VA backache
« on: November 03, 2023, 10:27:06 AM »

Hi everyone,  just a quick question,  do any of you suffer with backache with VA?
I'm waiting at present for a cytoscopy due to blood in urine...which is stressing me out.  All my other symptoms seem to be VA related e.g uti like infection (no infection found), itching, stinging internal and external and discharge.
The constant backache along with the blood is  worrying me the most...have any of you had the same?
I'm on hrt oestrogel and utrogestan but nothing for VA as yet. Waiting for all these hospital appointments to be done first  :)

I don't think backache is related to VA but as you are awaiting a cystoscopy could it be kidney related. Is it one or both sides of your back? Upper UTIs can cause backache. Do you have any urinary analysis strips? They aren't 100% accurate but would give you an indication of possible infection. I buy mine from Amazon. I hope you feel better soon.

No infection found unfortunately as that would have made this less stressful. It's my whole lower back....will just have to wait for the cytoscopy and hope everything goes well. Thanks Taz
