Sudden urge to wee, bloating / pressure

Posting on behalf of my mum

She had urine infection few months ago , it all cleared up with antibiotics and all fine

Yesterday she suddenly felt like she needed to pee a lot, assumed urine infection. Spoke with pharmacy but he said because it didn't look cloudy not could you physically see blood he didn't think urine infection

Last night she started to feel bloated and a lot of pressure with the urge to wee

Was at docs today seeing a nurse (due to something else minor ) and she mentioned to nurse , nurse said it sounded like symptoms of urine infection and was sending urine of and was asked to collect prescription in morning

Nurse then phoned back after my my seen her, and said they had missed courier for urine so will have to do another one, she also said she thinks this may all to be do with age (65) and being more prone to urine infections, although she very rarely gets them

She then rang back AGAIN and said she now thinks the issues may be to do with her ovaries ?!

I have obviously googled, and worst scenarios has come up!!

She is providing another sample tomorrow. And has an appointment with docs Monday. But I am worried

Is this likely to be normal urine infection? Or something more sinister??

Could be an ovarian cyst. Don't panic. A lot of them are just functional cysts or non cancerous cysts.

What a brilliant nurse your mum has.
Don't worry too much, your mum seems to have a competent team batting for her. As PP said: most ovarian cysts are benign.

Hi, please listen to this brilliant award winning new podcast on chronic urinary tract infections (CUTIs), highly recommend if you're wanting to learn more about the little know topic of CUTIs. Its brilliantly researched and a really important topic everyone should be aware of that aims to help women advocate for themselves in the face of stubborn GPs and a medical world that has historically ignored womens health.
