I'm looking for more specific symptoms of Ovarian Cancer? |
I know these ones, abdominal pain, bloating, pelvic pain or back pain. I am looking for something a bit more specific. My doctor already kind of thinks I am a hypochndriac, So I don't want to go in there with nothing. So here's what I am experiencing. A change in my cycle, it's not as regular and I feel better during, but I am also thinking this could just be my body adjusting a little more. I also have been recently treated for gall stones to reduce indigestion which it didn't and I have back pain which I think is related to my spinal tap, but heck maybe it's not cause my doctor thinks this kind of pain is odd from a spinal tap. So please let me know anything that might help me figure out if I am just being parnoid or If it might be something Ovarian cancer often shows no obvious signs or symptoms until late in its development. Signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer may include: General abdominal discomfort and/or pain (gas, indigestion, pressure, swelling, bloating, cramps) Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or frequent urination Loss of appetite Feeling of fullness even after a light meal Weight gain or loss with no known reason Abnormal bleeding from the vagina These symptoms may be caused by ovarian cancer or by other, less serious conditions. It is important to check with a doctor about any of these symptoms Source(s): http://www.medicinenet.com/ovarian_cance... you've basically already have stated the possible symtpoms of ovarian cancer! the other thing to look for is change in bowel habits! gallstones are a sign that your liver is diseased! your alt and ast levels may or may not show an increase which is famous for viruses that attack the liver (and everything attached!) test for actual antibodies for hcv to start. you could have the virus or better yet you could have a disease called nash. good luck! been there, done that! I had ovarian cancer last year and I was only 19 yrs old, so it can happen at a young age... I didn't know I had it until it grew so big that it torsed(twisted) so that the blood was still getting pumped into the tumor but had nowhere to exit. Basically it was swelling up with blood every second and I was in so much pain I called 911 and they had to operate to take it out. Apparently it was pretty big and they performed a C-section type operation to get it out... The only sign I had of it looking back are in the few months before the surgery I felt a pressure in that area when I was doing Pilates and was stomach-side down on the floor doing a stretch. I will tell you though that ovary pain is quite normal. I still have a lot of pain in my remaining ovary. It goes with your cycle and sometimes even when you go pee and the pressure is released quickly off of your ovary it can cause some pain, so don't get freaked out that your ovary hurts. Cycles can also vary a bit from month to month, but if you are missing periods, or bleeding when you shouldn't be then something is wrong, however it could be many things besides cancer. At any rate, seeing a gynocologist and getting a CT scan will lay to rest any questions you may have about this. I hope this helps! |
