Hi im new here and feeling a bit overwhelmed.
to cut a long story short- ive been having what i thought was recurring UTI since April. Each time i get the usual need to pee urgent every hour or less, burning at the end of peeing, lower back ache and low pelvic pain, feel bloated and changes in bowel habits. On each visit to GP urine has shown leukocytes, but then no culture growth. Fast forward to today 4th episode since april i saw a new lady doctor and i dont think ive spent as much time with a gp in yrs! Urine dip showed leukocytes again plus protein. She went over all the history of the past few months and said shes not convinced its urinary related. She wantts to rule out maybe ovarian cancer though shes not worried at present and has ordered CA125 , full bloods and other tests. Im already waiting for ultrasound from previous visit though this was ordered for kidney bladder and uranary tract so probably wont include ovaries. Im a bit scared as i know something is not right
