Hi,
Thanks for the clarification. There were polyps then that were removed? Was pathology done? If so I'd want to know what it says. Your husband is right, though. You shouldn't be overly worried about getting tests done. The doctor has to be thorough to make a diagnosis and find a good approach to help your pain. There are some weird pain syndromes that women can get, vulvodynia comes to mind.
I think the doctor wants to check and make sure your kidneys are working well. Cystitus usually means bladder infection but can also mean a sort of chronic cystitis, "interstitial cystitis. This one sucks too, and you don't want it. It's not cancer but it is painful.
Try not to let your imagination run wild, you don't have a diagnosis. Once you do, you can focus on that, and what the next step will be.
Yes, spring is peeking around the corner, I've been planting flowers this week, it's a good thing, getting your hands in the dirt.
Take care, and please let us know how things turn out for you.
Wendy
