Constant pressure

Ok so I have been feeling some constant pressure in my middle lower abdomen. It feels like if I have to pass gas or go to the bathroom. But not the case. Also like the feeling when you are in labor and its time to push. But not that bad. If I am busy, I forget that its even there. But its seems to be all the time. Anyone have similar experience or an idea what it can be?? When I look it up, I come up with Ovarian cancer and/or Colon cancer. There are other things to but since its my only symptom, its hard to figure out. Its been over a week. Thoughts?

I have an appointment April 6th. I dont believe anyone in my family has/had a cancer like that. I am adopted and only have family history up to when I was born(26 yrs ago) Nothing on it says anyone had any cancer. I looked up IBS too but it doesn't seem to fit? But what do I know! The other day when I was walking I felt a pain where I would believe my right ovary is. It went away. I had that feeling before when I was pregnant and ended up having a small cyst on my ovary and it went away by my second trimester. Could an ovarian cyst cause pressure? I was reading on the gyno board by the doctor that when its a bowel issue its usually located on left side of the abdomen. So that might rule out that?

have you read into IBS because that sounds like that could be what you have only a milder case however if someone in your family has ovarian cancer and colon cancer then you should go to the doctor asap to verify or nullify those thoughts... i hope this helps some....
