1. Do not take rice, bread or other starch foods if it happens to be a dinner after 7.00 PM. Try to take your dinner ( last meal of the day) before 7 PM. This gives you at least 3 hours before you go to bed. Chew your food thoroughly before you swallow every morsel.

2. Sit in a bath tub across the width of the tub, resting your back against the wall and resting your feet on the other side of the length. Fill up water up to your naval and keep sitting for 20 to 30 minutes followed with a full shower, wetting the head also.

3. Daily practice deep breathing exercise (Pranayama). Each unit of breath has 4 parts to be done very slowly, softly and as much prolonged duration as possible. Repeat this for 15 times each day.

4. Expose your pelvic region (bladder) to direct sunlight (in the privacy of your room where Sunlight comes in .

5. Keep a wet towel over the bladder area for 10 minutes.

Keep a log for every day and make sure that the chart is regularly and check that you have followed it sincerely.

Find yourself a good Naturopathic Physician, to do further testing to asceratain if UTI, or something else is the problem. And if this is the case, then this Physician has the best possible, non-lethal method(s) to deal safely with your problematic concerns....OK?!!! Amen?!!! GOD "Bless" Amen & Amen!!!

How was is determined that you do not have a UTI? It is possible to have a low-grade urinary tract infection, without obvious odor, discharge, burning, blood in urine, etc, especially in females over 50. I wold recommend running a urine analysis, if it has not been done. I would recommend that you avoid foods that may irritate the internal lining of the urinary bladder, and also use natural herbal remedies and supplements in order to strengthen the lining, and prevent recurrent infections. I also recommend that you drink ample amount of pure water. If it is not a UTI, and your symptoms persist for a couple of weeks, I would recommend further testing, including imaging. etc

Because you have two complaints, frequent urination with pain after, my suggestion to you is to see your OB/GYN immediately to rule out bladder or kidney infection. Certainly drinking water is essential, but you also need to discontinue drinking coffee and alcohol as these can be irritating to the bladder. The frequent urination is probably your body's way of trying to wash out the invading microbes However, this should be discussed with your OB/GYN and do it quickly.

You have been tested for UTI and you do not have one. The pain could be from a number of things. Sometimes stones are starting to develop, although I don't think that's what it is. You didn't mention if you are post-menopausal. This would be good to know. What happened that was different in your lifestyle? Stress is also a factor here. How much water are you consuming during the day? Make sure you are taking in half your body weight in ounces per day to stay hydrated. I am wondering if your bladder is just not completely emptying out. Other questions I have are how long before bedtime are you consuming any liquids? I would stop drinking anything at least 2 hours prior to bedtime. A suggestion I would make: I would try one bottle of Saw Palmetto and see if the condition does not clear up within a month's time. Saw Palmetto is often indicated for men with prostate issues, but it has been used quite effectively for women as well. Also, sometimes, when you push the time that your body wants to go to bed at night to sleep, it will trigger you into heading to the bathroom at some point during the night. Is this happening at a regular time every night? Yes. Makes a difference in what might be going on. So, get on the Saw Palmetto. It should stop the getting up in the middle of the night bouts. Get the Source Naturals brand (no added garbage in it) and take 1 softgel between breakfast and lunch and another 1 between lunch and dinner with big glass of water. How long it takes is different for everybody. I wish you well. Let us know how it worked for you and if the pain still exists. To me, this is the cheapest, easiest solution. Rule it out and we can go from there. I wish you well.

When you go through menopause, your tissue can thin, causing pain without UTI. One option is compounded estrogen.

I would recommend going into your provider to be tested for a urinary tract infection. As mentioned in other posts, you would also want to rule out kidney stones as well.

You may have a bladder/kidney stone. Drink plenty of pure water, pinch of baking soda + 1/4 tsp of apple cider vinegar/ 1/2 tsp of lemon juice.

Anyone who's ever experienced the pain (and sometimes agony) of a kidney stone may have thought afterward, "Wouldn't it be great if they came up with something that could prevent that?"

