I am worried I may have ovarian cancer . I have been suffering from bloating of my tummy for a while now but to be honest I have had bloating before especially before a period and at other times so I didn’t initially think much of it .
ive been aware my clothes are getting tight and when I look from the side I just look like a full tummy . So I’ve been wearing loose tops .
I also have been wanting to pass urine more frequently and even waking in the night which is never done before .
Sometimes I feel fluttery in my tummy almost reminding me of when I was pregnant years ago .
also feeling permenantly tired and sometimes needing a sleep after work recently .
Then last week I started with my first experience of a urine infection ; stinging urine , frequency and not feeling like I am emptying my bladder properly .
So I went to the GP who prescribed me antibiotics after testing my urine which showed up blood in it and an infection .
He also examined by abdomen and agreed there was bloating and so now has referred me for an urgent abdominal ultrasound to check ovaries uterus and bladder .
This has left me worrying now as I wish I’d gone sooner about my bloating and urine frequency symptoms and what if this is ovarian cancer .
