Aa
curious???
I've been suffering with symptoms of a urine infection for 11 months. All 4 urine tests showed no infection but increased protein levels. I've had an ultrasound scan and this showed a cyst in my right ovary (which explains the pain i am having). I have had a blood test and i am waiting for results. I'm getting quite nervous as im sensing an urgency from my doctor. I am booked in to see a gynechologist next monday which im not looking forward to....my main concern is the fact that protein was showing in my urine for so long, am i right in believing that protein in urine can suggest ovarian cancer.
Laney had some great questions for you.Write them down and any others you have and take them when you go to see the gynecologist. Try not to think ahead of yourself and think cancer, it could be a more simpler problem. Good luck and hope to hear back from you with good results.
Hi there,
It is my understanding, that protein in the urine is a result of how your kidneys are working. Have you ever had a kidney workup? What has the doc said about the protein?
As far as the cyst goes, they are very very common in premenopausal women. Most resolve themselves and no treatment is necessary. What blood test did you have and where is the pain located? It is good you are following up on this, but I would definitely be asking more about the protein in the urine. Something just doesn't fit.
Hope you are feeling better, and keep us posted
