Fallopian tube question

Hello, firstly I just want to say I am very calm and not freaking out,just more curious and feel able to deal with whatever is coming my way. It's a bit long so bare with me. I have been HPV positive for about three years now with yearly smears, I was then sent for a colposcopy at the beginning of the year and was told everything was ok but I needed to go back again in a year. That's fine. I am 45 so assumed I was going through the perimenopause and have been on HRT, all was ok with some unusual things happening but was assured it was normal, like bleeding heavily, more painful periods and I have bled in between periods with also pain in my ovaries (assumed it was ovulation) my consultant decided to send me for a transvaginal scan which I had done yesterday. It was very uncomfortable and a bit painful. The lady looked at my scan and asked for another doctor to come take a look but wouldn't say what was wrong. Except they could see some fluid in my fallopian tube and my tubes were inflamed. They then asked me loads of questions about pain, bleeding etc which I answered. I have no STI as I test regularly and have just had the results back today. All clear. They quickly shut me off and wouldn't tell me anymore information and just kept saying gynaecology will need to talk to me and decide what to do next. I'm ok as I said just more confused. Id rather know what's wrong that guess. My consultant is not back until Monday so I guess I have to wait. Some other things, my testetorone was high,I have been struggling with fatigue (again put this down to perimenopause) and low energy. I just feel a bit left and second guessing as no one would give me any answers. I'm guessing the reason is because what they say wasn't exactly good,they also kept moving the screen away so I couldn't see it. Sorry for rambling on. I feel quite positive as I said just a bit "left guessing" thankyou for reading x

  • I forgot to add I've also been experiencing some aching in my bones especially lower back, frequent trips to the toilet for a wee. All I assumed were due to Perimenopause.
