Ovarian cancer has been quite common nowaday. I am a 47 and had a partial hysterectomy about 10 years ago after bad pap test, cone biopsies and severe bleeding for years. I was diagnosed with IBS and now have blood in my urine even after treatment with antibiotics for a UTI. My GP sent me for an ultrasound to rule out problems with my kidneys and bladder and found a 3cm cyst on my left ovary. When the GP called to tell me this, his nurse said it was nothing to worry about. After thinking about it I called back to have a copy of the report faxed to me. The report didn't say what type of cyst only the size. I am now waiting for my GYN to review the report and call me on Monday. I am more concerned because of my age and that previously gyn problems.
In 1990 I had a cone biopsy for severe Stage 3 dysplasia, but after that paps were normal and had 3 kids. Now I am having problems with cysts on my ovaries, adenomyosis, and fibroids. My urine also detected trace blood and still haven't found out why, but I suspect it is all related to my gyno problems since I was checked for everything else.
you will see that IBS is most always the easy answer for doctors. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you do not have IBS and you'll know why I say that after you read some of these women's stories. I am now in the process of seeing a gyno/onco b/c the pain of all my problems is excruciating and I'm trying to get some answers. One thing I've learned is to get copies of ALL the testing that has been done.
