Stressed and in pain, can anyone help?

Question

I have asked a couple questions about this before in women's health. I'm NOT looking for a diagnoses and YES I know I need to see a doctor ASAP. I have an appt. Friday morning but until then I'm trying to find a little peace of mind. Inside my vaginal wall, half way in on the left, is like a little "tunnel" that leads to a round, ball-shaped mass. I know that I have ovarian cysts, but I'm not sure if this is something totally different or not. It is painful when touched, and my cysts have become more painful since I noticed this mass inside. When laying flat in bed, the whole area under my belly button (feels like it might be my uterus) swells up and is very tender and sore to push on. I have researched, mainly on WebMD, and came across fistulas and a vaginal vault prolapse. I am 19 years old and have a child, so cancer is not likely, but a possibility. Anyone with any advice whatsoever PLEASE help me.

Answer 1

Oh honey, I am so sorry. The mind is very powerful. I can understand that you are stressed. What you mentioned about it being more painful now that you have noticed the mass...is very accurate. When you focus your energy on stressing about a health problem, it almost always makes it feel worse. I have also been having health (teeth) problems that are totally encompassing, and I *can't* possibly put it out of my mind. All that I can suggest is to change *how* you are thinking about it. Instead of worrying about it and making yourself miserable, try to use your own energy to visualize healing yourself. Instead of projecting/manifesting negativity, send positive healing thoughts to your body. Tell your immune system how incredibly strong and smart it is, and how it is fully capable of healing your body. I know it sounds crazy...but it will help you to feel better. When you guide your body to do this, you need to be 100% confident in what you are thinking. Not only will it actually lessen the physical pain that you are feeling, but it will also help lessen your anxiety about it until your appointment. Whatever treatment the doctor gives you, continue this practice. It will help you heal quickly.

Answer 2

First of all stop playing with it. If it hurts when you touch it, don't. If it hurts when you lay flat, have you tried sleeping in a recliner or propping pillows up so that you are at an angle. This could relief some of the pressure and let you sleep. You only have to Friday to go, try not to fret too much. 19 if very young to have these problems, I wish you well.

Answer 3

hey, sorry, I'm one of those "see a doctor" people....but for the time being (and as long as you're not breastfeeding) you could take Ibuprofen (best known brand is Advil) extra strength....it is an anti-inflammatory so it should take down the painful swelling. Other than that though I don't know what to tell you. Hope u feel better soon!

Answer 4

Yes pressure and again suffering can also be similar. Mild endeavor can aid. But, to ensure it isn't some thing scientific, have this individual pass see a Doc for a bodily. Back suffering is usually a Sign of some thing extra critical.

Answer 5

I'd recommend either calling a nurse line, if you can find one, or going to the emergency room. Even if its something that clinically can wait until Friday, the peace of mind in looking into it now would be worth it. If its something worse, then its even more the reason.

Good luck!

Answer 6

I'm sorry you're in such discomfort. Be sure to regularly check your temp. If you develop a fever go to the ER. If you are in extreme pain (*it seems you are*) contact your urgent care and try to get in sooner. I hope you find some comfort.
