Afternoon all. I need a hand hold as I am going to have a camera up my urethra!
Had uti symptoms in March and the docs sent a sample off for testing and I was given 3 days of antibiotics. They then phoned a few days later saying there was no infection but microscopic blood in my pee. Doc scared me half to death saying it could be nothing, but need to check it’s not cancer. So referred me to urologist and a ct scan.
Finished the antibiotics but after a week the symptoms came back with a vengeance. Eventually I gave in as I was feeling so poorly and in so much pain, radiating to my back, my partner took me to a&e. Checked over (pee not checked which I though was odd) asked a load of questions and given a weeks worth of antibiotics and naxopram for the pain.
it all cleared but every now and then I still have urethra pain and a little pain in my bladder. Seems to be worse if I’m on my feet a lot/do physical things. Oh and chocolate seems to set it off?!!
Had the ct scan and the bladder was ok. A little distended and some debris in there. I do have large fibroids so have another referral for that. Doc didn’t really explain this very well as they seem to prefer to do things over the phone and as quick as possible.
Went to the urologist last week and he said given my age (49) still having the odd symptom and there was blood, I need to have a cystoscopy.
Yesterday while walking around all day while out and about I was having alot of pain in the urethra to vaginal area. After sitting and resting for a while the pain went and was ok for the rest of the day. No burning while peeing.
Could the pain be due to the fibroids / my age / bladder issues? Or all three!
So I guess how is the cystoscopy? I’m terrified! Seem to be conflicting reports from not being a big deal to being really painful! Trying not to over think it, but I’m worried it’s something bad. Sorry for the ramble, my brain is mushy!
