I have self diagnosed myself with cervical cancer :(

[ladythatlunches]

Hi everyone,
2 and a bit weeks ago I had like a tummy bug.. no vomiting few loose stools mega cramps felt sick couldnt eat was completely wiped out for 2.days.

It took about a week to get my appite back.

2 weeks and 3 days later I still have tummy problems.
One minute im constipated then next I have diarrhoea.
Achey legs on and off,
Very windy noisy tummy. Feel slightly nauseous in evening.
Slightly bloated but I have so much wind in there.

Silly me googled and now think I have ovarian cancer :(

[saycheeeeeese]

This is how I felt when I got pregnant!

I'm sure it's not cancer but if you're worried go get looked at

[gillywillywoo]

You're working yourself up and it's very likely to NOT be cervical cancer!!!!!

Go to the doctors and tell him/her your symptoms.. It's probably something else entirely and you will feel very relieved and a bit silly for freaking out so much!

[AKissIsNotAContract]

In your title you say cervical but in your OP you say ovarian. Your symptoms could be any number of things. Why don't you see a GP?

[gillywillywoo]

I meant that in the nicest possible way!

[ladythatlunches]

Maybe just tummy not right after tummy bug? :(

[EuroShaggleton]

It sounds like IBS.

[batteryhen]

Step away from Dr Google! It's much more likely to still be your tummy settling down. I had food poisoning once and it kept flaring up for weeks after. When your gut takes a battering it can take a while to recover. Why not pop to the GP next week, tell him your concerns and see what he says? He might also send off a poo sample to see if all the bacteria has gone xx

[ladythatlunches]

Oh god yes I do.. what a tit I am. I ment ovarian

[saycheeeeeese]

Could you be pregnant?

[ladythatlunches]

I honestly think if someone stuck a needle in my tummy I would just take off with the wind.

Its gurgling now..noisy tummy

[batteryhen]

Oh and my DH got a tummy bug last year and has ended up with IBS from it x

[ladythatlunches]

No dh has had a vasectomy

[saycheeeeeese]

Maybe Dr Mumsnet is worse than Dr Google. ..you're a pregnant IBS sufferer wuth a tummy bug

[saycheeeeeese]

Get loads of those yogurts with the friendly bacteria in you, yakult?

[ladythatlunches]

I would probably drop dead with shock if I was pregnant. So would dh :)

[ladythatlunches]

Oh I could do. My mum takes those. She has ibs also

[VivaLeBeaver]

pregnant?
ibs?
gluten intolerence?
bad uti?

quite possibly an upset/inbalance in gut flora since your tummy upset.

See a GP.

[ladythatlunches]

Def not pregnant.
Could well be ibs I have pretty much every symptom there.
No uti, all ok down there.
Think I will make one in the week.

Such a worrier. And my tummy is so loud

[chocolatespiders]

Have you tried Buscapan for the cramps?

[ladythatlunches]

The cramps are only there when the wind starts. Its high up not low down pains.

[digerd]

The swollen tummy signs of ovarian cancer are not digestive and don't affect that. It is also not wind but fluid that must be drained.
A scan on your ovaries would put your mind at rest, then the real causes can be investigated and treated.
Good luck

[chocolatespiders]

deflatine- for trapped wind. Wind pain really hurts.

How are you today?

[CoteDAzur]

I had those symptoms, stretched out over a week. I would wake up better, then gradually get worse through the day, with tummy aches, a bit of diarrhea, etc.

It turned out that the milk I was making my coffees with was several weeks past its date. I wasn't drinking enough of it to be properly sick, just a tiny bit each day. I through that bottle out and the problems went away.

Could it be something like that?

[IHeartKingThistle]

It takes a while to get right after a tummy bug. I have health anxiety too and this is also very likely to manifest itself as digestive symptoms, ironically. I could self diagnose myself with something different every day .

[hiddenhome]

Get some Actimel drinks - start off with two a day for three days, then one a day after that.

You haven't got cancer
