Hi there, I've had an ultrasound for postmenopausal bleeding and there is a swelling on my tube/ovary, that wasn't there 18 months ago when I had a scan for a polyp.
I'm awaiting ca125 result, however I have two symptoms, one that my GP has dismissed as just 'getting older' for a while now.
I've had groin ache in the creases of my leg/body joint, sometimes quite badly and it's been there permanently for months. I didn't mention it to the specialist as I was in a bit of shock from the ultrasound scan and was being whizzed from one person to the next.
Could this groin ache be a symptom of the swelling, benign or otherwise? I've read about lower abdominal pain being a symptom, I occasionally get the odd fleeting stabbing in the lower abdomen and a bit of an ache coming and going, but this groin pain is consistently there.
Additionally, for a while now, I've had up to 1100 WBC in my urine, without any infection, which my GP has scratched their head about. Could this in any way be linked to the swelling?
The reason I ask is, the consultant said if the ca125 comes back ok they're just leaving it at that, no further testing, but I've read that ca125 isn't always an indicator of a problem and I'm worried these other things could be related.
Thanks
Hi Sooey and welcome to the group.

I noticed that your post hadn’t received a reply yet, so I’d like to suggest you post your question(s) to one of our nurses for advice. You can do this by clicking on the link I’ve made here
It might also be helpful for you to call the support line (the number is in my signature) to talk things through. They are lovely (as I know from calling them myself!) and can offer advice and support, which could include how to get more help via your gp if your symptoms are continuing.
My reply here will put your post back to the top of the discussion list and hopefully you might get some replies when others see it. Meanwhile, please let me know if I can help any further with anything.