As is so often the case in science, such visualizations are the same as those of researchers. In this instance, a dietary supplement with the power to dissolve the little troublemakers before they wreak havoc in your system may be the solution.

Researchers at the University of Houston (UH) are calling it a possible "prevention tool." You may be thinking that if it could actually do that, it might be more like a wonder drug.

Calcium oxylate crystals, which make up the bulk of these minute-but-mighty troublemakers, are essentially hard mineral deposits that form in the kidneys.

The problem starts when they become lodged in your urinary tract and won't budge. One or more may restrict the flow of urine, causing another level of discomfort. According to MedicineNet.com:

"The calcium oxalate crystals that are the most common component of kidney stones, [are the] mineral deposits that form inside the kidneys. They may get stuck in the urinary tract, blocking urination and causing great pain."1

If the stone happens to be small, it may pass through your urinary tract unnoticed. But if it's a large one, it's not pleasant. Daily Mail reported that in Hungary, the largest kidney stone ever recorded weighed nearly 2.5 pounds.2 Needless to say, larger stones require surgical removal.

Kidney Stone Symptoms

The technical location for kidney stones is the tube that connects your kidney and bladder, called the ureter. When they develop, the previously referenced symptoms3 can include:

A persistent urge to urinate

Fever and chills (indicating infection)

Bloody and/or cloudy urine

Pain when urinating

Episodes of pain lasting 20 minutes to an hour

Nausea and/or vomiting

Pain radiating down your side and back to your groin and lower abdomen

Hydroxycitrate From the Garcinia Cambogia: Possible Kidney Stone Prevention

The study, published in Nature4 in mid-2016, described the development of the kidney stone supplement, an extract of a compound called hydroxycitrate from the Asian garcinia cambogia fruit, also known as Malabar tamarind.

Hydroxycitrate is capable, under certain conditions, of not only dissolving the crystals but also inhibiting their growth. If all goes as they hope, hydroxycitrate would be the most dramatic advance in treating kidney stones in three decades.

Scientists expect the supplement will be a viable alternative to potassium citrate (such as the brand Urocit-K5) which, while it's effective in relieving kidney stone-passing pain, often includes side effects that rival the misery of what they they're designed to remedy:

Upset stomach

Nausea

Vomiting

Diarrhea

Cardiac arrest

However, rigorous trials in humans have not yet begun. It's actually just a concept, so far, but one that makes sense. Jeffrey Rimer, lead study author and associate professor of chemical engineering at UH, said he and his colleagues conducted a combination of studies, some experimental.

Studies Involving Hydroxycitrate

According to Science Daily,6 in studies pitting citrate (CA) against hydroxycitrate (HCA), both inhibited calcium oxalate crystal growth, but the latter was "more potent and displayed unique qualities that are advantageous for the development of new therapies."

"The team of researchers then used atomic force microscopy, or AFM, to study interactions between the crystals, CA and HCA under realistic growth conditions … the technique allowed them to record crystal growth in real time with near-molecular resolution.

[Jihae] Chung [a UH graduate student who worked on the study] noted that the AFM images recorded the crystal actually shrinking when exposed to specific concentrations of HCA.

Rimer suspected the initial finding was an abnormality, as it is rare to see a crystal actually dissolve in highly supersaturated growth solutions. The most effective inhibitors reported in the literature simply stop the crystal from growing."

What Chung saw turned out to be accurate, precipitating the next step: determining how and why the crystals shrank. Two other study authors applied density functional theory (DFT):

" … [A] highly accurate computational method used to study the structure and properties of materials … to address how HCA and CA bind to calcium and to calcium oxalate crystals.

They discovered HCA formed a stronger bond with crystal surfaces, inducing a strain that is seemingly relieved by the release of calcium and oxalate, leading to crystal dissolution." 7

The next step required that humans be included in the testing, so seven participants took hydroxycitrate for three days, which was long enough for researchers to establish that it was expelled through their urine, one of the requirements for using the supplement as a treatment.

