Hi all,

As I'm writing this I am shaking and have tears running down my face, I feel lost and alone. My mother passed away when I was fairly young which makes it difficult for me to talk about "women problems" this is why I joined this forum to share my story as a way for me to express.

It all began about 3 and a half weeks ago when I was taken to emergency in what was suspected appendix in which they removed but it ended up being a burst chocolate cyst with 100mls of free blood. One week later I had a pelvic ultrasound in which they found another cyst on my right ovary that is 36mm in size and yet to be diagnosed of what exactly it is.

I had some tests done and these were the results

S AFP is 2.4

S CEA is 1.9

S CA-125 is 34

I feel that those results seem fairly high for a 22 year old female..... what do you all think?

I'm also concerned as I have a little bit of extra skin surrounding my rectum area which I don't know what that is.... just found some blood in my stool also.

I'm so scared and I just need help, I don't know what to do anymore, I'm not myself and I can't be myself until I know my health is 100%. My next ultrasound is in 4-6 time to see if the cyst on my right ovary has grown or disappeared. I'm so scared and I can't focus on anything until I know what is happening with my body.... I don't want to be in hospital anymore, I want to be ok.

I lost my Father to Prostate Cancer back in 2001 it was hard as I was the last one to see him alive ,the Doctor that treated him told me to start regular check up's and I did since then every little cut scratch or pain I would want to know about and how to treat it. It's the same her with you listen to your Doctor and do what they say don't be scared and not say anything it might be to late

Hi, blood in the stool can be from anal fissures which occur when the skin around the anus can split a little. One cause of anal fissures is dietary allergies. If I have too much soy, I get anal fissures. I had chronic anal fissures throughout my 4 pregnancies and where the skin rejoined a flap of skin grew. it's not a genital wart but it is a skin flap. You may have something like this. Go see your doctor and find one you can talk to. I think you are probably fine in the rectum/anal area.
