Pelvic pain & other symptoms- Possible ovarian cancer?


    
Asked by asha_84j (Female; 25 ) on Sat 07, Nov 2009 02:26am

I have been having some worrying symptoms over the past few months. I have been to a couple of doctors but neither of them seemed to concerned. I gave birth to my second child 4 1/2 months ago and had the contraceptive implant put in 3 months ago. The main symptom I have been getting is pelvic pain, which started about 1 week after I had the implanon inserted. It feels like it might be around where my ovaries are. The pain comes and goes and is a dull achey pain. I have headaches, fatigue, bloating, gas and more recently I have begun losing excessive amounts of my hair (no bald patches it just feels a lot thinner.) Could all of these symptoms be side effects of the contraceptive implant or might they be a sign of something more sinister? Would something like cancer of the ovaries showed up on my pregnancy ultrasounds? I have has a thyroid test which came back normal. I am also breastfeeding. During my last pregnancy I had a lot of pelvic pain while lying on my sides at night. Should i ask my doctor for more tests?

Hello asha_84j, With lower abdominal pain you cannot come to any conclusion of cancer or any major problem. As you might have had recent scans or ultrasounds your radiologist or obstetrician might have checked them. So first thing you have to think is removing your hormonal contraception if you continue having symptoms due to this. Consider also to have a ultrasound and to rule out any major problems with your genital tract starting with ovaries, tubes to your ovary and other organs. Take care!
