Hello,
I have been having a situation going on with me since late July/August. Whenever I went pee it would hurt so bad and sting to the point where I needed to leave work. It had been going on for about 2 weeks, (at first not as painful but then the pain increased drastically) I was waiting for an appointment with my Gyno because I thought it had something to do with my other lady parts (at the time I was 9mos. PP) when that really strong pain hit I went to the urgent care and they did a urinalysis where I had blood in my urine for the first time ever but no infections, so they just prescribed me pain meds. I still went to the appointment when the time came with my Gyno to which she said everything looked perfect and she wasn't sure why I was experiencing pain, but if it kept up I should see a urologist. However with me being a teacher I do not just have time to miss work, and I forgot about making that appointment. The pain dulled and I only felt sharp stinging when I peed (along with the urgency and frequency, but still I could somewhat tolerate it) sometimes, nothing to the point of extreme, until just this past week. I was at work and immediately Asked to find a sub and went right to the urgent care (I felt like my whole body was on fire because it hurt so bad down there) the first thing they did was a urinalysis because I suspected a UTI, however still no infection came back and there was a trace of blood in the urine. Doctor recommended I definitely see a urologist. I already have an appointment with the urologist, I am
1. Wondering what I should talk to her about exactly.
2. How do I make sure the testing gets done and not shooed out of the way?
and
3. Am I making a big deal out of nothing? Could it be bladder cancer?
