Thread: Help & Advise Needed

Hi
My name is Mandi I'm 33yrs old and new to the forum.

About a month ago now I went to the doctors as my periods have become out of sync, I've always had a 28-30 day cycle. I had some swabs done and had to return 2wks later to get the results.
In the 2 weeks before returning my abdomin bloated and kept feeling nausea at first I didn't really wory me as I suffer with IBS. But the bloating didn't go so spoke to the doctor when I returned for my swab results, results showed I had BV so antibiotics for that.
Anyway she examined my abdomin and gave me an internal upon which she said she felt a lump, I've to have a scan which is on the 17th August I'm ment to go on holiday on 20th to Marmaris.
My abdomin is still bloated infact at work said I should go on maturnity as I look about 5mths pregnant.
And now if I sit a certain way I seem to get a sharp pain in my back as if something is digging into my kidneys, when I ajust my position it goes away.

So my symptoms are:
Bloated Abdomin
Nausea
Irregular Periods (heavey & darker red than normal)
Discomfort in the abdomin area

My worries are:
What is wrong with me?
My holiday I've worked all year for?

Help please!

It could be an ovarian cyst, I had one a while ago that disrupted my periods really badly and I felt sick all the time and bloated and ill but once it burst and disappeared I was fine. I've had others that only produced pain over the ovary so they don't always do that but some doctors can feel them and some can't so that may be what your doctor could feel. When you have a scan they should be able to tell you on the spot if you have a cyst so if it is one you'll know before you go away. Also they often disappear on their own so the problem may even have resolved before you go for your scan.
