Hello All, Would Really Appreciate Your Advice... Had My First

Hello all,

Would really appreciate your advice...

Had my first transvaginal ultrasound on Saturday to investigate suspected fibroids/endo, which was a huge thing for me to go through because of past abuse. Never envisaged it would be as traumatic as it was. The sonographer couldn't get it in and kept forcing the probe. She knew I was in deep discomfort, I told her, but she stayed silent throughout, not even giving me commentary about what she was doing etc. When it was over, she said it looks like I have endometrial cysts on both ovaries.

Apologies if I sound ridiculous, but I spent the whole weekend in bed crying from feeling like I'd been assaulted. Feeling better mentally now, but I'm so worried about the discomfort I'm still in - can't sleep on my front or stand for long, and it feels difficult to tell when my bladder's full. Constant burning sensation in my lower abdomen and womb, and like someone's standing on them. Can't bear for anyone to jump onto the sofa next to me.

Driving myself nuts with worry. My doctor doesn't have any appointments until next week. Ibuprofen not helping. I never experience any discomfort outside of my period or during sex. Do I just need to put up with this for the rest of the week?
