Pelvic pain - ibs

Hi everyone, I’m a 16 year old with IBS. I’m wondering if IBS can cause some pelvic pain or uncomfortableness? Sometimes feels like sharp pain in my pelvic region. Today, I was swimming and noticed my pelvic area was hurting a little (like near the underwear line or something like that) . Like right in the middle of my pelvic region. The pain was from slightly below my belly button and a couple inches down. It hurts more when I press on it. Well, not just the pelvic region, it’s bascially my whole abdomen, from upper to lower. It hurts more on the lower left side or the very lower middle. I kept having the urge to pass gas but no way will I do that in a place with so many people.  I started having sharp pains and then it went away a little while later. I was burping a few times too. I notice pain in my pelvic region a lot more than usual because I’m like afraid I have bladder cancer or something. I’ve been getting frequent urination, like something is pressuring my bladder. My urine seems normal? The color is yellow to clearish yellow.  I can’t smell any odor. Well I noticed that if I didn’t drink a lot of water, my urine would be a darker yellow and it has a stronger than usual smell. But usually, it doesn’t have smells nor dark color. I don’t think I have blood in urine by what if I do and it’s like..microscopic?!!?!? I keep making me think about the “positive” stuff, like what are the chances of me having cancer, but then anxiety comes back with a question like, what if you like 8 different types of cancer right now and you don’t know it?  This week has been horrible! I didn’t have pain, my IBS stuff was better, I did constantly feel like I need to pee or my “bladder” hurts just a few days ago. It all started Tuesday after reading some vaginal care and UTI stuff articles. I felt fine but after reading those articles, I couldn’t help but think about and google symptoms. And then boom, I started getting symptoms after symptoms and now I feel horrible. I don’t really wanna go to my doctor. I haven’t been to the frightening, terrifying, hospital in 3 and a half months! I was anxiety free for almost 3 months! Why come back now?! IBS is flaring up. I’ve been so bloated these past few days (especially before  and during swimming). I did have some Pepsi before and it was gassy...I also had chicken nuggets and fries yesterday and then felt terrible after. I’m also noticing a lot of pain, just like before. Upper abdomen, lower left, lower middle, lower right, around my belly button. Some pelvic pain. I’ve have had pelvic pain like this before but I never paid attention until now. Anxiety is getting worse each day. I’m off of CBT for 3-4 weeks because vacation but at this point, I’m probably just gonna google the whole time I’m there. I just have this bad, very bad urge to google symptoms and more symptoms. Knowing very well I’ll scare and stress myself out more and more..............help??
