Question : Hi, I don’t know if I’m overthinking this or not but I was looking up symptoms of IBS and i came across the symptoms of ovarian cancer and saw that I had some of the symptoms of both. I don’t know if I’m overthinking it or not but it’s really stressing me out. I have never really had a super small stomach but my stomach looks pretty bloated. I also have been having a lot of gas but I’m not sure for how long and I get abdominal pain sometimes. I think the pain and gas mostly occur after I eat though so I’m hoping it’s not ovarian cancer. I also have a pretty weak bladder and urinate a lot. I am only 15 years old so I’m hoping that decreases the risk of it being cancer. Please just help me out thank you. Oh and another thing, I have been doing ab workouts for about 2 months and see no results. My stomach is just pretty bloated. It pretty much looks the same as before. I also tend to have to go #2 quite often as well.
