Thread: it's always one thing after the other...

last week i went to the doctor's for pain in my abdomen. i was not sure if it was bladder pain or gynological as i have had issues with both in the past (uti's, endometriosis, cysts & yeast/bacterial infections), but i know the only way to find out is to seek a professional opinion. they did a urinalysis to rule out any possible infections, come to find out there is microscopic blood in my urine. now it is exactly a week later & my doctor's office called to say they did not find enough bacteria in my urine to make a firm diagnosis, but since i am having pain & trouble urinating they want me to come in for a follow-up appt. next week. i'm trying not to freak out but the first thing my mind jumps to is the big c word. i have way too much going on in my life right now to have yet another bothersome health problem to get in my way, but it looks like i'm stuck. i tried to do a google search but it was inconclusive... have any of you ladies had microscopic blood in your urine, no infections & were properly diagnosed? could it be from my endometriosis? any help would be appreciated.

I've never had those symptoms before, but try not to jump to conclusions so quickly. It might be something minor, you never know. Breathe, it will be okay...one day at a time!
