Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 19-year-old female with a weight of 60 kilograms. I have consulted many doctors to know the cause of my issue. I have a list of symptoms such as headache, swollen lymph nodes, chest pain, bone, muscle, and joint pain, low-grade fever, pelvic pain, irregular periods, vaginal discharge, loss of appetite, weight loss, bright bloody stool, constipation, fatigue, and abdominal pain. I have done two CT scans of the abdomen and pelvis. But nothing was shown. I did a transvaginal ultrasound six months back. It does not show any cysts on my cervix. I did a CT scan and MRI of my head and nothing was shown. A CT scan of the throat was taken and nothing was shown.

An ultrasound of the abdomen was taken and it showed a 6 mm polyp on my gallbladder. My ultrasound of the pelvis does not show anything. I took an X-ray on my chest, back and pelvis. Nothing was shown. A degenerative disc was shown in my lower back. I have done all types of blood tests. Everything came back normal. Now, I have a polyp in my gallbladder, a while lesion on my cervix which was found during a pelvic examination, and a degenerative disc in my lower back. I had a pap smear and nothing abnormal was found. CBC, ANA, blood test for RA, lupus came back negative. Lyme disease and Rocky mountain fever came back negative. I can see a trace of blood in my urine. I have lost the urge to urinate. Can I have cervical cancer which is not being found in any scans or blood tests? I do not have any anxiety regarding my pain. Kindly help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have an unlikely chance to have cancer in the cervix as you have a negative pap smear. Generalized pain or malaise occurs due to autoimmune disorders and it shows raised ANA (antinuclear antibody) levels. Do not be worried. You can take medications and it helps you a lot. You can take tablet Wysolone 40 mg one tablet in the morning for five days, then 20 mg one tablet in the morning for five days, take 10 mg one tablet in the morning for five days, then take 10 mg one tablet in the morning on alternate days for six days and then stop taking it. You can take tablet Pregaba 150 mg one tablet in the night, tablet Shelcal CT (Calcium with vitamin D3) one tablet in the night, and tablet Paracetamol 500 mg one tablet in the morning, afternoon, and night.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
