Hi, I am 23 years old. I've come on here because I am so worried, this year I have been back and forth seeing doctors, I have PCOS ( polyestic ovaries ) and this year has been full of sharp pains, back pain, bloated, uncomfortable feeling down below and just many other things. I don't get periods. I also am now suffering with a new symptoms and that's pressure when I go for a wee, so much pressure it feels like I'm pushing something out. When ever I look at ovarian cancer symptoms I literally have most of them. I am worried and scared as I have two children.

Can someone please give me some advice or even tell me some symptoms they've had or experienced???

I am unsure on what to do next

Dont worry now until you get an answer from a doctor. You need a CT scan to know what is wrong. Dont make yourself nuts, this could be a lot of things.

CT scan and ca 125 test

Demand some answers. What are they doing to rule out ovarian cancer? Seems like you need a CT scan with contrast to start. Good luck. You are your best advocate. Fight. And win. Keep us updated please?

These ladies on this sight helped me with a little thing called "peace". While you should be doing what they tell you, CT scan w/ contrast, CA 125 blood test and more.....the best advice I can give you is to find your peace. Until you know one way or another and even after, focus on your kids, laugh, feel the sunshine on your face, eat dessert, what ever brings you joy and focus on that. The rest will come but the peace will help you, your body and your kids. Much love to you and keep us informed.

Please don’t leave it a minute longer to get help. My GP took 5 months to deal with similar problems. I was eventually diagnosed with late stage OC

You’re very young and probably not OC as your symptoms suggest but please find out ASAP. A CA 125 blood test with the GP is vital ASAP.

Then depending on the result insist on seeing an oncologist also ASAP. Something isn’t normal ‘down there’ so find out what it is.

Lots of love and care

All the best

Have you had an ultrasound or CT scan with contrast.? Or a C125 the tumor marker for ovarian cancer? I am not sure what tests you have had but hopefully you have informed your gyn of latest symptoms

I realize you posted this a month ago. Request that your Dr. do an Ultrasound and a CT scan with contrast. Also request that they set up a referral to an Gyno-ONC. Specialist even if this might not be cancer. They are much more equipped to take all necessary steps to rule cancer out. If your Dr. initiates a referral by contacting a gyno-ONC. You are more likely to get an appointment as soon as possible
