Pain
Hi Doc
Since I stopped using Triphasel just over a month ago I have been experiencing severe sharp pains in my sides in my lower abdomen, also behind my pubic bone.
Today the pain moved to the back of my hip, more or less to my kidneys.
I also feel the need to urinate frequently, but usually then there is no urine. It feels a lot like when I was pregnant, the constant pressure on my bladder.
I am not pregnant, but I am starting to feel concerned as this has been ongoing for about 5 weeks now.
I have phoned my gynae to make an appointment, but he can only see me in a months time.
Should I rather make an appointment with a different gynae who can see me sooner or is this normal after going off the pill?

It sounds like a bladder infection. You can see your GP about it.
