Hello,

I'm going to keep an eye on this thread as I am also very worried and have similar symptoms to you. I am bloated day in day out to the point where I look pregnant on some days. I also get pain in my left ovary which is a dull pain that comes and goes often.

I had an ultrasound scan and was told I had a cyst and that was what was causing the problems, I had a further scan and my cyst had gone but the bloating and problems have not.

I feel the doctors don't take me seriously either and I don't know what to do. I'm only 27, I've been taking the pill for years which j have read reduces the risk of Ovarian cancer but I'm getting myself very worked up about it. 

Would the scan show if I had anything to be worried about?

Any advice would be great!

Hello

My bloating now makes me look VERY pregnant (and I am definitely not at aged 46!) I have two teenage children and have never taken the pill, though I believe you're right that taking the oral contraceptive is a protective factor against OC, as is your age at 27.

My first US found a complex cyst but that was on the other ovary and has now resolved (though I didn't have any pain/problems on that side anyway).

My left sided pain is there all the time and ranges from a dull ache/fullness to a burning sensation which radiates numbness down my leg. My MRI scan is booked in for a couple of weeks and I will try to post an update once I find out what is going on.

Keep going back about your symptoms if they do not resolve though - it's no good living in such discomfort.

Take care X
