Hi,
My health anxiety had decreased for months and I was getting back on track with my life and everything was going well until a few weeks ago..
I don't mean for this to sound insensitive but someone I know of died of cancer a month ago and now someone else my age (20) has been diagnosed with it and it's really made me question my symptoms/body because all I can think about is if I have it or if I develop it, that I wont recognize the symptoms and it'll be too late.
Firstly I've had cramps around my lower abdomen for months and I've been to the doctors with it before with worries about cervical cancer and they checked my stomach and said it was all fine but they'll arrange for a scan to keep me reassured, which they haven't done yet.
But I've noticed that I wee quite alot during the day and get up 3-4 times in the night to go, around the same time the doctor checked my stomach she told me to take a urine sample, which I did, and she said that I have blood in my urine and that I just need to take antibiotics and it will go.
But I cant help but think there's something bad going on that the doctors haven't picked up on, because I wee so much and there's blood there too, I'm starting to worry.
Has anyone any advice other than to go back to the doctors? (which I think is my best bet)
Thankyou.
