I was 18 at the time. Its not a condition where you can comfortably ask your parents or gfs q's, seek for help or answers. so I went to three doctors to find out what that strange lump bugging out of me. (Pus white green and even black at one stage). 3 gp was not able diagnose my condition so they end up saying its an UTI.Finally the next meet up with a new GP that actually thoroughly examined me - referred me to see a specialist in gynaecology. Who said it was a UD. The pouch was 4cm in size. The risk of having this surgery it might affect the urethral line. I ended up going through with the surgery. Had the cathe in me for a night. Left on the night because my parents are strict - didn't know I had the surgery. My Parents are ones who will blame themselves if anything was wrong with me or happened to me or exaggerate the situation more than it really is. Didn't want to worry. Mind you I told them at the age of 25 about the surgery and they burst into tears. And I was fine after the day of surgery. slight pain but bearable coz I left without asking questions or hearing the nurses out. I just took panadol. I had the snow trip on following day. so I went the next morning. So I went out as normal. Even went toboggan and that was fine. My recommendation to teens stay in hospital, let the docs monitor you, rest in bed, usually docs would want the cathe in for 3- 5 days, when you urinate after you take the cathe - do it slowly, expect slight bleeding for 3 or 4 days the after operation. Remember to go back to see the specialist after two weeks for check up & att least 3 times after that and then every 6 months from then on. I'm 29 now and the pouch reappeared this time it's not filled up with pus or hard just more like hanging skin. I have slight pain like a sharp stitch when I'm constipated and ready to open my bowels, it aches in winter,doesn't have much feelings when you have intercourse because most of the nerves were damaged. I have a heavy feeling of my female organs below collapsing. So here goes to the specialist again. I will want to have gives after a year or two . Already I have sharp pain around the operated area when I'm opening my bowels (only when constipated) wonder If I will be able to give birth naturally or is it better to have a c sections. I have high chance of having twins - runs in both family. So I can imagine the pain.
