Help please

I have had pain in the side of my stomach, my groin and my vagina for about 2 years now. I also get a 'fluttering' feeling occasionally in my stomach and legs and I also get some vagina discharge. Since started my periods 14 years ago I am used to them lasting 7 days but over the last couple of years some only last a day or two. When I first went to the dr she suggested ibs but the fibregel sachets didn't help. Then I had some blood tests and was diagnosed with vitamin B12 deficiency which had nothing to do with my symptoms. Then I had a swob test done and that came back normal. Then a few months later I had more swobs done and a smear test, all normal. Finally I had an ultrasound of my stomach, ovaries and kidneys and the Dr said everything looked normal again. I can live with the discomfort but there must be something causing it and I have given up complaining to my Dr. I thought if it was cancer it would show up on my ultrasound but I can't help but worry it is cancer. Please help before I go mad. Thanks

Hi,
How are you? What other symptoms are present?  It is good that the result of the ultrasound was fine. However, if the discomfort and pain is still there, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor or be referred to another gynecologist for a second opinion. Pelvic examination and additional tests may need to be done. Take care and do keep us posted.
