Q: Symptoms And Anxiety, Please Advise....:(

Hi, about 10 days ago, after my period ended I felt a mild crampy, burning, tight sort of feeling in my right ovary area. Its there constantly now and I feel it more when i'm sitting rather than standing.
I don't feel bloated really.
I tend towards anxiety and find the more symptoms I read about , the more I feel. Like, now I feel like i'm wanting to urinate more often (symptom of ovca). I was at my gp just yesterday and she did a thorough pelvic exam and felt the ovaries and area to feel and look normal, all else was normal.
But then I read that a pelvic exam is not good to find ovca unless its in late stages.
Should I worry. I'm making myself sick and need to stop reading medical/symptoml sites.

Please give advice....Thank you , thank you!!

It is normal to get anxious when you have new symptoms like this and then do some reading up about it. It's true that a pelvic exam is not an effective way to detect ovarian cancer. However, ovarian cancer is not a common illness, it is much more common to have benign ovarian cysts. If you are still concerned about your situation, you can always ask your doctor for an ultra sound or CT scan. Those tests won't tell you if you have cancer, but they can tell you if you have a growth on the ovaries, and whether those growths are cystic (filled with fluid) or solid (a tumor, which can be benign or malignant). Hope this helps to ease your mind.
