Medical question...female...worried???

I am terrified of ovarian cancer...or any kind of cancer for that matter...not that I dwell on it or anything but lately I can't seem to get it out of my mind...I don't know why but a couple of weeks ago, something just made me look up ovarian cancer on the net...well, I had most of those symptoms...now, I know that the same symptoms for a lot of serious illnesses can be the same as some problem that is not serious but I do have these things going on...my abdomen is a little bloated...I feel pressure or fullness there...upper and lower...honestly, I think I look about five months pregnant...I do have a pad of just plain ole fat on my belly but not huge or anything...you know how your stomach feels when you are WAY full...like it is protruding out with that pressure...that's what it is like...even when I am lying down...also my periods are HEAVY...I feel some tenderness when I press fairly hard on my stomach, upper ab area...I do have fibroids but I am worried this is something else.

Go to your GYN and express your fears. He/She will help you further. I doubt seriously if you have it, but for peace of mind go to your doctor.

Reply:See a gynecologist. You should get regular gyn exams. He will check you and do blood tests. Chances are you are fine.
Reply:go and get it checked out..with the medicine these days you never know what could happen and if it is cancer you could catch it before it's to late
Reply:The only thing you could do is go to a OBGYN. It's not worth sitting around consuming yourself with horrible anxiety. Find out what's wrong, be pro-active about it. Don't worry!
Reply:i think you need to go to the doctor even if it isnt serious it is something
Reply:well the best defense is early detection! get to the doctor.
Reply:First of all, don't freak out. About 1 1/2 yrs ago I had cervical cancer that spread into my uterus and I ended up having a partial hysterectomy. The symptoms are not what you describe but you should get checked out. It may be an ovarian cyst or just plain old bloating.
Reply:Stop worrying !! You will just make yourself sicker. Go to the Doc. %26amp; get a complete phycal. I worried about the lump on my breast turns out it was a swollow glaned
Reply:Those are some symptoms of Ovarian or Cervical cancer. The best thing for you to do is see your GYN %26amp; have the propper tests done to see if you do. Ovarian and cervical cancer has the highest survival rate if caught in early stages. If you find that you do not have it there are things you can do to increase your chances of staying healthy and not getting cancer. Don't smoke eat healthy exercise regularly and get the new vaccine that protects you from many different types of cervical cancer. Talk to your doctor about the vaccine as many strains of cervical cancer are caused by a virus. Either way you really need to see your GYN as soon as you can. Good luck to you and I sincerely hope that you tests come up negative.
Reply:how old are you ? have you had a child ? bloating, and a puffy stomach is quite common before and during a period. And guess what ? Some people have heavy periods most of their life ? It's something you may have to get used to. I bet you're just fine too ! Your ovaries can hurt when they release the egg. There's a lot going on in there !
