Extremem faitigue and now irregular vaginal bleeding.
Question Posted Tuesday November 1 2011, 5:31 pm
Okay I WILL see a doctor about this soon, (looking for a new oen!) but for right now I just want your opnions please.
So for the past few months I have felt very off. I have had a lot of clear vaginal discharge, (my doctor said not to worry about that if it was clear and didn't smell/burn) When I went to the doctor a month ago to get a pap done, it hurt extremely bad...Two doctors tried doing the pap smear and couldn't because I said it hurt too bad...I have had one other pap before done and I don't remember it hurting that bad.
The discharge now comes and goes but today when I went to the bathroom I bled. My period just ended a week ago and isn't supposed to start for a lil while. AND I'm on birth control.
I have been extremely bloated and will fill up on the smallest snack. Also, I do nothing but sleep. I feel groggy ALL the time. :( I try so hard to eat right and exercise but I always find myself falling asleep in the middle of the day.
I went to the doctor to talk to her about it, and when something about pap smear came into discussion with the receptionist, I got very emotional and couldn't keep myself together, and just left :(
Advice and opinions really appreciated...its driving my crazy..

I believe you know something is very wrong with your uterus and the doctors you have been seeing have not been able to properly diagnose you.
I had a problem several years ago after a car accident left me with chronic back pain. I received several varying diagnoses that made no sense and did not relieve my pain. I am fortunate that I live in an area the has several of this countries best teaching hospitals. One of which is associated with the countries leading trauma hospital.
I called the hospitals patient referral line. I don't know it was luck of the draw or if it was by my symptoms but I was assigned to the head of the Neuro recovery team for the trauma team. It took this doctor all of 5 minutes to properly diagnose me after he had reviewed my medical records and MRI. My problem does not have a surgical correction though with a proper diagnoses a proper treatment plan was made and I now do not suffer like I was.
I tell you this to prove what I am going to suggest to you. Since you are not getting a satisfactory diagnoses if there is a level one trauma center near you or a medical school with teaching hospital or a teaching hospital itself. Go to one of these and ask to see the head of the Gynecology department.
These hospitals have several things going for them. They tend to attract the best staff doctors for as a trauma hospital they tend to practice the most interesting medicine. As a teaching hospital the staff doctors are actually challenged by their students. Medical students are always challenged to go looking for the extreme diagnoses or as I say the pickle in the Herring barrel. Local doctors do not get challenged enough and treat the the everyday or the norm.
Insurance will cover your visit to the doctors I'm suggesting just as they have for the ones you have already seen. When it comes to many things I feel I deserve the best and these doctors are generally the best. Don't you feel you deserve the best too?
