These Are My Symptoms.... Posted: 01-22-07 18:36pm
I have some concerning symptoms but i'm
not sure what I should do about it...
I should mention that I had been on the
pill for about 8yrs but have been off the
pill for about 2 yrs right now. I am
25yrs old, 5 foot & 8 inches, and
145lbs. I have hpv and had cryo done
about 3 yrs ago. I have regular paps and
they have all come back normal since my
cryo.
I have had painful intercourse> it
feels like a bad bruise inside my abd
region. But this only happened a
few times it doesn't happen every time.
I have had pain in my ovaries. Usually it
feels like pressure that comes on strong
and gets worse but then goes away.
Sometimes when I stand up i'll get a sharp
pain in my ovaries and it also happens
sometimes if I cough. Sometimes I get an
odd pressure/pain feeling in my ovaries
and i'll feel the need to stretch out my
lower abd. It then goes away.All of this
didn't really concern me too much except
that one evening the pain was so bad that
it scared me and I was even going to go to
the er. I ended up taking a gravol and
going to bed instead. This is happening
more and more lately. This is not gas and
it is not menstrual cramps.
I have been feeling very nauseous and
bloated lately and my abd looks like it's
swollen at times. Last month I was late
getting my period for like 2 wks. I
started waking up in the middle of the
night feeling like I was going to vomit.
I thought that I was pregnant but that was
not the case. Lately I have had
indigestion quite frequently-which is
unusual for me.
The more I research this online the more I
think I should go to the doc but then the
symptoms go away and I feel great. So I
did't end up going. Plus I had a pelvic
exam done during my last pap in oct'06 and
everything went fine.
I am not sure what to do about this. As
these symptoms could just be nothing. I
mean maybe i'm just reading too much into
things? Or should I just get it checked
anyway? The thing is, is that I hate
going to the doc- I had been sexually
assulted in the past and every time I go
to the doc for woman problems it remindes
me of it. I end up crying my eyes out and
making a fool of myself. I don't want to
be labeled as the crying girl that thinks
she has medical issues when she don't. I
know this sounds stupid but that's how I
feel. I
don't want to go only to find out that
this is nothing and that I have only
wasted my doc's time....???What should I
do?
Has anyone else had these symptoms? What
did you do? Do you think these symptoms
are just random and unrelated?
Please help!

Wow, we pretty much have the same story to
tell...
I, too, had hpv and two cryos were
performed (about 3 years ago). I have had
normal pap smears since then.
I've been having painful sex for about a
year now. But unlike you, it's almost
every time for me - it really sucks. I
also get the cramping/pelvic pain
occasionally. When I cough, sneeze,
stretch, etc. I actually went to the er
in may of '06 because the pain was so bad.
They suspected endometriosis, but it
wasn't that. To be honest, they never
figured out what was wrong with me.
I am now almost 20 weeks pregnant, and I
discovered that I have a tilted uterus.
This explains a lot of my symptoms, so
i've come to the conclusion that that's
where the pain is coming from. But like I
said before, the doctors could never tell
what was wrong. I would suggest going to
the doctor (even though it may be
uncomfortable, it's the best thing), and
make sure they thoroughly check you out.
I hope you find some answers!
