Symptoms

[DawsJane]

History - 41 yr female, 4 pregnancies, 3 children.  Abnormal pap 20 yrs ago? cone biopsy.  Ovarian cyst 10 yrs ago.
Almost three months ago I started having nausea, heartburn, gas, cramping, some diarrhea. Two months ago I had severe pain at end of my period, doubled over, etc.  GP did lots of bloodwork and everything normal, except cloudy urine.  Took me off high chol.med to see if it helped nausea, no change. Noticed symptoms more after I ate, esp. diarrhea.  Upper ab. ultrasound showed gallbladder sludge.  In the meantime I had Gyn appt.  everything appeared normal.  Hyda scan for gallbladder came back normal. CT scan today (reacted to the contrast, fun).  Showed that one ovary and uterus are enlarged.  Pelvic ultrasound scheduled for Wed.  Should I be concerned?

SLUDGE could be the problem...What was the HIDA scan number?

Urinary infections can cause the nausea, diarrhea.  It doesn't seem like the ovary/uterus situation would be related to that, probably another separate issue, but ovaries can just plain cause a lot of misery in my experience, without it necessarily being "serious".  I had just about the worst pain I ever experienced in my 62 years that turned out to be a "twisted ovary", that doubled me over and laid me out on the floor when I ovulated.  Had it removed along with the uterus (which was full of fibroid tumors).  At least for me, it was the best thing and brought permanent relief.
