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 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.

cutipup100,
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.
