:weep: Hi there
Its been a while since I've posted on here as I have had a period of relative calmness with health problems - of course now i has flared up again with the latest sympton of pain in my lower abdomen on the right side. Have been to the doctors and mentioned it briefly, amongst other things, and he suggests it could be irritable bowel, although he did mention the words ovaries and cancer although not quite sure of the context as already I had gone into panic mode and probably wasn't listenting properly. He has put me on Spasmonal which hasn't made a great deal of difference. I am now constantly prodding my stomach to feel for lumps, tenderness etc!!! To make matters worse my period has not arrived yet?? I am so bloated all the time as well, full of wind (the tablets did help the bloating) and really anxious about it. I am 46 and have had changes to previous periods which have been closer together (3 week cycles). Could this be the onset of the menopause - does it cause pain? Going on holiday soon to Majorca and don't know what to do whether to go back to the doctor or go gaway and try to relax (could be a problem!) Has anyone else had similar symptoms?
