Hi, I am a 23 year old female. Over the past month or so I've developed some symptoms that are concerning me...For the past 2 years or so, I've had very painful intercourse upon deep penetration - I get a shooting pain throughout my pelvis....then about 1 month go, I started to experience burning upon urination & increased frequency...I made an appointment to go see my family doctor (to rule out infection, etc) & get a pap, in between the time of scheduling my appointment & going to see my doctor, I developed a dull aching in my pelvis, mostly in the lower right quadrant. I tell him this informtion, he does a urine test, pregnancy test - all negative. during my pelvic examination, he presses down on my lower right quadrant, & it just about sends me off the bed, I had pushed down on my pelvis on my own standing up & didn't really have much discomfort. Over the next few days I've been experiencing lower back pain & shooting pain into my right groin area. The doctor's next suggestion is to go for a pelvic ultrasound....however, I have to wait until January for an appointment- in the meantime I am beside myself worrying I have cancer! I will note that my periods have remained normal, & I have had no abnormal bleeding

Don't get scared.  Just find a good gynocologist in your area immediately and he will schedule you or an ultrasound immediately.  Worry is worse than any disease.  I hope you are fine they will be able to relieve you from your discomfort.

always remember that this is your body.  you know how you feel.  i agree with the previous reply.  Find a different doctor and push until you get the answers you are looking for.  Tell the doctor that you want an ultrasound or CT scan.  Again, this is your body! Take care of it.

God Bless you!
