Ovarian cancer or ovarian pain?

i also had urine test and there are no signs of infection this and the pelvic exam was done 2 days ago the ultrasound was dont a year ar so ago thanks for all answers

You may have ovarian cyst. I know you had an ultrasound over a year ago, but you should get another. Also, the pain during intercourse may be from endometriosis. Please talk to your gyno and don't let him dismiss your systems. You may want to get a second opinion. Best of Luck!

Relax. It doesn't sound like an ovarian cancer. First you have to know that cancer in most of the cases means malignant tumor. Malignant means very bad and also it could spread(metastasis).
Most ovarian tumors(tumor not always means cancer) are benign in women <45 yrs old. So, the chance for you to have an ovarian cancer is close to 0.
The most common benign ovarian tumor is serous cystadenoma.
The symptoms you have sound more like UTI and it will be a good idea if you make some urine tests. If you update your information, probably I can help more.

After the additional details:

Hmmm! The pain experienced during intercourse can be provoked by many causes, but one of them is endometriosis. It is difficult to be diagnosed with some of the rutine exams, that is why sometimes the doctors need to confirm the diagnosis laparoscopicaly.
My wife had a fibroid and when she went for laparoscopic removal of it, they found endometriosis as well. By the way, the complains my wife had before the surgey: painful intercourse, abundent bleeding and pelvic pain were becasue of the endometrisis. Now she has regular and with normal bleeding period, no pain during sex and overwall she feels much better. Look at this link, there is some more information about this problem. Hopefully I was helpful.

I was diagnosed with Ovarian CA at age 26... Here are just a few facts
*Occurs in 1 of 55 women, at any age
*Today, most women are diagnosed when the chance of surival for 5 years is about 25%.
*Early detection can improve rate to over 90%
*Symptoms are subtle, persistent, and usually increase over time
*A Pap smear is not an effective detection method
Symptoms can include bloating, feeling of fullness, gas,frequent or urgent urination, nausea, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, menstrual disorders, pain during intercourse, fatigue, and backaches.

TAKE ACTION if these last over 2-3 weeks...I know this isn't fun but ask for a combination of a PELVIC/RECTAL exam....a CA125 (blood test) can be helpful but most important is the rectal and a transvaginal ultrasound(a little uncomfortable)

I was very lucky but this is a very silent deadly CA and I strongly hope you did read the above. You can contact me if you have any questions. Good luck and I hope nothing is wrong....

Sounds like could be fibroids. Go for a second opinion.
Good Luck.
