It doesn't appear your symptoms are that of Cervical or Ovarian cancer to me.
A lot of people have irregular cycles and that is Ok. My advice is that you
need to go to a phychologist to see if you can sort out the real symptoms and
the fear of something being wrong. I'm horrible at "finding" my symtoms on
the internet and jumping the gun on what is wrong. You do need to go in and
get a regular exam. But really, most people with cervical cancer really don't
have any symptoms. And with cervical cancer I did have some irregular bleeding,
but it wasn't like an irregular period. It was my cervix bleeding. Whole
different
thing. Every woman of child bearing years should get an exam every year in
my opinion. Screening is really the only way to detect it. Good luck to you.
Get in to see a phychologist. You don't need to live like this! It'll be
Ok.
