Hi, I’m 20 and I recently had a transvaginal US and the results came back as my ovaries are really big. However, my gp said the symptoms I have (heavy menstrual bleeding, intermenstrual spotting, bloating, urinary urgency, constipation) aren't usually associated with PCOS which would be the first thing to consider with enlarged ovaries due to my age. She said the US didn't show cyst formations so she has referred me to gynae and sent off for some blood tests. The phlebotomist refused to tell me what they were testing for (idk if that's regular standard or not). It's made me worried as I know from the recent experience of my friend that these are the symptoms of ovarian cancer. As well as the heavy bleeding and such my lower abdomen seems to always be stuck out even if I breathe right in and I get a pinching pain. My gynae appointment was arranged before I have my blood results and isn't until may so it's a long time to be worried. How worried should I be?
Hi elsie22 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is an informative and supportive place to be.
I can't help with your questions but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list where hopefully it'll be seen by someone who has the experience you need.
I noticed that you'd also posted in the ask a nurse section of the online community and wondered if you'd seen that you'd had a reply. If not clicking here will take you straight there.
