Ovarian pain - sent for scan
Hello,
just wondering if anyone has had any experiences with ovarian pain?
I have had a dull ache in the region of my left ovary for about a month and a half. I went to the doctor today and he is sending me for a scan.
I am a dreadful worrier and have obviously now assumed I have ovarian cancer. I was wondering if anybody had similar symptoms to me and what they turned out to be?
- Dull, slight ache in left ovary
- No change in bowels/periods
- No noticeable bloating
- Doctor said he couldn't feel any sort of mass there
- No odd bleeding
- Slight lower back pain on that side
- Slightly longer cycle (32 days rather than my normal 29)
- Been having fuzzy headaches almost constantly for a couple of weeks, but this could be the overspill of labyrinthitis that I've had on and off since September 08
I'm 25, have no children, am not on pill (but used to be, from age 17 - 21), am 5 foot 7 and size 14/16.
I'm hoping to God it's a cyst or something....

Thank you!!
I hope your scan shows everything is OK. It doesnt sound like you have the classic symptoms but fingers crossed.
I am so stupid. I need to just wait for the scan.
Its new symptoms you need to look out for.
I hate Dr Google.
My pelvic pain was quite low down though, more in the bladder area and was very painful to pressure - lying on my stomach was nigh on impossible. Is yours like that?
I go to GP and my fears are alleviated.
Simple
The OP has visited her doctor, and is looking for reassurance while awaiting her scan.
No...lying down is fine, and when I try to press on the area I can never seem to "hit" it...it feels too far in, somehow.
My abdomen isn't hard/bloated at all...I can pull my flab right up so my stomach looks flat! Hahahaha....
I SO do all that.
I am the world's biggest idiot.
I wish my scan was tomorrow. I hate waiting.
Stupid effing ovary.
Different to me then, I had a very defined painful area. Bodies can be odd, can't they!
Yes, I read that and understand that. She asked me how I am no longer a hypo and I replied. What's your problem?
Yep - waiting for my letter too. Last week I was convinced I had cervical cancer (I've had a lump of rancid cervix removed in the past, and the pain before the op was the same as this) but suddenly it's OK.....odd.
Yes - I'll let you know when my scan is, you PM me when you hear too - we can be scan buddies! They said the letter would be a couple of weeks, that was on Monday.
Sorry, I read your post as having a go at her for asking online about her symptoms. Apologies if I misunderstood.
No worries. No need to apologise.
Whee, scan buddies!!
I'm expecting a letter towards the end of next week.
I don't think I'd be so worried if I wasn't having headaches as well. Headaches are probably a symptom of the anxiety rather than anything else, but it's definitely making it worse!
I hear ya sista! I drove my partner, family and friends insane with my hypo-ponderings. Their sympathetic listening eventually turned to heavy sighs and head-shaking annoyance. I'm older and wise now (haha).
Yes the waiting is a pain (no pun intended) but take comfort in that you're getting this investigated.
Edit: btw, my gp is sending me for a pelvic scan (5th June). My appointment took about 3 weeks to come through.
PS - The headaches are probably more stress related than anything, would warm scented baths help?
Had one earlier! I love baths.
With the scan...they put something thin up your wotsit; is that correct?
sweet cheeks - Mr Belomb just laughs at me.
If it's like a pregnancy scan, they just put goo on your tummy & press the camera thingy onto your abdomen. It hadn't occurred to me that it might be internal, but as the GP called it ultrasound I assumed it would be the same as a baby scan. I hope so!
