Hi, I am new here and hope I am posting this in the correct forum.
I wondered if anyone could help me.
For the past 4-5 months I have been having problems with my abdomen, bowel movements and urine.
I started having non specific pains in my stomach. Mostly in the right lower side but I do get them in the left side also. I tend to find it easy to pass stool first thing in the morning (it is usually diarehea) the rest of the day I am constipated and it is painful to go. The stool varies between light brown to dark brown with black bits. My urine frequency has increased, sometimes it is cloudy. It never hurts to pass, but it can differ on the rate it passes i.E sometimes I feel like I wnat to go and only a little bit comes out. On a dip test the urine came high for protein and blood but was cleared when it was tested for a urinary tract infection.
My periods have changed slightly, I tend to pass alot of clots in the first few days. The last period I had I passed some brown blood for two days before my period ( never had that before) and I continued to spot brown blood 6 days after my period had ended.
My doctor felt my stomach and I felt some pain when she pressed in an area in my right lower side. However she did not do an internal.
I keep having shooting pains on both my right and left sides in the area where I guess my ovaries are. I got up one morning and it hurt really bad.
On another recent occasion I was unable to pass stool for a day. The next morning, I did, as I did I had a stabbing pain in my left side and it remained for the rest of the day. During this day I also had an intense pain around my pelvis area which left me unable to move for about 10 minutes and continued to be painful everytime I moved, resonating towards the anal area.
Now I am having another period and it is following the same pattern as my last one. I am very fatigued and felt very sick last night. Also, I touched my right ovary area and it was very very painful.
Sorry this is so long but I hope someone has some ideas.
Originally my doctor diagnosed ibs, but then changed her mind. I am waiting to have an ultrasound but the appointment is taking ages to come through.
Thankyou for reading.
