abnormal vaginal bleeding
Hi Dr Goodman
I was diagnosed of borderline ovarian cancer March 2006 and had a followup surgery on May to remove the right ovary and tube, as well as omentum and appendix because the tumor broke during the first surgery on march. I amd 32 and have been on birth control pills since September. My last ultrasound on Nov was good, nothing unusual. I also had a Pap Smear on Oct, all normal. Starting from last Monday, a week after the end of last period, i've had abnormal vaginal bleeding and it's still on. It's not heavy, more like spotting. My ob/gyn said he doesn't know why i was bleeding but said it's nothing to worry about. I'd like to know how would you approach this. Why am I having this abnormal bleeding? My next follow-up ultrasound is next Monday. Is there any more test that I should take? Thanks.
Regards,
sophie

Hello Sophie! I just wanted to say that if I hadn't had irregular bleeding I might have never found the cyst on my left ovary that turned out to be a malignant tumor which led to my Stage 1C diagnosis. Stay on the doc about the bleeding. Don't wait to long as your iron can drop too low too. Happy Holidays!
