other signs and when to worry

[momterri]

I have had a extended abdominal cavity, possible fluid, weight gain of 15 lbs since october pain
in left side and ovary area on left, some nausea and hurts worst when I eat or drink. I've had ct,sonogram of both pelvic and abdominal and blood work. My gastrologist is calling me a mystery
and gyno in no hurry to see me. I"ve sent report of pelvic to gyno, also cycle different. What do you suggest? I"m 48 yrs old. My fear is a cyst or ovarian cancer. gastro also said ct showed the vessels connecting the left ovary looked enlarge. please give your opinion. Can't see gyno til feb 15 feels like forever and doc seems like no emergency.Should I find another gyno with urgency to see me?

Hi There
Can you please post the exact report from the CT scan? A ct scan will show if there is fluid - called ascites - and large masses. It would be helpful to have that report
thank you so much

Please, Please Please push to get in to the ob/gyn or go to the ER. 2 years ago my mom had the extended abdominal cavity which was ascites and this was caused by ovarian caner. The different doctors kept pushing her from dr to dr and it took a trip to the ER for a diagnosis of stage 3 ovarain cancer to be given. Please don't wait. With the recent push to inform people of ovarian cancer these doctors should know better. Please let me know how things go. I don't want to scare you but if no one wants to see you now go to the ER if you are in pain.
