Looking for some positivity

Evening everyone have been to my Dr's today with a lump in my side pelvis/abdomen I felt it a good 6 months ago and thought nothing of it as I suffer with constipation and sometime my stomach can be hard and bumpy but last Thursday I though mmmm that's still there so was seen by the nurse practitioner this morning my first though was a hernia as I can only feel it when standing up when I lie down or sit I can't feel it but she was adamant she could still feel it when I lay down she thinks it's about 1inch big did bloods why I was there and has done a referal for a scan not as urgent she says she thinks it may be gynaecologist related I had a hysterectomy 12 years ago but still have my ovaries bloods should be back weds but feel abit in limbo was just wondering if anyone has anything similar x

  • Hello Kerry2511

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some health concerns. It's good to know that you've already been to the GP practice to get things checked out and that the nurse has set the ball rolling with blood tests and an ultrasound referral. 

    We know that waiting for results can be a worrying time and it is normal for some people to have a degree of anxiety around things. Presumably, you have no other symptoms which is a positive thing to hear. Do let your GP know if anything changes but hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the ultrasound and some reassurance about what is going on for you at the moment. 

    Best wishes,
