Hi,
I've been having pelvis pain and nausea and am scared (obsessed actually) it is a sign of ovarian cancer. I have sharp pains on the left side and the right side (never in the middle), but the last few days the pain has been getting a lot worse on the right side, one specific spot. It radiates into my lower back and groin.
The doctor felt my pelvis 4 or 5 months ago and said it was fine, but the pain is increasing.
I've talked about this fear with my partner and my therapist but they both say that I am in a 'loop' again and need to learn to deal with uncertainty. It is true that I am always scared of having a disease and so far it always turned out I was healthy, so I can't blame them for not talking me seriously anymore. But just because I am a hypochondriac doesn't mean it's ALWAYS just in my head. I feel like the pain is really there and I should get it checked again, but I can't really trust myself on this and I don't want to bother my doctor again because I am there so often (always for something else). On the other hand I feel like if I 'wait and see' I will be too late.
Does anyone have any advice perhaps?
