Tmi, should I get a doctor to check down there?

[Brightxeyes]

Had a water infection a couple of months back that was cleared quickly.
I also get irritated after sex and get swollen and sore so I usually put external thrush cream on the outside to relieve the pain. Which I usually do when I'm not pregnant too as thrush sometimes developed after sex and when irritated.

Saying that though we don't have much sex at all anyway so I rarely have to use it.

Last few days I've had to pee a bit more and yesterday I had to make sure I sat on the toilet longer to make sure I was completely empty. Baby kicks my bladder more anyway this week.

But I suddenly felt a sting (even then I'd gone half an hour before and felt no sting) felt like a cut kinda sting in an inner lip. I did worry about another water infection again but my last one didn't sting.. And this was definitely a cut sting.

So I got a mirror and had a look as it's very difficult for me to see anything down there. This sounds really odd to explain but it looked like there was a small *hole* or ulcer or SOMETHING (very hard to see when looking in the mirror) and when I poked it that's the bit that stung!

It hasn't stung other times after. I'm gonna have another look after my shower to see if I can get a better view.

I haven't had sex so I don't think it would be a sex cut or injury etc?

If it is some kind of hole or ulcer or wound should I get it checked out to make sure? I feel pretty embarrassed about getting checked but I know my vagina pretty well and this wasn't there before??

I feel embarassed explaining it because it sounds so odd and probably would be something no one has experienced.

i would deffinetly get it checked it out love, just to be safe xx

Get it checked to be safe!

 

[Sunseal]

I would go out and get it checked It might just where your knickers have managed to get to and rubbed but it's better to be safe than sorry

I just took another look and nope still there. Got a torch to make sure I could see it properly. It hasn't stung today and I'm not sure if the soreness was coming from there now.

The place it is I can only describe as kinda to the side and below where I'd imagine what was my hymen. As it's obvious what little piece of flesh would have been my hymen just around the opening.

It doesn't look a different colour, it's hard to see just by opening your legs you kinda have to know where it is and point it out. No puss or anything.. I can't even describe it. It's like a tiny hole.. Not a fresh cut. Almost as if maybe it's been there a while and scarred that way, like it's not a new cut or hole it's not red or anything.

So odd. I'll call my doctors or midwife in the morning as my new surgery has appointments but they're really long wait..

Are you sure its not your urethra? Pee hole? Its hardly noticeable, but once the weight of a baby hits you things totally changed. I never noticed mine until after delivering my DD. It remained a small opening for quite some time. Also explains why you would feel a burn/sting there. Definitely still worth a doctors appt!

 

[Brightxeyes]

Oh no it's definitely like below/to the side of the vaginal opening.. Like on the inner lip kinda thing on the right hand side.

I've had to pee more since baby has kicked my bladder all evening and I'd say it's probably a UTI that causing the sting now.
Although I think the once yesterday, whatever that 'cut/hole' is that stung once yesterday as it was more to the right whatever stung.

I can't even explain what it looks like properly.. And I've never had an sti so it's nothing like a sore caused by one.

Gonna call to book appt and double check I haven't got a UTI and double check what that thing is down there.. Eee

I get the same thing, i have a ocd thing with.constantly wiping too much, my oh gets on my so if i wipe too.much or irrate it i get a ulcer type sore, ive had it checked for herpes,etc... The dr. Just said i cant wipe so much because the skin down there is so thin and sensative.. So its nothing bad

 

[Brightxeyes]

I've definitely got a UTI I think. I woke up feeling frisky, and had a little quickie at 5am. Didn't feel sore. But as soon as I needed to pee afterward I was in tears with how much it stings. I know it's a UTI if sex makes things even more painful.

Oh god I really don't want to have to call in sick for work but I am not going to be able to hack peeing every half an hour and crying every time I need to pee. And I want to go to the doctors straight away but I have work at 9.30. Hate calling in sick but god this is horrible.

 

[Sunseal]

I wouldn't feel guilty about calling in sick, UTI's are awful :/

 

[Brightxeyes]

Well.. She tested my sample and said it wasn't a UTI, I even forgot to mention that cut thing but because it's not stung it's not bothered me.

I'm more bothered about the fact I feel off and I have UTI symptoms she was a bit puzzled so she sent the sample to hospital for further testing.

Hopefully it's not a bladder or kidney infection anyway. But I'll know Thursday.

I just feel really meh. And I'm shattered as I've been up since 5am and bit achey in my belly. Babies kicking fine just aches from bladder area :/

Nothing I hate more than when they don't know what it is and I have to wait to find out.
I've had blood tests before for various things, repetitively over five years for anemia and things and it's always said I'm fine and then they never find out why I feel ill etc

 

[Sour_Skittle]

Not trying to scare you.. But maybe an StD? Get a blood test and have your OB take a look.

 

[Brightxeyes]

I had a full blood check not that long ago, and then they check for HIV and a couple of other things at the start of pregnancy x so it's not that xx

 

[Brightxeyes]

I am scared it's an infection worse than a UTI because I've got a bit of an ache in my lower belly and when the pain was real bad I had an ache in my lower back too and I generally feel a bit run down too.. So I think it is something worse..

 

[prbetsi75]

sounds like a bladder infection.

 

[Brightxeyes]

I thought maybe doctor would have picked that up. Unless whatever strip test they do in my pee only picks up UTI and not bladder infection. I feel so horrible now had a sleep and thought I felt better. Now I've woken up more I feel awful

 

[prbetsi75]

When I've gotten bladder infections, the more water I drink the less it hurts after I pee. So try drinking lots of water!
