So last Saturday I posted my first post and it was very desperate. In the meantime, I have had a lousy week, back to see the urologist who has given me more anti-biotics for a UTI and also recommended a trans-vaginal scan. That showed a small abnormality on my left ovary which led to me being referred to a gynaecologist.
Eureka!! I have just seen a lovely man who said I have a very small ovarian cyst and he would like me to have a further scan just to make sure everything is fine but he doesn't think it is anything to worry about. He examined me and said the skin of my vagina is a bit thin as he would expect on a woman of my age (56). There was also a small amount of thrush present (not surprising after all the anti-biotics).
However, he said that ALL my other symtoms are menopause-related. He has prescribed Elleste Duet 2 mg and Vagifem and is fairly confident that I should feel a lot better in 2-3 weeks.
I have also had some blood tests done and need to go back and see him in 2 weeks. I feel so much more positive!
