My mum went to see her GP in Feb and during a urine test they discovered blood in her urine. In the interim time she has been on various antibiotics, had ultrasounds and IIRC an endoscopic procedure to ensure the bladder etc is all ok. She was also referred to the continence clinic as she frequently urinates (always have as long as I remember). They tested her urine and again it shows blood in her urine. They also said it contained glucose. She was given tablets to try and stop her urinating so much approx 2 months since by the GP. She was prescribed a different kind by the continence clinic and had to go to the GP yesterday. The Nurse Practitioner she saw said, again, the blood is nothing to be concerned about. That she doubt there was glucose because they had never picked it up before and administered the prescription the continence clinic recommended. when my Mum got the tablets, she cannot have them due to a heart condition. This happened with a previous course of tablets issued by the GP.
She said last night this is getting her down quite a bit. That she feels she is being brushed off. That no-one is listening to her.
So I offered to go to the GP with her. She can be quite timid about things and I have said I will make sure he GP makes a referral/further tests.
SO AIBU to help her with this?
