6 weeks ago I went into hospital and was told I had a cyst on my left ovary , which was about 4cm. I have recently been back to my doctors and had some blood tests done and waiting for a repeat scan. My ca125 has come back high, and I have got to go and see a gynecologist a week monday. I am 44 years old, I was sterilised 2 years ago. I am so worried. I lost both my parents to cancer.
I have pain in my left side all of the time, could this be because of the cyst?
Bowel Disorder :: Narrow Stools - Cancer Or Hemorrhoids?
I produce narrow stools for a long period of time now (2 months). I did it once few months ago but it came back to normal, but not now it lasts .
I'm so scared this can be a symptom of colorectal cancer. I'm only 30 and I don't have any family history with this cancer. I know I'm very stressful. I've seen a specialist who told me I had internal hemorrhoids (he did an endoscopy). Do I have to do a colonoscopy ?
It's like play doh stools ...
These narrow stools are driving me crazy.

View 5 RepliesSkin :: Breast Cyst Or Cancer - Red Skin Bump?
On my right breast, I have a red skin bump. This bump is not in my breast tissue, just in my skin. It at first, looked like an ingrown hair, so I left it alone. But it's been a few months, and its still not gone and looks worse. It is red and round/oval shaped. If I squeeze it a yellowish puss will come out and maybe bleed. I have done exams on myself and never feel any lumps inside my breast. I"m really scared! I don't know what a cyst looks like and have never had one before.
View 1 RepliesEye Floaters :: Cobwebs, Giant Gray Strands And The Clumped
I have a lot of eye floaters and I'm only 15, I started wearing glasses 8 years ago. I have a lot of them. There are ones that look like cobwebs, giant gray strands and the clumped floaters. They are not that bad to block my vision. It's just it's really scary. I've read somewhere on the internet that my eye floaters are benign (I've diagnosed myself which is stupid) Also maybe the reason I have these giant grey floaters is because some floaters are close the retina. I've also read about vitreous syneresis which is harmless. No ,I have not experienced flashes of light. These floaters have been around for over a month now with no change.I am a hypochondriac so I'm afraid I'm having a retinal detachment or PVD or something. I'm very scared but I'm trying to convince myself its a problem I don't have to worry about but the way the floaters look is so scary. I need help guys. I'm sorta new here and I need some help. I am not doing anything that's causing this.
Is what I'm experiencing a PVD, retinal detachment or a harmless and normal case?

View 2 RepliesOvarian Cyst :: Suffered Hair Loss Due To Cyst?
I had a simple 13cm cyst removed from my broad ligament (next to ovary) at the end of June. It had been causing me issues for at least 6 months, including sharp pains, which I thought were linked to the digestive system at first. I had a laparoscopy and feel much better in myself.
The week before surgery, I began to noticeably lose hair from my head. It's now been coming out for nearly 8 weeks. Luckily I had a lot of hair to start with but I've now had to have it cut shorter as looked awful and I must have lost half my hair or more. :o( I've had blood tests and everything seems fine, so Dr thinks it must have been the stress that the cyst was putting on my body, esp with sharp pains etc. I have found this link to PCOS but not large cysts and wondered if anyone else had suffered in the same way and if so, how long the hair loss continued?
