Fluid in uterus

Hello, I have had an aching pelvis for several months and back in October I felt like I was urinating more frequently. 
In January I went to the doctors as the pelvic bone felt incredibly tender as though it was bruised. They checked a water sample and it showed blood and leukocytes and from my symptoms and I had a slight temp I was started on anti-biotics as it pointed to infection. The sample was sent away and came back no growth.

i have had 2 further samples tested as are still showing blood and leukocytes and they still come back with not bacterial growth. I've been put on another course of antibiotics.

I was referred for a scan of my pelvis, this showed that "odd position of womb and fluid" so now being referred to Gynaecology.

I am 43 and peri menopause (I've been experiencing peri menopausal symptoms to roughly 4 years) I take Cerazette so have no periods. I had odd discharge following an internal but it occurred 2 weeks after the procedure.

I will be being referred to urology for the blood in urine with no infection.

my question is what causes fluid in the uterus and is it classed as a non-urgent referral?

thanks,

  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    It does sound like you have a lot going on a the moment in terms of your health so I am sorry to hear about this. It must be a worrying time for you.

    Be reassured that you are being referred to specialist teams to find out what is the matter. Please remember that these symptoms do not necessarily mean you have cancer.

    Fluid can happen in the uterus for many reasons such as polyps, infection and fibroids and in most cases it is not caused by cancer. 

    An urgent referral is made if there is a concern (by a doctor) that someone could have cancer, although most people will find out that they don't. If you are unsure what type of referral has been made then get back in touch with your GP practice as they should be able to tell you. 

    I hope you know more about your situation soon. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,
