My daughter developed lower left quadrant pain, this was not relieved by painkillers. The GP originally suspected a UTI and prescribed antibiotics. No urinary symptoms were present.
After two days of antibiotics the pain did not subside and continued to get worse. We saw the GP again who suspected an ovarian cyst, the GP spoke urgently to the Gynae team at musgrove. They requested we attend the following day for a scan.
We initially went to the paediatric department who then liaised with the radiology department and gynaecology to facilitate the scan. Once the scan was completed we went back to the Paediatrics department, who then contacted gynae who came to discuss the results. We cannot fault the level of care from both the paediatric teams and gynaecology department. They put my daughter and myself at ease and nothing was too much trouble.
