Im posting yet again and at the risk of sounding paranoid… I just feel like something isn’t right and I can’t shake that feeling off 😕
More than a week ago (10 days or so) I felt this weird cramp on my pelvic area, like a diarrhea/period cramp. Got a bit of bloody discharge for 2 days, day one was the tiniest bit of fresh blood, day two was brown mucus. Then it cleared up. But the pain never went away; in fact it’s moved to my back and it’s been going back and forth. At first I felt something pressing on my bladder, I didn’t pee me or had any difficulty peeing or going to the loo. But then I googled it… worst mistake ever!
Then I remembered my last period, albeit regular, was a day longer. At the time I was under remendos amounts of stress so it could’ve been that. The pain is dull mostly near the pelvic bone (iliac crest) but sometimes goes back and forth between my ovaries (or what I think is the ovaries), then to my back, then to my glutes.
I can eat just fine, in fact I could eat a horse lol. No bloating (or so I think, I’m starting to think I’m bloated when I’m not), no increased frequency in urination. I went to my GP6 days after the pain started. Not in the UK and I have a couple contacts who got me an appointment on that same day.
GP scared me. She said she felt something hard on my tummy, like a cord of sorts. Sent me to A&E after talking about “a mass”. Of course I broke down and started crying. My DW (im a female too) tried to calm me down to no avail, drove me to A&E, waited 7 hours. Had pelvic ultrasound done, nothing. Bloods, slightly elevated bilirubin but that was it. The doctor preforming the scan did say there was a tiny tiny cyst on my ovary but they were clear as day.
Was sent home however I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Scheduled with a gynae, they got a cancellation that day lucky me I got an appointment for a few hours later. The pain is not worse however it bothers me a lot. Gynae was amazing I did tell her I was concerned about cancer. She was extremely nice. Did a pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound, she couldn’t find anything… the Transvaginal scan was a lot clearer than the pelvic one; she thinks the cysts is an enlarged follicle since it’s so smal. She told me to scheduled another pelvic scan in a month to check things out. She also palpated me along with 3 other doctors but they didn’t feel anything… the pain is weird to day the least, like twinges. It’s taking over my life and I’m absolutely petrified.
My bowel movements haven’t changed except for the day I went to A&E. I was so nervous I must’ve pooped 10x that day. I was not fobbed off thankfully but I’m still scared and wonder why the GYnae requested another ultrasound in 4weeks time. She was fully transparent with me.
Can someone calm me down
I’m petrified. The pain hasn’t gone but hasn’t gotten worse at all, my periods are very regular and I’m anxiously waiting for this months period. I was extremely gassy for 3-4 days, when the pain was worse. Now I know that if I get a CT, my mind will tell me the CT won’t catch anything. I’m scared out of my mind. Apologies for my ramble. I’m 22 If that helps.
