can this be from an ovarian cist? ovarian cancer?
About 5 months ago had two cists .. one on my left and one on the right. I was feeling very tired, i was getting my period every two days off and on very heavy and losing so much weight that i also lost a lot of iron. My doctor put me on the birth control pill alesse and gave me iron pills to take for two months and after that everything was back to normal. Now about 5 months later i feel tired once again but this time i havent gotten my period for 3 weeks, i am bloated A LOT in the stomach area only and seam to have gained weight only around the the abdomen and the waist area, i have a lot of gas and when i press onto my stomach there is pain. I also get weird shooting pains in my arms or hands seams like my muscles i dont really know how to explain that one and i always feel cold. Do you think i have another cist or why are my symptoms almost the opposite? Can someone please tell me what they think? I dont know too much about ovarian cancer or cists i thought my other symptoms were cists so i dont know what this can be? Is it possible to have these type of symptoms?
You may very well have more than one condition afflicting you. It does seem that you might have another/more cysts, and you should see your doctor. As for the symptoms in your hands and arms, it could be another condition...OR you might be sleeping in a different position from your usual pattern, or sleeping in the same position all night, to accomodate the discomfort in your abdomen. Sleeping in this manner can then affect your spine and shoulders, thus causing nerve irritation, that in turn causes these sensations in your extremities.
As you have probably read on the other posts in this forum, ovarian cysts cause the same symptoms as ovarian cancer. The only way to completely determine which condition you have is by surgery. However, the fact that you have a history of cysts on your ovaries makes it more likely that this is your current situation, and also reduces the chances of having ovarian cancer.
