Ovarian Symptoms...seeking advice

Hi,

I have been suffering with persistent left ovary/pelvic pain/discomfort along with extreme bloating for several months now. Have been diagnosed with various types of deficiency anaemias from blood tests and have just had a CT which has shown enlarged left ovary with shadowing.

Am now booked in for MRI but feeling a bit worried.

Had CA-125 bloods done about 6 months ago when I first went to GP but never heard back so I assumed results were normal. Is there any point in this blood test being repeated now as symptoms have persisted and progressed?

Also wondered how others would describe their ovary pain/discomfort?

Feel like I've had to be quite persistent with drs initially dismissing symptoms as 'health anxiety'. It has taken about 6 months to get to this point of having symptoms properly investigated.

Many thanks x

    I went through this last year my ovarian cysts were found during a colonoscopy referred to oncology gynaecology clinic. I am post menopausal, I had a mri and ultrasound that showed that the cysts had not reduced my appointment with the consultant resulted in being listed for surgery. I had the op late October there were loads of adhesions so it took 4 1/2 hours!  Fortunately the cysts were benign lm really pleased that l have had the op.
