Hello,
I am 43 and have been experiencing peri-menopausal symptoms for a few years. I January I had change in toilet habit - I felt like I had a UTI and my pubis symphysis and pelvis was very tender to the touch. Samples were taken that suggested UTI (microscopic blood and leukocytes) I was given antibiotics but no change.
I had a repeat done & again still blood in urine & leukocytes. I feel that I have a heaviness in my lower abdomen much like period type cramps, as I’m on the pill I don’t have a period and feel the need to regularly empty my bladder. I was sent for a scan & they said my uterus was in odd position and that there was fluid in the uterine cavity. Following on from this I had a cystoscopy to check my bladder which found some cystitis.
I still have microscopic blood in urine, and was told I was being referred to gynaecology for the fluid - my appointment is 20/7.
I just wondered if anyone could shed light on the significance of the fluid.
I can chalk everything up to menopause, but at present the aching and cramping is constant.
thanks in advance x
