Why does my body keep going wrong?

This is going to be a long post so please excuse me.

When I was 19 things started to go wrong with my body, I got a lump in my breast (benign - but only ruled out as such after extensive tests and a biospy), I got several vaginal cysts that I needed cutting out, but again were benign. I had ulcers in my mouth (benign) but have never gone away, even after being checked frequently by the dentist and I would constantly get black spots on my body that would need cutting off. These also proved to be benign.

When I turned 30 I started getting chest pains, which went on for 2/3 years and I believe were the result of stress and anxiety. I then developed a massive lipoma in the left side of my back (MRI and ultrasound later- benign).

Then last year I got pregnant and had a miscarriage. My body couldn't deal with it so I had to have a D&C. I then got a vaginal cyst that has plagued me since I got pregnant again Jan 2020. We then found out this baby had 2 heart issues and although they believe the heart issues are just random, I cant help but blame my body. Towards the end of the pregnancy the vaginal cyst got massive and I developed a breast lump.

I gave birth to my daughter and her heart issues are now fixed and shes home with us. But after seeing potentially the 10th doctor about my vaginal cyst, they were worried it was vulva cancer. After a biospy it came back that the cyst is breast tissue! (Something weird with the pregnancy) and the CT scan from this showed a lesion on my liver (they think is benign).

So I now have to have an MRI Scan and an ultrasound on my breast lump and liver lesion.

My question is....when does it end? And yes, I feel "woe is me". But I am lucky to have my daughter, I bled a lot in the pregnancy and worried I was going to lose her.

I weigh about 15 stone, so definitely overweight, which I know doesn't help. I'm 34 years old and a non smoker.

Apart from asking the doctor why I'm so suspectible to these things and losing weight, does anyone have any further advice?

I just feel unbelievablely unlucky and crap.

No answer, but sorry that you have been through so much. I hope your tests will show nothing serious, but I would ask at every possible occasion why you keep getting these. Could these be hormone related as you’ve just had a baby. It does seem that something is working overtime in your body.

I’d press for further investigation as to why you keep getting these lumps. That must be so painful and depressing.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby Smile.
I know you’ve just given birth and possibly breast feeding etc but toward the future, I’d look at diet and lifestyle, maybe a dietician and see where changes could be made. Do you consume a lot of fat/greasy foods? Too much fat can affect the liver immensely.
Good luck, hoping you don’t get any more lumps, take care and enjoy your new baby.

No idea as you sound particularly unlucky. It sounds awful.
You could try looking into vitamin deficiencies or food intolerances? They may not be the answer but may help manage better health?
