Could this be ovarian cancer?

i have all the symptoms of ovarian cancer. the abdominal and back pain. pelvic pressure, bloating, fatigue, gas and leg pain (bad enough to wake me up at night, twice). i went to the doctor and i had an ultrasound done, which said that my ovaries and everything were normal. the pains are getting worse though, should i trust the ultrasound, i'm 16 btw, with no known ovarian cancer in my immediate family.

the tests for uti came back okay. i kept asking about PID because i was afraid i'd be infertile, but he said the tests were okay. and the ultrasounds showed nothing but a healthy reproductive system and abdomen

If you are in serious pain, you should by all means go to another physician and ask for a second opinion. I sincerely doubt it is ovarian cancer, given your age and your lack of a history, but ask for a CA-125 test. This test is done by blood sample, and measures the presence of a protein that is associated with ovarian cancer.

Your symptoms could be caused by a lot of stuff, and you should insist that your doc works to find out what it "is" rather than just ruling out what it "isn't".

Go back to the doctor until a reason has been found. Ovarian cancer is not the only thing that causes your symptoms.

you should find more info on it, go to a doc.((another one)) and get it checked aagin!

If you think that there is something wrong, usually something is. One of my fiance's friends had a girlfriend, now his wife who got ovarian cancer at 18. She is now 22 but cannot have kids, but she kept going to the doctor and they caught it in time. The doctor said it was genetic, even though no one in her immediate family had ovaraian cancer.

Well, there was someone in my mom's work who had ovarian cancer and acutally last tuesday she passed away becuase she hadn't got it treated on time. Defenetly go to a Hospital immediatley. Not trying to sacre you or anything. But, just be on the safe side and get checked out so that. So that way, if you do have it, you would have caught it on time so that you'll be ok.

Good luck!

u could have what is called a urinary tract infection or pelvic inflamatory disease so i would ask my dr about those two things Good Luck!

I believe an ultrasound would show abnormalities, not necessarily cancer. Fibroids, tumors, masses.

cancer is nothing too fool around with. go and get a second opinon and bring everything you have from the other doctor to show him what was done. don't ever except the first opinion from any doctor as that is your health and doctor's do make mistakes and miss things. I took care of 3 cancer pantients and I never excepted the first doctor's word until I heard it from someone else saying the first doctor was right.

If you feel that something is wrong you should see another doctor for a second opinion. That's very important. You know your body better than anyone else, so if you are still having symptoms, just make an appointment to see another doctor. It's that simple. If he finds nothing, than you can be sure that you're fine. Always get a second opinion if you have any doubts or if a doctor tell you that they need to operate. And stay away from the internet. It can make you really paranoid for no reason at all. If you read enough about certain symptoms you'll start to believe that you have them.
