Gosh! It's been awhile since I posted, I have mostly been worry-free over the past few years :yesyes: started university last year, and overall just kept busy and enjoying life. Since, I've been back for the summer, admittedly I have had a lot of time to deep-dive into worrying thoughts I wouldn't have time to worry about normally :winks:
But, I am a little concerned at the moment. After my last period, I seem to experience a few random jabs down there, however the past few days (I have counted the days, and believe I am ovulating at the moment) I have had a constant dull ache lower abdomen, and when I strech my body I feel a stabbing ache deep inside and in my uterus area. I am 24, so I know statistically my chances of these cancers are low, but ofcourse not impossible. I have a fear of the doctors still, and don't want to pay them a visit. I am hoping this is just a blip, something that may just go away on its own. I did have a heavy period last month, and my periods have been so irregular in the past year but other than that nothing too out of the ordinary has happened. I had some discharge yesterday (sorry for all this indo) and it looked healthy, so nothing to worry about there either. But, I really worry about all the stories about how people had "none of the symptoms but were still diagnosed".
I feel like I just want to wait a few weeks, until after my next period and see how it goes. If it persits, I will go to the doctor. My anxiety is telling me that is a bad decision, that I should be paying the doctor a visit now incase I have a deadly illness :(
I'd love some advice. :-)
I've spoken to my female family members, and they've told me not to worry too much and that they experience stuff like this from time to time and pay it no thought.
