In the past few days I have really had some pretty noticeable abdominal swelling. At first I thought it might just be gas, but this is really an uncomfortable achy type feeling. It almost feels like I am about to start my period, but I am regular as clock work and not due to start for another full week. I have had a persistant pain in my pelvic area, low on the left side. I have been really fatigued lately. To the point of I just seem to come home from work and crash on the couch.

I am in my late 20's and I am really bad about going to the ob/gyn. About 2 years ago was the last time I had an exam. They had some concerns at that time and sent me for a ultrasound in which a cyst was discovered. They watched it for 2 months and when I went in for a follow-up it had actually gone away and they saw nothing else. They commented that people get cysts all the time that can just go away after having your period. I have not been back since to the doctor since that time, so it has been awhile.

Now I am freaking out over these symptoms. I never had those similar symptoms before. Do those symptoms sound like a real concern?

absolutely! It's always best to get it checked out. why wait?
especially since you've had them in the past. there's different types of cysts.
woman do get them all the time. it's common.
but you never know. only a dr. can tell you.
hope you feel better. get it ckd out.
