What test will a gynaecologist specialist do?

[Clairebear1993]

Hi there, I've been suffering with some pain for possibly 3 years or more. The beginning of last year i was referred to a urologist as doctors kept finding blood and white cells in my urine making them think its infection and they kept prescribing me antibiotics which never helped. I visited hospital on a regular basis i had numerous bloods, scans and examinations all come back normal. I then went through with a bladder cystoscopy and hydrodistension biopsy in January 2014, nothing found. I met with my urologist yesterday and he has said there's no more he can do so he's referring me on to a joint clinic which specialises in women who have symptoms and pain that are not related to infection. He says its uncommon but it does happen. Im nervous as i don't know what other examinations they might perform but i do have a lot of stomach pain, stabbing, dull aches and bloating, also nausea loss of appetite and slight back discomfort, I'm also pale in the face. Can anyone help please I'm very stressed and nervous.

Thankyou

Hi there. Normal tests are blood (ca125 ) , ultrasound, CT scan and transvaginal. If your worried about the tests themselves don't be they are all simple and straight forward. It is good you are getting checked out properly. X Trish

It is like an internal ultra sound.

Internal ultrasound and needle aspiration might be done as well as bloods x

Ask them if they are carrying out a CA125 test and if they aren't, ask them to do one (just a blood test). Good luck. Ann xo
