I have had abdominal pain for quite some time now, as well as pelvic pain (basically pain feels like its all over) I have also had discharge from my vagina and have gone to my physician atleast 10 times within about 3 months and my GYNO twice and went to Planned Parenthood just yesterday where she looked into my cervix did a routine exam and testing I didnt really feel anything when I was being pressed on my and of the doctors (where they touch your stomach and pelvic area all over) but I do feel it at home or when I am out all the time. I am having some lower back pain and thighs have been hurting a little in the inside I also have been having a lot of gas and very very soft stools recently. I am on birth control and have been for a while but there has been about a month or 2 where I stop for a little. I am so scared this is a cyst and that It could cause harm or be cancerous. I just thought about that it could be a cyst when I started looking up things on it online. No one has mntioned a cyst to me I have been to my physician a lot of times, my OBGYN twice recently and planned parenthood and also a Gastro Int. doc. twice recently also. I am sooo scared and I want to just cry I do not know what id wrong with me and I am only 20 years old. I need help, :( I told my mom and I feel like I am always complaining so now I try not to complain but I really don't know what to do anymore. The pain is not unbearable (maybe because I have gotten used to it but I really don't kow :( I don't want to die. Is there anyone that can help me or put some insight on this? My mom says she will call for an ultrasound to be done and call tmw. In the mean time I want to go to my physician again and tell her everything since I can't see my OBGYN again till August 11th which is the appoitment. wow I am totally going crazy and I really think I am going to die. I am only 20. Can these cysts be missed in a pelvic exam? are they usually missed or found? I am so scared.
I have the results.....
Well I do have a Cyst, my GYNO is going to call me today (hopefully)

I am thinking tmw? I don't know yet. I will keep everyone updated. thank you again for your great support. I said I wasn't going to be on here but I am having and keep having terrible anxiety :(
I have gotten only the abdominal ultrasound so far and that I was told was normal. that is all I know so far.
I am sorry to hear what you went through. But I am glad that they were good to you because that is what everyone is afraid of. "how are they going to treat me?" I hope you are doing fine now, and that you had a speedy recovery. I am going to lay off the internet until I get my results because I think I am scaring myself to death by staying on here. So when I get the results I will post back here. Thank you for all of your support and guidence. I really appreciate it.

I think, things are not bad and not serious. In my case when I came out of CT-scan room, my nurse told me , you have to go for more test now and after TV-ulta sound, Doctor told me you are toss up now, which I failed to understand. Within 5 mins Nurse told me you have to go for surgery now and surgeons will talk to you and they started preparation.
I went alone to hospital and post surgery took care myself.
Hospital staff was just great.
If they want you to wait for 2 days, relax.

I know I sound horrible but I can't help but feel like I am going to cry. honestly I think a little weight has been lifted off my shoulders since I had everything done today. ( I was and am still scared and worried obviously) and I feel like I can't talk to anyone anymore. its just upsetting :( I wish I knew now. Its very hard to focus on school and I only have like 2 days left until its over for a few weeks then I just have work which is boring but it does keep me occupied and I try hard not to think about my health when I am there. again thank you so much for your time. and I am here for you too if you need someone to talk to. Age is just a number. you are a very sweet and caring woman. and have helped me a lot. :-)
I was the same as you. I drove everyone around me crazy with my anxiety until I had all my answers. Then I realized that I worried myself sick needlessly. It's best to keep your mind occupied on something else. It may sound weird for a 49 year old, but one of my best outlets is video games, especially the harder time consuming ones that require a lot of strategy. A good book or movie can be another good escape.
Thank you so much it really means a lot to me that all of you are responding and helping me. I am sooo upset you have no idea. I really don't know what to do mean time. I know I am driving my doctors nuts and I am also driving my parents nuts and I feel terrible about it but I just want to know what is wrong. This might be a little personal but how did you deal with this? and with other stressors in your life? I need help. I don't know what to do. :(
Try to remain calm. Your nerves will make you sicker than whatever it is you think you have. And you may not have anything serious.
The majority of those that perform ultrasounds are NOT allowed to say anything. It's become rather standard that they are first examined by an expert, the results given to your doctor and then your doctor tells you what it all means. It's not a sign that there's something bad. They just don't want someone that is not an expert telling you something and then they are wrong.
Try to get a good night's sleep and put your mind on happier things for awhile. Try to do something fun tomorrow. It's summer and you should be enjoying it. Best wishes to you.

the people who were in the room said they give it to I believe the radiologist? and he will send the results to my doctor in 2days. She wouldn't say anything. Does this mean something bad? I am so terrified. My parents would not let me go to the hospital last night they do not think its a good place for me to be in which I know but I was not feeling well at all and was so upset. I still don't feel well but not as bad as last night. I took some anti-diarheaa meds and have been drinking gatorade and have been eating bagels, pretzels and a little chicken. I am very close to my physician so I will call her on Thursday or Friday, (I don't think she is in Thursday, but I will check anyway) Do you have any advice on what to do now? Do you think it was bad since no one would say anything? I honestl;y want to just find out what is wrong. I don't want to die. This has been the worst summer thus far for me. :( I am supposed to go away at the end of this month for a few days and I am so looking forward to this and already have plane tickets. Do you think I will still be able to go?
cutipup100,
Did you ask Nurse or Doctor? Normally they tell at that very moment when you are in so much distress.

