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.
