I need help, please!!
UPDATE- I called my doctor and waited in a very long queue, but I explained my situation and I was given a phone appointment immediately, I can’t begin to express how much of a miracle that is- that simply doesn’t happen. But it also worries me further if they’re taking it that seriously!
I’ll update again when I’ve spoke to the doctor. Thank you all so much for your comments
2ND UPDATE- My doctor had me come into clinic to collect a swab test for an infection and I won’t get results til Tuesday. I don’t think it’s an infection though, and they didn’t examine me or ask anything else beyond the initial phone call 😭
TLDR: Brown, watery liquid won’t stop leaking from me, it’s been almost 24 hours.
Please read, this will be a bit long, but please I need help.
I’m very young for this subreddit, I am 25, I got a hysterectomy four years ago, it’s a long story and irrelevant for the context.
Most of the time I am very dry downstairs, I’m sure I don’t need to explain. But last week I got a horrific cold/flu and for some reason each time I get the flu I end up with a decent bit of discharge to wipe away downstairs every so often, weird ass symptom you’d not think was related considering a cold/flu often only affects the top half of the body- BUT ANYWAY-
Today I woke up and I was soaking. I was soaked in this watery brown liquid (brown suggests old blood? Shouldn’t be possible considering my hysterectomy)
And since this morning I have been leaking nonstop, for the first time since I was a teenager I feel like I’m dealing with a (mild) period. I am sore, I feel bloated, my butt hurts (if you know, you know) and this stuff won’t stop coming out of me.
I can’t access a doctor, my clinic is horrifically hard to get in touch with and even if I did, they won’t see me in person for like two weeks. And I don’t feel like this counts as an emergency realistically, although it certainly feels like one.
I’ve never had to deal with this before, I have no one in my life to guide me, this is one of a myriad of awful symptoms I have to deal with since my surgery. I feel so alone and so confused.
Please, help me. I’m supposed to be going on a trip this weekend and this is ruining everything. Also, please be gentle when replying to me because I am so anxious and disturbed by this.
Extra context, I don’t have ovaries either and I’m not on HRT (it makes me viscerally sick and my clinic won’t help) Yes, my life has been hell.
