Have IUD. Having Sharp Abdominal Pain. Opted To Remove Loop. Prescribed Antibiotics, Painkillers. Matter Of Concern?
I ve had a loop or UID for 5years. For the 1st time since yesterday I woke with a sharp abdominal pain . Over the last 9 months I ve complained to my GP about spotting. Over the last month it became regular, to weekly!! I saw the GP again this morning for this pain, did a sonar, urine test, then opted to remove the loop. Urine test was positive for blood & LEU (3+ -500) not sure what that means??! He gave me some antibiotics & painkillers. He said there is no need for further test. Should I be worried??

Hi,
would suggest for testing. Doing a urine culture, antibiotic sensitivity sensitivity tests could be useful. Monitoring the regularity and intensity of bleeds and pain could be useful. Visiting a gynecologist for a more experienced and specialist opinion could be more advisable.
Hope this helps,
Thanks and best regards,
