Hi
I'm nearly 60yrs old & over last 6 months have had 4 UTI's, discomfort in my pelvic region (pulling & tightening which worsens when I stand for too long) & constant tickling/tingling sensation in my vaginal area. I was referred for ultrasound scan & internal scan which I had performed on 20th Mar 2021. A 2.5cm fibroid was found & my uterine wall measured 13mm. I was reassured there was nothing to worry about but after my Dr received scan results, I was immediately refered to Gynaecology & I attended appointment there on Mon 29th Mar 2021. I panicked as they wanted to do more internal examinations. Polyps on the cervix were mentioned (news to me) & I need hysteroscopy which terrifies me. I'm extremely afraid of any kind of internal procedure. I need to go back for this but have asked to be heavily sedated or have GA. I'm waiting on a response from hospital. Since then I've received literature mentioning cancer. I'm now utterly terrified. Why frighten me with this?
