It doesn't sound like ovarian cancer, however, I am not a doctor. I can tell you from personal experience that when this happened to me I was pregnant. Please try and find a free clinic that offers services for the uninsured. You should see a doctor.

It's difficult to understand what you mean, but I guess you are talking about the results of an ultrasound?  If this is the case, there are not many things to consider.  \n\n1) If there is any chance of you being pregnant it could be an ectopic pregnancy (although this is inside the tubes, but will show as a swelling of the tubes).  \n\n2) A pelvic infection is another consideration, this is usually associated with pain in your belly, fever and vaginal discharge.  \n\n3) An ovarian tumor is also a possibility, most of them being benign and not cancer.  I cannot thing of anything else for the moment.\n\nIf the swelling was picked through a physical exam or pelvic exam, it is very non specific, and would definitely require an ultrasound or a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis.  The possibilities are the ones listed above.\n\nHope it helps, any further question just mail me.

Unexplained abdomenal swelling can be an early sign of ovarian cancer and with an abd. ultrasound can be ruled out along with the lab test CA-24.  Ovarian cancer can be missed in the early stages so it is best to rule out and go from there.  Is there a family history of ovarian cancer?  Are there any changes in her stool? Constipation or diarrhea?  Is the bloating constant?  Any pain?  A consultation with a physician is a good place to start and a woman of her age should have an annual OB/GYN check as well.  Best Wishes

First off, a Pap Smear is very important, but it will not find an ovarian cyst or cancer.  A Pap detects cervical cancer and STDs which are seen due to changes in the cervix:\n\nThe Pap smear is not intended to detect other forms of cancer such as those of the ovary, vagina, or uterus.  http://www.medicinenet.com/pap_smear/article.htm\n\nThese are the symptoms of an ovarian cyst, and when you should call a doctor:\nMany women have ovarian cysts without having any symptoms. Sometimes, though, a cyst will cause these problems:\n\npressure, fullness, or pain in the abdomen \ndull ache in the lower back and thighs \nproblems passing urine completely \npain during sexual intercourse \nweight gain \npainful menstrual periods and abnormal bleeding \nnausea or vomiting \nbreast tenderness \nIf you have these symptoms, get help right away: \n\npain with fever and vomiting \nsudden, severe abdominal pain \nfaintness, dizziness, or weakness \nrapid breathing  http://www.4woman.gov/faq/ovarian_cysts.htm\n\nOvarian cysts can usually be seen with a pelvic ultrasound.  \n"The diagnosis of an ovarian cyst is usually conformed (or made) by ultrasound, the best imaging technique for ovarian cysts."  http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=8432

You need to go see your gynecologist, because there  could be some  \nfibroid tumors, endometriosis, ovarian cancer and even uterus cancer.  That happen to me almost 4 years ago come January.  The first one was about 1/10 and the second one was about 1/21.  I went to my gynecologist and that June I had a hysterectomy, of course I had fibroid tumors.   Get checked out.  And to ease your mind a little a lot of females go through that change when your period is just changing cycles.

I asked the same question because I just had one. They said yes because you can still get vaginal cancer and ovarian cancer.

Ovarian Cyst Definition\nAn ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops near the surface of the ovary. The ovaries are two small organs on each side of a woman's uterus that produce eggs and female hormones. Mostly an ovarian cyst is small and benign (not cancerous). However, the larger ovarian cyst can cause pain and other problems. A woman can develop one or many ovarian cysts.\n\nOvarian Cyst Causes\nStructures called follicles normally grow in the ovaries each month. They produce hormones and release an egg during ovulation. In some cases, follicles may become cysts. There are two main types: \n\nFunctional cyst – occurs when a normal monthly follicle does not mature properly and the egg is not released. These cysts often go away on their own within one to three menstrual cycles.\nFollicular cyst – can occur after an egg is released. These cysts usually go away on their own in a few weeks.\n\nMost ovarian cysts are functional cysts and only occur during childbearing years. Many other, less common types of benign cysts can also develop from ovarian tissue. For example, women with endometriosis may develop endometriomas. Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue from the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. Endometriomas are cysts that grow from the uterine tissue on an ovary.\n\nPolycystic ovary syndrome is also associated with cysts. Women with this condition have several small cysts in their ovaries.\n\nA very small percentage of women have cysts that are caused by cancer.\n\nOvarian Cyst Risk Factors\nA risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition. The main risk factor for ovarian cyst is being a woman of childbearing age.\n\nOvarian Cyst Symptoms\nMost ovarian cysts do not cause symptoms. When they do, pelvic pain and irregular menstrual bleeding are the two most common symptoms. Pain is usually caused by: \n\nDirect pressure from the cysts on the ovaries and surrounding structures. This causes chronic pelvic fullness or a dull ache.\nBleeding from a cyst into and around the ovary. This causes more intense, sharp pain.\n\nPain may come and go on a regular basis. Or, it may become more noticeable just before or after a period or during intercourse.\n\nOther symptoms may include: \n\nUrinary discomfort associated with bladder pressure or irritation\nNausea\nDiarrhea\n\nIn rare cases, an ovarian cyst may become twisted and cut off its own blood supply. This can cause severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever. This requires immediate medical attention.\n\nOvarian Cyst Diagnosis\nThe doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a pelvic exam. This includes feeling the ovaries. ovarian cysts are often found during routine pelvic exams when there are no symptoms.\n\nIf a cyst is suspected or found on physical exam, the doctor may recommend a pelvic ultrasound. This is a test that uses sound waves to create images of the ovaries, from which the doctor can determine the type and size of the cyst, and if treatment is needed.\n\nOther tests or procedures may be used if a cyst: \n\nDoes not go away after several menstrual cycles\nGets larger and more painful\nDoes not appear to be a simple functional cyst\n\nOther tests may include: \n\nLaparoscopy – A thin, lighted tube and other small instruments are inserted through several tiny incisions in the abdomen to look at the ovaries directly, drain fluid from a cyst, or take a sample for biopsy.\nBlood test for the protein CA-125 – This test is done when a cyst is suspected of being cancerous. CA-125 is sometimes elevated in the case of ovarian cancer.\n\nOvarian Cyst Treatment\nTreatment depends on your age, menstrual status, the size and type of the cyst, and your symptoms. The main types of treatment are:\n\nWait and See – This approach involves waiting a few months to see if the cyst goes away on its own.\n\nBirth Control Pills – If you have a functional cyst, your doctor may prescribe bi

Hi. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer when I was 25. I do remember the ob-gyn handing me a check-list of questions (about a dozen, i think) regarding behaviour/contributing factors that may be linked to the development of this type of cancer. Certainly 'multiple sexual partners' was on this list, but i don't recall a question about my partners sexual habits. I was told that multiple partners could increase the risk of being exposed to the pap virus, which is certainly a factor in developing this type of cancer. I'm not aware of any other viruses linked to cervical cancer. Perhaps you could ask your ob-gyn specifically why he asked and what he may be looking for? If your ob-gyn has a theory, you have a right to be kept informed. By the way, mine was 22 years ago.

Try not to worry too much, but it's good that you're seeing the doctor. Harmless ovarian cysts are very common and can cause strange menses, but often a short or otherwise abnormal mense is seemingly caused by nothing at all.
