler the spots I leave behind, when I’m not careful, look like inverse impressions of my genitalia.:::

I have no actual advice regarding the symptoms you’re experiencing - but I absolutely and completely suggest doing everything in your power to see someone outside of the VA. Anecdotally, I’ve been going through my VA for something entirely different and them not knowing how to treat younger women or listen to them has cost my health significantly. Please try to get out of the thumb of the VA if possible.

I think there’s supposed to be a line break in your spoiler for it to work, like hit enter after the word spoiler. But I don’t find that too graphic. How much moisture are we talking? Like it’s obviously visible if you’re leaving an imprint but are you leaving like a full on puddle? Does using a pad stop the imprint? I’d be inclined to believe that if a pad doesn’t stop it you might be on to something with the sweat theory. If that ends up being the case, I’ve heard good things about botox for sweat control.
