scan update
« on: October 14, 2016, 07:32:38 PM »
Well I have had my scan and the lady who did it said that everything looked ok, ovaries looked ok, said it looked like someone in peri-menopause! LOL - so I guess that's good news but it doesn't explain the constant dull ache in the bottom of my stomach................... results are being sent to my doctor...

Hi robot wars, great news about your scan, you must be so relieved.
Have you been finding yourself needing to go pee more frequently? Im only asking this because I know discomfort from an irritated bladder can be felt low down in the stomach, I used to have this before I started treatment for VA. Just a thought.

Hi! yes I am relieved, I'm on Vagifem for VA at the moment, I do need to wee a lot, cant go all night, always have to get up to wee.... LOL , then I cant get back to sleep, just wish this heavy feeling in the bottom of my stomach would go away.................... when I went to see gynaecologist, he pressed on my lower stomach and that was soooo painful which is why he suggested the scan, so now I don't know what to think?

Glad scan was good news!

Are you on any supplements? Flaxseed Oil (and flaxseeds), for example, gave me a very bad pain in lower bowels for several weeks. I thought it had made me constipated but after I took laxatives the pain would come straight back (even just with the oil). I think it causes gas for some people. It finally stopped when I realised and stopped taking it.

Do you see the Gyane again?  Could it be slow transit in that the bowel gets bunged up = pain on pressure?

I see Gynae again in march 2017, he prescribed vagiflem, then wrote to my GP to say if I needed more that this he would suggest a Conti patch..... ummm, I thought it would have been sequi as I haven't gone a year without periods...
I also take a probotic pill..... I do also suffer with IBS,
Had a rubbish day today, IBS has been playing up all day, then I had to chair a meeting at work and brain fog kicked in, it was awful..................brain fog just seems to be getting worse! LOL
My Hubby made me laugh the other day, he keeps asking how I'm getting on with the Turkey blaster (Vagiflem).........and whether its helping, never heard it called that before.........

 :-\  …….  maybe he can now call it vaginal atrophy?!?

What do you call 'a lot'?  I have to get up at least once in the night and if I am not sleeping well, several times  ::).  The issue is not to withdraw fluids as the kidneys will work harder = more necessity to get up to pee.

Well I went to see the nurse at the doctors surgery today, and she took a sample and tested it and I still have a water infection, which I have had for a couple of months now, it seems the last lot of antibiotics didn't shift it, so she has given me 2 weeks worth and sent the sample off...........so maybe some of the discomfort could be due to this, the nurse did more today than the doctors do! LOL

Robotwars I just wanted to say that a friend of mine has had ongoing problems with a water infection for almost 8 months and taken several doses of antibiotics. She was getting nowhere until she insisted she saw a consultant to get to the root of it all. It turned out that although she had been constantly given strong pills, she hadn't been given the correct one for her infection.
If yours doesn't get sorted this time I'd look into checking you're getting the right antibiotics.

Robotwars  -  A urine infection cannot be determined in a surgery, the urine sample HAS TO BE sent to the Hospital Lab. for analysis to see if it 'growths' a bug.  Only then can the correct antibiotic be prescribed.  What Nurses tend to see are traces of blood ……. so immediately jump on the 'infection' bandwagon  :-\

You may need treatment for vaginal atrophy which of course costs the Surgery long-term.  But giving incorrect ABs can cause resistance for ALL of us across the World  :'(

Any 'infection' which persists after 3-4 weeks should be referred to a urologist!

she has given me trimophin, she said it was very cloudy and it was infected and she was sending it off and for me to phone back next week to check I'm on the right antibiotics.....I will phone up next week and then hopefully find out for certain if I have an infection

Cloudy urine does not signify an infection.  It really does depend on what you have eaten/drunk and what time of day the sample was handed over.  Let us know!  Have you started the AB and is there any change?

Yes you are right CLKD. Earlier this year I took a urine sample to the doctors, he tested it with a dipstick then announced I had an infection and prescribed an AB. He then sent the sample off to the lab and when  the results came back  they showed no infection present.