I had a abdominal/pelvic ultrasound and a transvaginal ultrasound at 1pm today. They say I will get the results in 2 days. please pray for me.
my abdominal/pelvic ultrasound was moved up to 1 oclock today. I will update everyone in what is going om later. Please keep me in your prayers.
It is now 4:12 am and I woke up it a lot of pain and feeling nausea my parents do not want me to go to the hospital and I keep saying I want to and I need to. I also feel very weak now. My ultraound is made for tmw but I really don't know if I can wait that long I keep feeling worse and have irregular bowel movements as Linny said. but now I am also afraid it can be cancerous eventhough I had a complete blood work done and my physician says "you don't have cancer" but how do you even know? I am freaking out and really not feeling well and just got into a screaming match with my parents at 4am because they wont let me go to the hospital :(
I have also been having yellowish discharge is this normal? abnormal? related to cysts? I keep doing tests for this and it seems to come back negative for STDs and my pap smear was normal...
Wow I appreciate you guys sooo much you have no idea and my symptoms sound consistant to Linny's. Linny I have had a complete work up done and the doctor says everything seems fine. I have also had a lot of blood tests done for different things and she says all of them have come back negative. I just hate not knowing what is wrong with me you know? its such a bad feeling. No I havent had any vomitting and I don't think I have had fever either. I am always hot when I go to bed but iuts summer and I usually sweat a lot anyway so I don't think thats anything else. I told my mom about both and I want to get both the abdominal and pelvic ultrasound and the transvaginal ultrasound too. I feel like I am being ignored by my physician now because I keep going back there over and over again. but I don't know where to go anymore? I feel bad I am annoying to everyone but I am stuck. I am going to try and call my GYN today and see if they have anything earlier and now I am thinking the date I set is when I am going to have my period. so hopefully they can just squeeze me in or maybe someone will cancel. I really just want answeres. thank you all once again.
cutipup100,
If you have fever and vomiting, then immediately go to ER, otherwise 11th Aug appointment with OBGYN is just fine.
Fever and vomiting is sign of twisted ovary/ torsion, which is serious.

Oh yeah I forgot a few symptoms,
Gas and my bowel movements are very irregular (sometimes constipated, sometimes loose). If you are having loose movements alot make sure you drink lots of gatorade so you don't get dehydrated.

Hey,
I actually had my transvaginal done in the obgyn's office. Believe me, I have gone through so many tests and am very frustrated also. Whatever you do, don't go to the ER unless you really have to, because they misdiagnosed me there and basically will tell you anything you want to hear to get you out of there.I am 27 trying to work and go to school and plan a wedding while feeling like I do, so I know exactly how you feel. Ummm..my symptoms are swollen abdomen, really bad cramping, irregular periods (even though I am on the pill), having to pee all the time, nausea, and weird leg pain. They told me that I have irritable bowel and that was what was causing this until they found the cyst. (They missed the cyst with the first ultrasound they did in March). Everything just makes more sense. But it may not hurt keeping a journal of what you eat. Try to avoid milk, spicy foods, caffeine, etc...and see if you feel anybetter. Alot of times a cyst can mimic other disorders, so I know that you don't want to hear this, but its a process of elimination. Thats what I have been dealing with. If you are getting really really bad abdominal pain then I would go to the hospital. My parents told me it was stress also. Stress does do weird things to your body, but some things are not always caused by stress. I've had a bad summer too because I have felt like this. I would tell the doctor that you want both an an abdominal ultrasound and a transvaginal ultrasound. Also have a complete blood work done up. They have not removed the cyst on my ovary yet. They are playing the wait game with me too. I don't go until sept 3rd for another ultrasound to see if the the birth control I am on has shrunk the cyst, but I don't think I can wait that long either. Feel better and any more questions or if you just want to talk, I am here!

Hi Maggie and all: thanks for helping this nice lady out, I learn a lot by just reading posts that may or may not pertain to me right now. This is a great community!
I was wondering if there was such a thing, too, like a pap smear that to find out how thick the uterine lining is for example that you can have done vs. going in and doing surgery to find out what is going on or doing a D & C? We are looking at both the ovaries as well as uterine lining.
