Internal scan

The Dr looked alarmed when I described my symptoms of feeling full and uncomfortable all the time and sent me for a blood test for ovarian cancer which came back negative fortunately. I still have the same symptoms but even though I was diagnosed with endo two years ago I am scared about the internal scan as the smear test always hurts so bad. I am also meant to be starting a new job and could do without this really.

Well you don't have ovarian cancer that is somethng to be over the moon about. I have this feeling of fullness and I have very bad bowel endo and my smear test always hurt like hell. It might be that. You could explain the situation to the doctor and ask for help.

In my experience the internal scan is not painful like a smear test just a bit uncomfortable.

Hi, I had the internal scan and it was uncomfortable at times but not painful. I hope you’ll be ok
