What to do for bloating in the lower abdomen area and mild pain? Could it be cancer?
Patient: I have bloating in the lower abdomen area, mild pain, and I am 61 years old. I still have all my female organs, and I am worried that this might be cancer. I have had pap smears for the last 10 years and nothing has ever showed up but I am still worried. What kind of testing do I need? Doctor: you get ca 125 levels and USG abdomen for further characterisation. if it is normal, then nothing to worry.
