Hi ladies, in a bit of a state. Had nonstop dull ache in abdomen interspersed with pains for a week. Concerned that there hasn't been a second of respite from it in 7 days and it's not a sensation I've had before - it's hard to pinpoint exactly where the ache/pains are - sometimes low down sometimes higher up in the abdomen. I have zero appetite and a constant pressure/fullness in my abdomen. I doubt it's IBS as no issues in that department.
I have an ovarian scan in 10 days ordered by my doctor as have had a huge meno belly for a few years even though I hardly eat. Am 56, post menopausal.
My health anxiety is through the roof, the usual hysteria about possible stomach or ovarian cancer. Had a ca125 blood test which didn't show a red flag.
I am going to ask doctor tomorrow if I can have an abdominal scan as well, since I can't locate whether the discomfort is in the pelvic or abdominal region, it seems to move around.
If anyone has had similar (nonstop abdominal discomfort for a week or more) or can offer any calming words I'd be incredibly grateful. Thanks for reading.
