Pelvic pain, blood in urine - nothing wrong with bladder
Posted , 2 users are following.
I'm 38 years old, childless and have been on the Pill since I was 13, due to severe and painful periods. Currently on Brevinor which I have been on for about 8 years now
Early Feb, I started to get severe pains in my lower abdomen below my belly button. Went to the walk in centre a week after getting the pains and had a urine sample taken and discovered there was acute blood in there. Was diagnosed with a UTI and was given antibiotics and was told if symptoms of the pain don't go within 4 days - go to A&E. Still no change in the pain so I was taken to A&E and later transferred to another hospital's urology ward that night. Did an ultrasound and CT scans and found nothing.
Ten days after taking the week of antibiotics, I was given another course of antibiotics and then repeated that ten days after that. Still acute blood (its yellow with a strong smell and white bits in it) and pains and was referred to see an urologist. Plus the frequency to visit the loo has increased. Got a cancellation to see one three days later and referred to have a cystoscopy - again got a cancellation. Was all clear and been advised to see my GP and get referred to gynecology.
Since the pain, my period pains are worse and periods heavier. Normally, I just get a little lightheaded. Now I get the period cramps and pain two days before my period is due. My mum had fibroids removed when she was in her early 40s. My GP said on the scans my womb and ovaries were clear and fibroids are slow growing. Though I had the scan 8 weeks ago.
I am getting rather down with the pain, inability to sleep and the general tiredness. Also from time to time, I get a twinge pain on the back on the right hand side.
What do you think it is?

Were your kidney's checked too? Could be a small stone which may be breaking up into 'gravel'! Worth asking for another check if that has not been done. Kidney stones can be very painful, my daughter had one a few years ago,
