I'm currently waiting for an appointment with a uro-gynaecologist but would really value any insight from other people if you have had similar experiences. I'm not unduly worried as this has been going on for 3 months now and hasn't actually got worse (although not got better either) and my GP tells me there are no 'red flags'. It all started when I had what I thought might be a bladder infection, had pelvic pain, burning when passing urine etc. Had a short course of antibiotics and it got a bit better but the stinging sensation down below didn't resolve. I can pass urine without any pain but have a constant stinging/burning sensation that feels like it comes from my urethra. Nothing seems to trigger it or make it better, have tried cutting out all alcohol, caffeine etc to no avail. I had a pelvic scan which showed pelvic adhesions, some endometriosis, uterine fibroids and varicose veins of the uterus. My GP seems to be unable to tell me if any of these could be contributing to my symptoms (hence referral to gynae). The adhesions are from pelvic surgery but haven't been particularly problematic, had no idea I had endometriosis and didn't even know that what show up on a scan. I should mention that all swabs for infections have been clear and I've been told my cervix looks healthy and last smear a year ago was fine. Urine sample from lab also came back clear. Anyone else with any of the above problems had similar symptoms? It's starting to drive me crazy, I just feel so sore down there (not sore to touch at all though) and the stinging is making me so uncomfortable. I'm starting to worry I'm going to be told it's all in my mind which would be awful as I am sick of feeling so uncomfortable! Any advice or similar stories would be very much appreciated. Sorry for long post.
