MY 20 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAS LOST ALLOT OF WEIGHT, UNEXPLAINED. HAS HER PERIOD SEVERAL TIMES PER MONTH. TOOK HER TO OUR FAMILY DR. DID BLOOD TESTS AND ULTRASOUND, THOUGHT UTERUS WAS ENLARGED AND HARD.  SAID LABS WERE NORMAL, BUT NOW SHE HAS BRUISING DOWN LEGS AND SIDES AND IS SO THIN ABOUT 30 POUNDS SINCE CHRISTMAS AND SHOWED ME LYMPH NODES IN GROIN ARE ENLARGED, HAS HAD NIGHT SWEATS AND IS ALWAYS TIRED. COULD SHE BE MISDIAGNOSED WITH SOME FORM OF CANCER
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your daughters situation and problem. Possibility of cancer is unlikely in her case because she is of 20 years. And uterine cancers are common after the age of 60 years. So no need to worry about cancer in her case. She is mostly having PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). And the most common cause is bacterial infection. Her symptoms like night sweats, groin lymph nodes, menstrual abnormality, weight loss etc. are suggestive of tuberculosis more. So better to consult gynecologist and get done clinical examination, microscopic examination of culture, endoscopic examination etc. to rule out infective etiology. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