While long-term safety needs to be established, as do dosages and more trials on humans, Rimer believes the initial findings are promising:

"If it works in vivo, similar to our trials in the laboratory, HCA has the potential to reduce the incidence rate of people with chronic kidney stone disease."8

Giannis Mpourmpakis, Ph.D., another study author and assistant professor of chemical and petroleum engineering at Pittsburgh University's Swanson School of Engineering, said:

"We were very excited to identify a molecular-level mechanism under which calcium oxalate grows and degrades in its natural environment. Eventually, this will help us control the crystal's life cycle."9

Stats on Kidney Stones

The healthiest kidneys function in a number of ways for optimum health. Most importantly, they filter all the blood in your body every half hour, removing waste and excess fluid, according to the National Kidney Foundation.10 They also:

Regulate your fluid levels

Activate vitamin D for strong bones

Release the hormone for red blood cell production

Keep blood minerals in balance

Release a blood-regulating hormone

More than half a million people in the U.S. hit the emergency room for relief from what is often termed excruciating pain from kidney stones. Unfortunately, the condition is becoming more and more prevalent. To date, they affect what's estimated to be 12 percent of men and 7 percent of women. Harvard Health reports:

"For many, kidney stones aren't a one-time thing: In about half of people who have had one, another appears within seven years without preventive measures. Most stones occur when calcium combines with one of two substances: oxalate or phosphorous. Stones can also form from uric acid, which forms as the body metabolizes protein."11

Kidney stones also increase your risk of developing chronic kidney disease. Sobering statistics include:

High blood pressure and diabetes are the two leading causes of kidney disease12

Around 26 million American adults have kidney disease and don't know it

One in 3 American adults are currently at risk13

Kidney disease is the ninth leading cause of death in the U.S.

Every year, kidney disease kills more people than breast or prostate cancers

Kidney disease is the ninth leading cause of death in the U.S.

African Americans are 3.5 times more likely to have kidney failure14

Once kidneys fail, either dialysis or a kidney transplant is required

In 2013, more than 47,000 Americans died from kidney disease15

Every day, 13 people die waiting for a kidney16

Ways to Prevent Kidney Stones

Most doctors know that one of the most prevalent causes of kidney stones (aka nephrolithiasis) is dehydration, so drinking plenty of water is one of the best ways to prevent their development. Conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity increase the risk.

Another recommendation is to limit your protein intake to one-half gram of protein per pound of lean body mass, which would place most people in the range of 40 to 70 grams daily (1 1/2 to 2 1/2 ounces). If you're prone to kidney stones, excess amounts of red meat can be especially problematic because it decreases the levels of citrate, the chemical in urine that helps keep kidney stones from forming in the first place.

Most Americans consume far more protein than they need, which can exacerbate problems with kidney stones. When you consume more protein than your body needs, your body must remove more nitrogen waste products from your blood, which stresses your kidneys.17 Chronic dehydration can result. Doctors also encourage people at risk for kidney stones to pass up foods containing high amounts of oxalate,18 including:

Swiss chard

Beets

Tea

Sweet potatoes

Rhubarb

Chocolate

Okra

Almonds

Spinach

However, these foods contain high amounts of magnesium, which helps prevent calcium from blending with oxalate, the most common kidney stone type. Magnesium is a mineral that has the capacity to prevent kidney stones — if you get enough.

Magnesium deficiency is estimated to affect as much as 80 percent of the American population. It's been associated with kidney stone development because it plays a part in the way your body handles calcium. Too much calcium can become toxic, so there needs to be a balance.

I assume you've been tested to determine that you don't have a UTI, yes? Have you had your blood sugar levels and A1C checked? Along that line, have you had any comprehensive Blood Test done in the last 90 days?

More information would be required regarding your general health in order to make an accurate assessment. However, if there is a pre-disposition towards rheumatoid arthritis your bladder may be inflamed. Bladderwrack tea might be a good solution since it is nourishing, soothing and possesses anti-inflammatory properties.
