Suggest Treatment For Blood Discharge And Frequent Urination After Septic Shock
I am 21 years old and earlier this year I suffered from septic shock due to a ruptured infected ovarian cyst within my abdomen. I had my right ovary removed and nearly died, so it s understandable that I m querying my issue. I ve been feeling generally unwell for a few days now, along with a horrible tickly cough. My right shoulder joint has a dull ache, my right knee began to ache for a short while too. I ve just been to the little girls room and noticed a stripe of fresh, red blood in my underwear and blood on the tissue when I wiped. It hurts to urinate, but I don t get any sudden urgency to urinate like I would with a UTI. However, I do find myself bowling over in pain after standing up from the toilet, which last for around 10-20 seconds. I can book in with my GP tomorrow morning but right now, I m just worried. Is there anything you would suggest?

Hello,
In the current scenario, I would ask you to see a specialist immediately as the symptoms of pain in passing urine and pain after along with the spotting, go in favor of some ovarian pathology, bearing in mind your history and its sequelae. Please do not exert and take as much rest as possible. The joint pain may or may not be related. You would need urinalysis, pelvic/trans-vaginal sonogram, blood counts, cautious pelvic exam if possible to locate the cause and plan further management. Anti-spasmodic may give temporary relief until you get proper help. Take care.
