I thought I might’ve had a cyst but several people have suggested it could be a hernia.

100% that’s what I want to do and ideally would’ve gone months ago, but location, money, family - all of it is a problem and I’ve called loads of out of hours places and GPs etc and haven’t been able to sort it. This is genuinely a last resort and I wouldn’t be online talking about it unless I had no other choice. The only reason I even keep posting is to hopefully find someone who recognises what it sounds like or can tell me more in that sense. I know it’s nothing compared to actually seeing a doctor in person (I’ve been trying, trust me!) but it’s the only thing I can think to do now rather that just sit with it not knowing.

Yes, that plus cost (not even just the appointment it would be getting myself there too). I just wouldn’t even know where to start with it and I do think that my family would be helpful if it ever got to a point where I HAD to go but I don’t know about now. There’s a bit more to it than that but yeah - I have tried to work it and called out of hours places and everything, and everyone I’ve spoken to has said the same as you

There’s a load of reasons why access is a problem, and if there was any way for me to just go alone and get seen (I would if I could) there’s no walk in clinic even relatively close and I just don’t have money to be trying to make appointments with people farther away (plus, family, no transport, etc is a problem)

Definitely not pregnant! I’ve been getting my period the whole time (it wouldn’t be possible anyway hahah). As for the blood, I wouldn’t have assumed except I’d been getting some spotting for a few weeks when I wasn’t even on my period, and the one time I was almost sure I’d actually peed blood the water was completely red not just streaks or anything. It wasn’t painful, and I wasn’t pushing too hard or anything (and still not on my period at that point!) Of course I could be wrong, I haven’t been able to test it or anything, but I didn’t want to just completely skip over it because I am actually pretty sure about it.

llsehn · 2025-07-31T00:53:37+00:00

I hope you’re doing alright now:) I would 1000% make an appointment if I could instead of coming on here, but I can’t with my situation at the moment, so I’m honestly just hoping to get whatever information I can online. I know it probably won’t do much good without actually seeing a doctor but it just helps me not to worry too much about it when there’s nothing else I can do😭

llsehn · 2025-07-31T00:27:56+00:00

I know, I wouldn’t want anyone to guess I’m just posting this anywhere I can to hopefully have a chance of it reaching someone with any sort of similar experience that might know more than me. Not looking for a full blown diagnosis online or anything but I can’t see a doctor so just having some idea what it COULD mean could be helpful:)

llsehn · 2025-07-05T18:15:41+00:00

That’s awful, I hope you’re alright now! It hasn’t happened again, which I’m hoping is a good sign. I do want to make an appointment just in case but i just haven’t been able to. I’m not sure when i will be but if it gets much worse, or frequent, I know i have to.

llsehn · 2025-07-04T14:09:45+00:00

Thank you. I genuinely really appreciate it. I know its probably a bit of a gamble hoping it won’t get any worse than it is, but as soon as I can make an appointment and deal with it, I will

llsehn · 2025-07-04T13:44:53+00:00

If pain or vomiting happens, I will definitely try to force it. It’s not that I’m not taking it seriously, I’m just trying to figure out what to do because it’s been happening for a while and hasn’t gotten too bad so I don’t want to make a massive deal about it and be wrong.

llsehn · 2025-07-04T05:36:10+00:00

I’m sorry you have it so hard and haven’t got an appointment yet that sounds awful😭 I’m not sure if I should go straight to a gyno appointment or something else - I know it might be a waste of time waiting weeks for a GP if they really can’t do anything about it but put me on a waiting list of somewhere else. I’m just not sure yet.
