CHRONICPAIN: Lower left pelvic pain/blood streaks in cervical mucousFrom: Shannon (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 13 Sep 2007 22:35:26 -0500 (CDT)
Hello: I'm 25 and have never been pregnant or had any gyn problems before. FOr the past few months, I have had bloody streaks in my cervical mucous accompanied by a slight, pinching pain on my lower left side. The pain sometimes radiates down my left thigh. My gynecologist told me that it was mid-cycle pain and nothing to worry about. She did a pelvic exam and Pap smear. Neither indicated any problems but she sent me for pelvic & transvaginal ultrasounds just in case. The ultrasounds noted a mild thickening of the endometrium lining, but she wasn't concerned because I was about a week away from my period. I am having the pain/spotting intermittently, not at midcycle, and it always lasts at least 2-3 days. I noticed the spotting/streaking gets heavier when I workout (running, cycling). My cycle has been irregular too (between 32-37 days the last few months) and my menstrual cramps have gotten worse - to the point that I feel like I might vomit or pass out. I have an appointment next week to discuss further diagnostic work (laproscopy or hysteroscopy) but in the mean time, I am concerned that I'm bleeding and in pain and so far my doctor has not been able to determine why. Could this be a polyp or fibroid? How concerned should I be that this could be uterine or endometrial cancer, given my age, very good health, and no family history of gynecological cancers (that I know of)?
