    Hi these symptoms sound very Similar to mine and I have just been diagnosed with multiple fibroids. Many gynaecological conditions all have the same symptoms I.e. Ovarian & womb cancer, endriometis, fibroids and also perimenopause. You need and ultra sound to see if there is anything there. Try not to self diagnose on the Internet you'll make yourself I'll with worry. Ovarian cancer like most cancers usually is accompanied by bleeding. Get yo you do asap. Good luck x

    The symptoms you describe could be anything from a kidney infection to ovarian cancer to pre-menstrual symptoms to appendicitis. The point is, they are vague enough for a doctor to not really specifically say it is one or the other.

    Ovarian cancer does have vague symptoms but they tend to be more bleeding, pain in the area of the ovaries, and sometimes no symptoms at all!

    You can be checked with a blood test for ovarian cancer known as a cancer marker, CA125 This is often raised in ovarian cancers (and often it can be raised for other reasons) An ultrasound can check to see if any cysts may be producing symptoms as well.

    You may well have food intolerances that you are unaware of at this point. They can lead to bloating, achey feeling in the lower pelvic area. You can do an elimination diet of say two weeks no milk or dairy and noting how you feel, then the next two weeks, say, no gluten, etc.

    Try not to google symptoms as you will always get the worst case scenarios every time.
