Worrying symptoms

Hi I am a 16 year old girl and I've been having some unpleasant symptoms. I have been quite bloated to the point where my stomach is twice the size but only the bottom of my stomach, I've also been having pain around my hips and back that radiating to my leg and also my periods have been quite irregular( I've had my period twice this month) I was just wondering if anyone could give any advice as my mum doesn't think it's a cause for me to go to the doctor. Thank you 

  • Hi Perrtyup20,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. With any bodily changes or concerns we tend to advise people visit their GP for advice. It's usually best to do this as it can at least offer peace of mind.

    You may wish to give our nurses a call for some initial advice on this if it helps. You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5. Alternatively you can post in the 'Ask the nurses' section of this forum.

    Wishing you all the best,
