Possible Ovarian Cyst? It's really scaring me

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello everyone,

I came off the contraceptive pill after 4 years due to headaches in August 2018. I had heavy irregular periods before and I have only had two periods since (November and January). I went to the doctors with a swollen stomach and was treated for a UTI. Antibiotics did not work and urine test confirmed no infection. I am not waiting for an appointment for an ultrasound. I am so scared it is going to be something bad, I am only 21 and I have the following symptoms:

-Swollen stomach

-Urgency before urinating

-Nausea

-Sometimes pain before bowel movements

Also, last week in the gym I was working on abs and all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain, followed by trapped wind like pain for around an hour after. Could I have made things worse?

Discharge is normal and I have had no bleeding since my last period in the beginning of January. Would appreciate any help or advice!! Anyone with a cyst had these symptoms? I'm getting really worried.
