Sorry posting here for traffic.
I'm really scared. For 3.5 years now I've had bleeding between periods. It's always been brushed off or said to be nothing. Eventually this year I was referred for a pelvic ultrasound. Whilst waiting for this ultrasound, I've developed issues with my bladder - constant need to wee, and pressure in the area. Treated over and over again for a UTI but it never got better.
I had the scan on 5th Jan. Only just found out today that they found a "mass" on the scan, they think on my ovary, and they can't tell what it is. So I've been referred under 2 week wait for gynecology.
I'm petrified. I'm also really annoyed - I called the GP surgery twice trying to get my results only to be told they weren't in yet. Eventually I contacted the hospital who told me the results were sent the same day I had the scan! When I explained this the receptionist magically found my results, and that the GP had urgently referred and asked to speak to me.
If I hadn't chased it up I would've thought there was nothing wrong, and suddenly been blindsided with an urgent referral letter in the post.
I'm just so shocked and scared by all of this. I'm only 32. My only symptoms are irregular bleeding for a few years and frequent urination (which only started 5 weeks ago). Any positive stories of similar things that turned out to be nothing?? Or a handhold while I wait :(
