I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and a hormone imbalance when I was 14 due to irregular periods and mild male pattern hair growth. This seemed to get better as I got older and now I've been having periods every single month since coming off the pill back in 2012.
Last year I began experiencing period pains that were like no other. I'd have to get into a hot bath and lay down as the cramps were very strong. They often traveled down into my back passage and made me feel like I needed to poop. This didn't happen every month but more than I was happy with. It also became very painful to sit down.
This didn't happen for a while and in September I felt like a pulling pain in my pelvic area. Sometime I feel this sensation if I stretch in bed. Due to stress my periods started arriving earlier. But I've been having cramps the week before and after my period. The pain is on both sides of my pelvis, near my bladder and my lower back which travels down my legs.
The rest of the month I'm fine, sometimes get a little cramping but around my period it's awful and I have to constantly have a hot water bottle on my lower abdomen/pelvic area.
Ive seen a nurse and had a pelvic exam. Also had a swab test to rule out infection which came back negative. I asked about ovarian cancer and she said from feeling my pelvis I have nothing to worry about.
Any advice would be really appreciated x

Also forgot to add I've been experiencing what I imagine to be hot flashes and am always hungry!
