THE TECH DID NOT ELABORATE ON THIS. I DON'T SEE HER UROLOGIST UNTIL MID APRIL. IS THIS AN URGENT MATTER. CAN THIS BE RELATED TO HER VCUR. PLEASE HELP

Tough to make any diagnosis without seeing the patient. Things like infection, adhesions and endometriosis are possible causes for this.
I would consider further evaluation with a CT scan at this time. A referral to your urologist is suggested for further evaluation.
It is also possible that it may be releated to the VCUR, however I cannot be sure without further evaluation.
If the urology evaluation is not revealing, a referral to a GYN can be considered.
I cannot comment on whether it is urgent or not without examination - but if there is any doubt, I would contact a physician in your area.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
