Blood in urine - undergoing tests

Hi

 

I feel a bit of a fraud coming onto this forum. I'm a 38 year old female, single mum of two. I'm just overwhelmed with my situation and not got anyone I can talk too.

last September I had a uti and visible blood in urine and pain at the end of urination. Urine test showed a infection. Again end of feb I had pain at the end of urination and visible blood in urine, a culture test showed no infection! However pain and blood cleared with antibiotics. 
 

ive had a ct scan which was normal, bloods normal and have a cystoscopy 26th May. It's the waiting for my cystoscopy that's making me ill. It's the unknown. I suffer greatly with health anxiety so this is driving me mad and doctor google doesn't help! 
 

I hope no one minds me posting. Wasn't sure were else to turn.

  • Hello CJdocc and welcome to the forum.

    The waiting is always tough but you're not alone as many of our members know how difficult it is to cope with the unknown and I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice. In the meantime, I hope these tips I've found will help.

    I'm not sure if you've had a cystoscopy before, but if not you can find out what to expect just here.

    Wishing you all the best with your appointment in three weeks time.

    Kind regards,
