A 30-year-old woman in Alabama spent months plagued by weight gain she couldn't explain. It wasn't until this May that doctors finally discovered the cause: a 50-pound growth on her ovary.

In an interview with , Rahn said she first noticed the symptoms near the end of last summer. Her stomach started to feel hard and none of her clothes fit. She had so much trouble breathing that she couldn't play outside with her nieces and nephews. Some nights the pain had her in tears, she recalled, and she couldn't put on a pair of sneakers without help from her boyfriend.

I had people I don't even know come up and rub my belly or ask me when I was due. People [were] loading my groceries and one lady asked me if I was having twins, she told . That's not cool — you never know what a person's going through.

Rahn told she saw four different doctors, some multiple times, as she tried to investigate the mysterious symptoms. But she recalled them telling her that weight loss was the solution to her problems.

Last month, on a day when her pain reached unbearable levels, Rahn's mother brought her to the emergency room at Jackson Hospital in Montgomery, Alabama, WSFA reported.

How Does A 50 Pound Ovarian Cyst Happen

There, testing finally revealed that she had a gigantic mass on her ovary: A mucinous cystadenoma, according to a hospital press release. Rahn remembers an emergency room doctor describing the growth using much more memorable terms.

He gave me the dimensions [of the mass] and I kind of looked at him with a blank stare, she told . He was like, 'Basically, you have a watermelon in your stomach.'

In an interview with Jones said this type of growth— which can be categorized a cyst or a tumor —happens when certain ovarian cells become trapped inside a balloon-like cyst lining.

A 2013 case report on the topic reported that, in the vast majority of cases, these growths are benign. Jones said that Rahn's was too.

Believe it or not, this isn't the first giant ovarian growth to make the news in 2018. In May, a woman had a 132-poundmucinous cystadenoma removed in a surgical procedure in Connecticut, as previously reported.

A growing body of evidence suggests that somedoctors have strong, negative opinions about heavier patients, according to a 2015 paper in the journal Obesity Reviews. These opinions may influence the type of care heavier patients get. That 2015 paper cited research showing doctors may spend less time with obese patients, for example.

And there's no shortage of anecdotes from patients who say they've experienced weight bias in medical settings. A recent story in Cosmopolitan highlighted a woman who was coughing up blood and struggling to breathe. Doctors told her to lose weight, but it turned out she had cancer.

If you see something's wrong, continue to bring it up to your physician, Jones said. We're human and sometimes we don't see what the patient's seen or we perhaps don't appreciate the problems thepatient is having. But continue to bring that up, and if you're not satisfied, make a follow-up appointment.

He also suggested writing down your concerns on a list and bringing it to doctor's visits, and asking a loved on to tag along to appointments.

Sometimes [loved ones] have insight that you don't have, or they just see the same problem in a different way, Jones said. Different communication styles sometimes allow us as physicians to better understand what's going on and help make that diagnosis.

Nobody knows your body like you know your body, she told . If you notice something wrong with you, ask for a recommendation, call other doctors. Don't stop. Just keep pursuing it.

She was cleared to return to work in mid-July and told that, even though the foot-long incision in her abdomen makes it tough to bend over, she's feeling really good.
