O/c symptoms?

Hi, I'm new here. Still waiting on my second u/s after abdominal scan showed severely enlarged ovary. Just wanted to ask what all the symptoms are that you have experienced? I have all the standard symptoms for o/c but some others also and I'm not sure whether they're related. Worrying myself sick here. I do plan on seeing gp again next week to discuss new symptoms whilst waiting on my referral to gynae to come through. It all seems to take such a long time.

Hello

I had a complex cyst after CT scan found mass on right ovary. Symptoms were right flank lower dull ache constantly, going to the bathroom lots, pain in my right hip radiating down my leg, legs feeling heavy, quite bloated and full feeling, generally under the weather.Also skipped periods and very heavy periods.

Hope this helps, see if you can bring the referral forward x keep us posted

Thanks for replying guys. I'm having all the 'normal' symptoms, then constant joint pain and abdominal pain. I'm also so lethargic all the time, I'm struggling to look after my children 😢 My gp is quite dismissive even though she has referred me, she says I'm too young for o/c to be possible.

Also my finger nails have started to bend down over my finger tips and I'm unsure if that is relevant to everything else going on. Just feeling so stressed about the whole thing.

Hi there. How old are you, if I may ask?

It might be a consideration to get another gp's input.

I was first diagnosed age 46, after experiencing tiredness, bloated stomach (caused by ascites), reduced appetite and some bowel wobbles.

All the best. Maus
