Should I See A Doctor For Lower Abdominal Tenderness, Distension, And Mild White Discharge Especially Considering I Take Estradiol?
Hi, I am a 59 year old very active and healthy women. I have had a tenderness in the lower abdomen (directly in the middle) plus distended abdomen for approx. 2 weeks. I also have a mild white discharge. Around 12/30 I experienced symptoms of a UTI and my doctor prescribed anti-biotic. Results of urinalysis came back negative for UTI but the antibiotics helped with the symptoms. I also take estradiol and am wondering if this plays a role. Net, net, the tenderness is not typical for me and I am getting concerned. I just don t know if I should see my OB/GYN or a Urologist?? Any advice for which doctor to see and what could be causing these symptoms?
