Ovarian Cancer / Cervical Cancer?

If any of you have had either of these things, can you tell me what your exact symptoms were - Were your periods off? Cramping? masses, etc...

Heres the deal, They found a mass - suspected of "neoplasm" with nodules and fluid. The CA 125 test came back fine, no problem there, but I have strange cramping all month long, bloating, early periods,diarrhea, bleeding through out the month - all of these have never happened to me before in my life. I could usually pinpoint my period to the day and sometimes the hour! Now I bleed all through out the month and feel very strange in the area where the mass is. Anyway, the CA test was 7 months ago. I am just curious if anyone has been in this situation. I was a nurse, but never dealt with Gynocological patients/issues. Any advice please, thank u so much!

I've had these exact symptoms. My OB/GYN performed a cervical and a endrouterine biopsy. Both came back negative --- Thank God.

It was discovered by a sonogram that I have benign fibroid tumors. They were irritating the lining of the uterus which was causing the symptoms you described. They can also press against the intestinal walls causing problems with bowel movements.

She suggested the removal of the uterus. If you are still in child bearing age, they can also be removed leaving the uterus intact. I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet, but at least I'm sure it isn't cancer.

I would strongly suggest you insist on a sonogram.

Fibroid tumors are nothing more that out of control muscle cell growth. My OB/GYN said that 80 - 85% of all women have them. The severity depends on each individual woman.

I hope this helps. Good Luck.

I had on and off cramps, my period was pretty normal but heavy. Luckily women know their body and know when something isn't right...so I saw my doctor and found out that I had a large cyst on my ovaries.
