Hi there, I'm 44 and in Cerelle pill. I had a small dermoid ovarian cyst removed a year and a half ago. For over 6 months now I have had a lot of irregular bleeding abs at the moment my period is still here two and a half weeks in! I had an ultrasound in October and I believe that there were no concerns. They did mention that there was fluid in the Douglas pouch (between the womb and bowel). I was led to believe that it was nothing to worry about although my GP had said that I could have Pelvic Imfammatory Disease!
However my symptoms have got worse and I am awaiting a hysteroscopy - Covid delayed it. My recent smear was fine.
My iron levels are low now and today I've been put on tablets.
I am so worried as the symptoms I have all point towards ovarian cancer.
I have severe bloating (I mean constant!!), constipation, dirrahea, dizziness, have to wee a lot, pain in ovaries, a very unusual swollen tummy, pressure down below, heartburn, not much appetite - although I am putting weight on despite exercising! Has anyone ever had anything like this? Should I be worried? Could a cyst grow in 4 months or could they have missed something on the ultrasound in October?
so many questions and thank you in advamce to anyone who responds. So appreciated.
