Have Pale Colored Stools, Frequent Urination, Ovarian Tumor, Lost Weight. What Is Wrong?
Hello. I have been experiencing pale colored stools for three days, once a day.The size is somewhat small and
I have had frequent urination but no pain. I am 67 years old and was diagnosed with a small ovarian tumor
three years ago, judged benign. I have had no specific follow up and no localized pain since. I have lost 8
pounds in the past month but am walking and working out nearly daily. any clues?

Hello ma'am and welcome.
The color of your stools can at times be pale, this could be attributed to diet. Is there something you are consuming on a regular basis that could cause this?
Is your stool foul-smelling? The frequent urination could be a sign of some abnormality in your genito-urinary tract, and will have to be looked upon. Dehydration due to the frequent urination could also cause changes in your stool. My advise would be to visit a doctor and get both your stool and urine checked.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.

Hi,
The weight loss and pale stools are suggestive of a liver problem.
I suggest that you get a liver function test done as well as an ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis to look for the liver as well as the ovary.
If the tumor is more than 6cm, at your age it needs to be removed irrespective of benign or malignant.
Frequent urination may be due to a urinary infection which is not uncommon after menopause so just drink plenty of water. If it persists, a urine test and single dose of some antibiotics like norfloxacin usually cure it.
Hope you find this useful. Have a good day.
