Caruncles ?

[emmie]

what are caruncles?

[emmie]

i confess i have never heard of this, and after googling it have to say no..

[Samuraisan]

Thanks emmie. I bet a lot of women do, as they get older.

[emmie]

is it something you have??

[Samuraisan]

I am not sure emmie. But I certainly have the symptoms, as per Dr. Google. I am seeing my gyno on the 17th. for all the usual checkups so will mention it to her.

[emmie]

try not to google too much especially about health matters, but do see your Doctor who can put your mind at rest..

Carbuncles?

[ChillDoubt]

Not sure why you’d need to mention caruncles to your gynaecologist as I’ve only ever heard the term used in eye surgery during my 27 years in the Op Theatre.....?

[emmie]

it is other connotations...

[emmie]

or so i read...

[ChillDoubt]

Ah, a urethral caruncle?
How do you know you have one?

[Samuraisan]

Because Chilldoubt, when I pee it goes sideways. No problem when I sit down, but when I crouch over a public loo, so to speak, I see it goes sideways and I have to be very careful it doesn't go down my leg. Yugh I know.........sorry.

[ChillDoubt]

SS,
Nothing to apologise for and the details won’t harm my sensibilities I can assure you!
By all means mention it to your gynaecologist but it may be worth asking for a referral to a urologist too, who are a tad more au fais in that area.
Best of luck.
