I am 32, no kids. I am small framed, 5 ft 1, and 102-104 pounds usually. I have written in here before about my experience with pelvic discomfort that started suddenly on April 11th. At first, it seemed related to my bladder. My fam doc gave me 2 weeks of antibiotics (no urine culture). I've since had 4-5 urine cultures come back normal. I've had a transvaginal ultrasound that showed 2 functional cysts and what appeared to be a ruptured cyst, though I never felt any great discomfort from that (unless the uti symptoms were that). Maybe I had a uti and coincidentally my ovarian cysts started causing issues at the same time?
Anyway, it's been a month and a half and I still feel vague pelvic discomfort, like below my pubic hair line. It sort of feels like burning sometimes and it comes and goes, doesn't affect my sleep. I don't have bladder issues anymore. My urologist did an ultrasound of my bladder and it looked normal to him.
Sometimes I go a week without feeling anything, and sometimes I think it is over. Then the day my period started (spotting but still) I started feeling the discomfort again. My period was very light this month but lasted about 7 days and ended yesterday.
I have a pelvic and abdominal ct coming up, along with another transvag ultrasound soon but I am freaking out, thinking I have ovarian cancer or something.
I have had no bloating, no back pain, no change in bowel habits, no headache, no nausea, no loss of appetite. I feel healthy otherwise.
Also, I was on the pill for 15 years until about 3 months ago. I have never had heavy or uncomfortable periods. I started back on the pill 3 weeks ago (Loestrin).
Is it likely that this discomfort is just from the cysts and will go away soon or do I have cause to worry because it's been a month and a half and the pelvic discomfort has not gone away? Is 2 months of pelvic discomfort normal for small functional cysts and what appeared to be a ruptured cyst?
I was hoping the discomfort was related to my period and that it would go away when my period ended, but I think my period is mostly gone now and I still feel a tiny bit of discomfort. On a scale of 1 to 10, my pain scale is about a 1-2 at the most.
I have been under a lot of stress lately and wonder too if this could affect anything.
I can deal with whatever it is as long as it isn't cancer. This is all I can think about, which adds to my anxiety.
Can anyone offer any insight? I am losing it.
