pelvic mass, fatigue, swollen glands
by ChristinaFD, May 08, 2007 12:00AM
I have a mass in the area under my pubic hair that my family doctor thinks is an abnormally hard lipoma. She refered me to a surgeon to talk about having it removed but they haven't done any scans or anything. I've also had a lot of urinary tract problems, pelvic/lower abdominal pain, swollen glands all over my body and fatigue. I don't know if I'm being paranoid but I'm worried about cancer and concerned that more tests aren't being done. Should I be worried?

Hi There,
It sounds like you need more of an evaluation. you should ask your doctor about what is the ext step. Lipomas are pretty classic in their appearance . It is common is recommend surgical removal. You should ask about getting a CT scan first to look at your abdomen
best wishes
