Can it last months

Answered by Dr. Anders Mark Christensen (1 minute later)

Brief Answer:
If it does, see your doctor for another consultation

Detailed Answer:
Hi again XXXXXXX

It usually doesn't last that long. If it does you should consult your doctor again. It could be interstitial cystitis which requires urological consultation.

Best wishes.
