As some of you know i was kind of freaking out about ovarian cancer, anyway decided to go to the doctors. Explained that i had been having niggly back pain , an achey heavy feeling down below, going to the toilet a lot to wee, etc.
She ended up giving me an internal exam and discovered that i have the start of a prolapse:lac: this is what has been causing the symptoms, it's to the front so that's what's been causing the need to wee as well. It is brought on in my case by having a natural childbirth ( 2 pregnancies) and with them being big babies 10lbs but that was 13yrs ago now!!!! She said that i may have to try this pessary thing that is a ring , it stays in for 6 to 12 mths. Plus also to do the pelvic floor exercises.
I'm just fed up , between all the problems I'm having with my back and now this what's it going to be next, it's never ending at the moment, plus after all of that i still forgot to ask her about my swollen gland behind my ear and the night sweats ive been having, i did say to her when i first went in but then forgot to ask her more............im falling apart and im only 37:sad: but at least it does show us not all symptoms point to the big C xx
