Hi all, I don't know if I have posted in this group already but I am a 26yo female, I am yet to have any smear tests as I just hadn't got round to it due to a busy life schedule (I know I should make time for it). Around 10 days ago, I experienced sudden pelvic discomfort/swelling and swelling, nausea, fatigue and just feeling genuinely unwell. I went to see gynae on Friday, they done an internal ultrasound which ruled out ovarian cancer but upon a speculum test, I experienced a lot of pain and the consultant had to remove it, he has referred me for an mri to see what's going on. I am feeling so unwell and struggling to do my daily activities without getting exhausted and sleeping. Just wanted to see if anyone has had similar symptoms to me who has been diagnosed or see if it could be something less serious than cervical cancer. I have unintentionally lost around a stone in the last 9 months or so and have now suddenly got an alcohol intolerance which I always used to enjoy a glass of wine here and there! I can't help but worry and google things!
thankyou x
Yeah exactly, she said my potassium is low and also my blood clotting one is either high or low but can't remember, could this be linked? Xx
Sorry, Charlotte, I don't know the answer to that one! You’ll need to check with a doctor.

I have asked them to send over my bloods, so my potassium is really low, creatinine is low, and my coagulation test is quite high, they have recommended a diabetes advice page so may be looking at diabetes xx
That’s interesting! Maybe it’s as simple an explanation as that.

Yeah I thought the same! Hopefully the mri shows something for my tummy though so I can get sorted! Don't want to be left in limbo not knowing what's going on xx
It’s horrible knowing that something isn’t right, but not knowing what it is. Maybe the mri will give you the answers you need.
Sarah xx
It is! hopefully yeah! I'm wondering if it still cancer as my friends partner has cancer and he has low potassium levels too! Xx
I don’t know anything about low potassium, but always keep the hope that it’s not.
