I have had rupturing ovarian cysts off and on since age 18. More recently (over the past couple of months) I have been feeling very uncomfortable in my lower abdomen. I feel bloated and gassy. I am nauseated after eating most of the time. I have put on alot of extra weight Aprox 10 pounds over the last 3 months. Over the past year I have been having PMS symptoms that I had never had ( irritability, extreme depression, my last period although on time was spotty and lasted only 2 days, I normally last 5 to 6 days). my bowel habits are regular at times but at times are not. I sometimes have thin mucousy stools with lots of cramping other times I have diarrhea with extremely painful cramping like labor pain. I can usually feel gas rolling in my stomach but it does not pass easy.
Is this normal aging or may I have a worsening condition with the cysts or possibly ovarian cancer?
