Possible UTI - who should I see?
I know I need to see one of them, just not sure which one is the better choice.
On the one hand, the my GYN did the TVH and handled the last bad UTI (that I didn't even know I had ). I read somewhere that if you develop 3 or more within a year, there might be some pelvic floor disorder that needs to be looked into. Since he is also a urogynecologist, that sort of falls into his realm anyway. I'm also not sure if this still falls into postsurgical problems since it will be 9 weeks tomorrow. I hate to bother the office for something so simple (I'm a big coward when it comes to calling the doctor's office). I do know the last time, he just simply diagnosed it on the spot because they always take a urine sample at every office visit, which means I probably wouldn't have to go to the lab.
The primary doc probably would have to send me to a lab. On the other hand, since I'm seeing him anyway on Tuesday, it wouldn't be such a big personal freak out for me. I'm there anyway. I just have never seen him for such a thing, so I'm not sure how it would be handled. Then I would probably have to have the info sent to the GYN anyway because this seems like something that crosses both practices.
Okay, I'm just a big chicken! I'm having an anxiety attack over having to make THAT call!
