23/1 Symptoms continuing to concern me

1 minute read time.

Hi all,

Having seen my GP last Tuesday I have finally got my urgent referral to a gynaecological consultant. GP agrees my symptoms more than warrant this. I am now hoping to see someone within 2 weeks  so fingers crossed.

My symptoms are really worrying me - I still have UTI symptoms despite finishing the course of antibiotics. That's two infections treated with quick recurrence. Also, I am now experiencing increasing pain in my lower back, more nausea and less ability to eat without feeling ill or uncomfortably full, and this evening stabbing pains in my right pelvic region. However, the cyst is apparently on my left ovary, let all the pain I get, including the back pain, is mostly on the right side.

I am constantly breathless, and get very tired and needing to sleep if I go out of the house or do anything other than sit down. And yet, barium xray, upper abominal ultrasound and pelvic ultrasound have picked up nothing apart from a benign hemangioma on my liver, a tiny polyp on my sigmoid colon and a small cyst on my left ovary, so none of these things add up to the kind of symptoms i am getting.

Trying very hard not to assume the worst but it's difficult not to ...

    Hi Sarah,

    Yes the mind is good at playing tricks on you when you dont know for sure what the problem is. Either way your mind will be at rest once you have had your consultation with your gynaecologist and some tests done.  I hope it all works out well for you

    and you get the results you expect. Look after yourself.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

    Hi

    I have had UTIs and its just a thought but the pain could be because there is still some infection in the kidney. Kidney pain is often mistook for back pain or even pain in the pelvic area. I have had kidney infections and they can be painful and strong antibiotics are needed, ive had two or three lots for a water infection before needing a stronger course. The infection made me feel sick all the time and very tired.

    Its just a thought and maybe your GP has already retested your urine??

    kind regards
