I had a laparotomy for a 22cm cyst 8 weeks ago, after being in a lot of a pain still my dr referred me to the hospital for a scan. The scan revealed that the cyst is back already! It's 7cm x 7cm and I am only 8 weeks post op.
I have been referred straight back to gynaecology and I am absolutely distraught.
I am still not back at work due to the pain and the Dr has signed me off for a further two weeks as I am likely to need more surgery. As any of you will know this whole experience is traumatic enough without having to deal with it twice in such a short space of time. I spent all of the first day crying as weak as that sounds!
Has as anyone heard of this beforehand? If so, what has happened? I am so upset at having to start right at the beginning again

is there a reason why it's happened again?

are you nervous about your surgery? How big is your cyst? Mine was 22cm and it was my first surgery too, it was so scary running up to it but it was absolutely fine. You have a nap and it's all done. So much better than I thought! Hope you are not worrying yourself too much

My cyst is at least 35cm apparently. They can't track it properly because of the size so it'll be interesting to find out for sure.
Thanks for the reassurance

Sorry you having such a bad time!
It's strange that the cyst came back that quickly! they do say that cysts often come back, and ovarian cysts in general are common.
Ive had 2 cysts, but not sure in the space that it grew as they didnt do another scan until 2 years after 1st op.
I wonder if they perhaps didn't remove it all? although it sounds unlikely.
Really hope that they remove it, and you don't have anymore pain!
Good luck x

Were your cysts big? Are you still dealing with them? X

I had them both removed by laprscopy. I suffer with endometriosis, as well as the cysts, the endometriosis is always likely to come back too, though they only remove it, if its causing a problem.
I've had 3 laproscopys, but am now on medication that is helping me with pain and other symptoms.
My last scan i had showed a burst cyst on my ovary and a small cyst in my kidney, which as there not causing a real problem they will leave them alone for now.
Good luck for friday. hope you get rid of the cysts for good! x

I was tested for blood disorder called factor V leiden Just prior to my surgery, as all the women in my family on my mother's side have it. Fortunately it seems I took my father's genes, which was a massive relief so I can only one imagine how tough it is for you coping with both.
Have the des scheduled in another scan? What type of surgery did you have? I am going in for my second round of surgery on Monday. Nerves are coming!!!
Hope the pain isnt too bad for you today!

i really hope you get great results with your surgery and be careful with that disorder, my dr put me on baby aspirin daily and day of surgery injected heparin. I have the Leiden factor five as well.
