Pelvic pressure

After having a CT with contrast a week ago I am still experiencing vaginal pressure all of the time also when I urinate and the feeling of needing to urinate most of the time. This is totally strange since I have had multiple scans with contrast most with MRI's

A simple office pelvic exam will identify the reason for this and help treat it effectively.
Please see GYN and GI doctors, but assuming you have done this and our under their care consider asking them if perhaps this is just constipation

Evidence would be:

-Would a prep used for the colonoscopy temporarily fix the problem?

If so, consider starting with a clean-out like you have for the colonoscopies- or if you are not willing to do this start with at least 2 doses of Miralax per day. This should soften the stool. If not so then the Miralax dose should be adjusted in about 25% intervals every few days to achieve 2-3 soft BM's every day. Keep this up for at least a couple of months if not longer to let the colon return to its normal shape and elasticity-think about this like how long it takes for a body to bounce back after having a baby...

This may be as simple as a urinary tract infection. I would see your doctor and do a urinalysis first. If the CT scan shows nothing abnormal this may also be related to pelvic organ prolapse

It sounds like you may have a urinary tract infection and it is probably unrelated to the CT scan you had. Either way you should see your health care provider for a urine test and evaluation.

What was the original reason for the CT scan? What were the results.

Contact your physician and start of with a urinalysis.

Most CT scan with contrast is actually radiated iodine

You MUST have a blood test to determine your kidney function PRIOR to any CT scan with contrast

If you have not done that blood test, please do that ASAP.
