  • Hello Gilli1976 and thanks for posting,

    I am sorry to learn about your symptoms and understand that not knowing what is causing them can be worrying.  People with unexplained symptoms often think the worst, but try and keep an open mind as there are likely to be a number of possible explanations aside from cancer.  Something can be wrong without it being too serious. 

    I'm afraid we aren't able to say what is the matter. It sounds like some swabs and a wee sample have been taken to check for infection which is routine, I'm not sure when the results will be back, but if they are ok, do speak to the practice nurse or doctor again to remind them of your symptoms and share you concerns. 

    I do hope that you find out more soon. If you want to talk to anything over please do give us a ring on Freephone 0808 800 4040, we are here weekdays 9-5. 

    Best wishes,

    Julia
