ovarian cancer cymptoms

hello, i would be grateful for some advice. For the past few weeks I have been experiencing, nausea, indigestion along with some back pain and urinary frequency- i am worried that these may be symptoms of ovarian cancer. I recently gave birth (6 months ago) and was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis 3 years ago which normally presents itself in my case with pain in pelvic area which i do not have at the moment. I hope you can give some advice.I am becoming increasingly worried as the symptoms persist.

Many thanks, M

nyc lady is right. The American Cancer Society recently put out the bulletin that if you are experienceing the symptoms, and they are new to you and last more that 3 weeks to go and see your Dr.
  As she also said, there is an ovarian cyst forum that is very active and the girls there are very knowledgable. You might ask them the same questions, but I am sure that you will be told the same thing, go and see your Dr. I understand that sometimes cysts can mimic some of the symptoms so it would be best to have it checked out either way. If it turns out to be nothing then it will set your mind at ease.

When in doubt, go to the doctor.  No one can diagnosis OvCa without a complete check up and biopsy.  It is suggested that if the symptoms last more then 2 weeks to be seen by a doctor, preferably a GYN.

Chances are you do not have Ov Ca, but, if the symptoms presist,  you need to know what is causing them.

There is a cyst forum and they might be able to provide more info on the type of cysts that you have.

Best of luck to you.
