Hi Everyone
Has anyone had similar symptoms?? Last week, when I went for a wee, I noticed that there was a little bit of blood on the toilet paper when I wiped (light pink) and a small "streak" in the toilet. I had been having a few stomach pains/twinges and just thought it may have been due to my age (47) and period related. Anyway, a couple of nights ago, I had to dash to the toilet for a wee around 5 times. I had not been drinking a lot, but just felt I needed to go. There was some blood on the toilet paper once again, and a small streak. There is no visible blood in the toilet at all. Also, I have felt nauseous a few times. I was still having a few twinges in my stomach/groin and right side of my waist.
I have been to the Dr's today. She asked if the blood was on my underwear (no) and said that any bleeding when you wee is not normal and needs investigating. I told her about the slight pain in my right side. She said that the Gallbladder is there and that I would be doubled up in pain from that (I am not). She felt around my stomach and said she could not feel anything.
I suppose the Dr's can tell from examining you, if there are any suspicious masses etc??? I really worry a lot!! She checked my ear and said that I had a temperature. My brother said that if it was anything sinister, you would not have a temperature. Do you think this is correct. She has given me Trimethoprin for 5 days and I have to do a urine sample. My brother advised me to do it quickly otherwise the antibiotics may start to cure any infection and nothing may show up.
I am hoping that it is just a water infection. My wee sometimes looks clear or yellow (not cloudy). Dr says if it is an infection, that's fine, but if nothing shows up, she may have to look at me again.
Any help or advice would be very appreciated:D:D
Thanks
