Don’t know which way to turn

Hi

I’m 74 and recently had a full abdominal ultrasound including a vaginal ultrasound.  It seems I have fluid in my uterus. My GP wants me to see a gynaecologist. I’m told this is something that you can live with, as the treatment looks pretty awful. 
my question is, do I need this looked at?

Since my last UTI 9 months ago I’ve had lower abdominal ache. It aches all the time, a bit like pressure.  Sometimes once  I’ve had a wee it aches  more as though I’m bursting for a wee to the point of aching. 

my GP wants to put me on an antibiotic tablet once a day for a month to see how I go on. could the two be related and if left could my uterus become more serious. 

thank you 

  • Hi 580Lupin and thank you for your post.

    I'm sorry to read about your situation. It does sound like this is a difficult time for you

    There are several reasons for fluid accumulation in the womb. A gynaecologist may conduct further tests to determine the cause of the fluid buildup.

    I am sorry that I cannot tell you if your abdominal ache and your fluid in your uterus is related. Only a gynaecologist may be able to determine whether the two are connected.

    I really hope you know more soon and that everything will be okay for you.

    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.

    Kind regards
