Hi I'm just seeing if anyone else has been in a similar position to me and can give advice / reassurance,
i went to my gp early August because I had been having extremely heavy and irregular periods with a lot of spotting between periods also. She examined my cervix and pelvic area and said everything looked ok but took some swabs which came back clear and referred me for a pelvic ultrasound and a colposcopy as I had also had some bleeding after sex. (Had my smear test in January this year and it was clear).
I had my pelvic ultrasound in September and whilst having it the lady doing it asked could she do a transvagnal ultrasound to get a cleared picture but she wouldn't tell me of what nor did she reassure me that there was nothing wrong, two days later I seen my gp and she told me the scan showed that I had Adenomyosis, a large cyst on my right ovary and an abnormal growth on my bladder. She did my bloods and referred me for an MRI.
CA-125 levels came back normal, since then Iv been having extreme pain in my lower left abdomen which I visited my gp because of, she did an examination and said she could feel a round hard ball type thing so she wanted me to go to a&e for investigation, she also gave me antibiotics to take, the pain wasn't extreme enough that I felt the need to go to a&e so I didn't and just took the antibiotics but the pain is always there it's a dull pain but gets worse at times. I have my MRI next week and after that I really don't know what I will find out.
sorry that this is so long but I'm just hoping someone else has been in a similar position so I can hear how things turned out.
