Symptoms

Hello

This is my first post I'm looking for some advice really as I am reallly worried. I have had UTI symptoms of pelvic pressure and strong urge to pee but no UTI on and off for nearly a year now however Friday the pain was very bad and I was passing very dark blood for the first time. By Saturday I was feeling better and urine clear for a few days then blood and pain again today.  Rang Go and they said to go in today today, no infection and has ordered more blood tests, said she doesn't think it is UTI or kidney stones but would not speculate further only that she would seek advice from a urologist. Now I've done what I tell everyone not to and google my symptoms and they all fit with bladder cancer so now I'm really worried. If it is I'm worried about how fast I can get treatment and what I can do if anything.  Apologies for the long post, I'm 44 and am relatively healthy, not over weight and don't smoke, hardly drink, not sure if that has any bearing on it at all. Anyone with the same experience that can give me some advice on what to expect, thank you x

  • Welcome to the forum MeByTheSea although I'm sorry for the reason you're posting.

    It's always a tad scary contending with unexplained symptoms but I'm glad your GP is running further tests and hopefully the correspondence they receive from the urologist will bring good news.

    As you've found out, it is tough to stay away from Dr.Google, but do try and stop yourself from here on out as it will only make your fears and worries worse. 

    Fingers crossed it won't be long until you find out what happens next and hopefully you'll hear from some of our members soon.

    Kind regards,

  • Thank you, my GP requested another urine test yesterday and let me know this morning that they have sent off a two week wait urgent referralto urology so hopefully will hear from them soon.
