Me again! After posting a few weeks ago about my fears of bowel cancer, I now think I may have had ovarian cancer all along, but no one is taking me seriously, and I’m literally at breaking point. Reading back my last post, I wrote that I had bloating previously, but I’m scared now as well because I can’t recall this bloating. Anyway, due to whatever made me bleed in the toilet (this has only happened the once) I was given laxatives to soften my stool. Apparently laxatives can make you bloated and feel sick, but I’m convinced these are ovarian cancer symptoms because the bloating feels constant, although made worse by eating. I’ve stopped taking the laxatives as of yesterday and today was the most bloated I’ve been which suggests to me it’s not the laxatives. I’ve also been a bit constipated despite literally taking laxatives and I haven’t had a period in over 2 months. This could be due to stress, and apparently bloating can be caused by stress too, but I can’t shake the fact I think I have ovarian cancer. I constantly keep thinking I have to pee as well. I’m genuinely at a loss because my family all think I’m crazy but this is the realest I have ever felt my health anxiety could be real. Any advice would be appreciated!
Ovarian cancer??

I’ve been right where you are many times. It’s easy to zero in on ovarian c because it’s the “silent killer” that gets missed. Your symptoms can be so many other things. I was dealing with the similar symptoms. Peeing a lot that got out of control when I starting focusing on it. I was going every 10 minutes and suddenly I stopped fixating on it and that stopped. I still feel weird feelings and If they don’t go away I’m going to get a scan of my ovaries. That totally freaks me out but I’d rather have the peace of mind! Try to relax your mind and not fixate - see if things get better and if not, get checked for the peace of mind. As soon as I looked up ovarian cancer, I started peeing like crazy
