Hi
I will first apologise for the long post.
A couple of days after my period in September I had really bad pain in my lower abdomen area (which went away after taking painkillers and a heat pad) from then on I had pelvic pain every day.
Last week, I was at work and I had to go to the toilet. I had a whoosh of blood and although abit of an odd start to my period starting and being 10 days early. I did not think anything of it. I usually spot for seven days and then I have my period. I went back to my work and 10 minutes later I had a huge amount of pain in my lower abdomen and also lower back pain and I nearly collapsed. Work sent me to my local small hospital and they gave me antibiotics as they said it could be a UTI or my ovaries. When the doctor pressed down on my ovary I cried out in pain.
The pain had gotten worse over the weekend so I managed to get an appointment with my doctor who sent me to a bigger hospital to check out my kidneys and ovaries. The hospital took bloods and I had a CT scan on my kidneys and bladder - all turned out fine and the antibiotics has killed any infection.
At the hospital they refused to scan my ovaries. I’ve got to go back to the doctors to get a self referral to have the scan. I feel like I wasn’t taken seriously, meanwhile, I’m left in so much pain and I have a got a sick note for seven days for work which luckily I have holiday after to get over this.
I have repeatedly told doctors I have PCOS and my last scan was 6 or 7 years ago and my cysts where measuring 2-3cm on both ovaries. I’m feeling so disheartened.
