Hello dear,
Thanks for the query, its better you get a ultrasound abdomen and pelvis done to rule out any ovarian pathology, because Ovarian cancers do have non specific symptoms. And some routine blood tests done and please LOSE YOUR WEIGHT....And if everything is normal, JUST RELAX and ENJOY LIFE.
Hope I answered your question, Kindly reply me if you have any further queries or any comments. I will be very happy to help you.
Sincerely,
Dr Arif
