ovarian cancer
Aug 5 2006, 4:38 PM EDT
I am 21 years old, without children. My family has a history of both breast and ovarian cancer. I have been fighting cervical dysplasia for two years now. Lately (past 2-3 months) I have been feeling lower pelvic bloating everyday, all day. I don't drink soft drinks or eat foods that would cause this. Could I be having symptoms? 5  out of 5 found this valuable. Do you?

You should see your gyn/onc or gyn as soon as possible. This could be symptoms of something benign such as endometriosis, benign ovarian cysts, or pregnancy, or it could be a sign of something more serious like ovarian cancer or cervical cancer. Given your history with cervical dysplasia, you should visit your doctor very soon.

Good luck, and please keep us updated.

p.s. When I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at 22, I had gas and bloating symptoms for several months as well, all day every day. While this can be a benign condition, with your history of breast and ovarian cancer in teh family you don't want to chance it.
