Two weeks had this problem, no history of alternative loose Stools and constipation. Every time I have had a bowel movement it's like it and no stringy XXXXXXX just looks normal but floats and is soft. Not on any medication , I have high by and all my family have diabetes but I'm checked for that and always in normal range. I'm concerned about ovarian cancer even though the rest fir it last year was fine , I asked my go before coming on holidays would it be anything serious he said he couldn't rule anything serious out but he would check my urine and do a vaginal examination when I returned and for me not to worry.....

Hello

Thank you for getting back. I would suggest you not to worry regarding cancer. Its NOT compulsory that if there is positive family history then you WILL suffer from cancer as well. Stress/anxiety almost always aggravates a problem. There is a possibility that small lump is actually a cyst and in that case its totally a benign condition. Your CA-125 was normal as well and is a good sign. So you absolutely need NOT to worry. For irregular periods, i would suggest you to once visit hospital and get an appointment for a "Consultant Gynecologist". She will examine you in detail and will advise medicines to make periods regular. Following measures will help to correct the pain and bowel movements:

> Take lots of fluids( water, juices)
> Take Metronidazole thrice a day for 2 days
> Drotaverine thrice a day for 3 days

> Foods that should help include:
- Boiled potatoes
- Toast
- Plain crackers such as saltines
- Baked chicken without any skin or fat

AVOID:
- Milk, butter, ice cream, and cheese
- fatty food
- Alcohol and caffeine drinks
- Foods that cause excess gas like cabbage, beans, broccoli, and cauliflower

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
