    It sounds more like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) than cancer. Its a hormone imbalance, I have it too. But to diagnose it you need to go and see a doctor about it. To test for it they do a blood test and then they do an ultrasound to check your ovaries for any cysts.

    Whatever it is you should really go and see a doctor right away.

  • I am not a professional but from my experience it's a hormone imbalance. This could explain the weight gain too. It's worth speaking to a doctor ( who by the way is used to dealing with complaints far far more embarrassing than yours ). If it is a hormone imbalance it can be easily treated and surely that is better than all this worry that you are putting yourself through.
