3rd Cyst and have to wait 2 month for a rescan?!

Posted , 3 users are following.

So I’ve just found out I have my 3rd ovarian cyst. My last cyst was 12.5cm when it was found and within 2 month grew more than double to 30cm before it burst whilst I was in a foreign country and I was rushed into hospital, I am lucky to be alive! I now have just been told I have another ovarian cyst however is only 4cm so my consulatant wants to wait 2 month before rescanning and coming up with a plan. I feel like this is too long of a wait when my last cysts grew 17.5cm in 2 month. What are people’s thoughts?

    How are you doing, Samantha ?

    Woah. Your cyst's are huge. Last time mine was scanned it measured 7x6x5.

    I really think you should talk to your OB/GYN or consultant and explain your previous medical history with how fast your cyst grew and what ended up happening. The sooner the scan, the better.

    You should not live in fear of getting sick/discomfort.

    I think we are being neglected. Reading all these stories and going through what I went through makes me angry. If huge amounts of men had cysts in their reproductive organs, more would be done.

    Something, whether it be environmental or in our food, is causing this. Pseudo-estrogens? I don't know. But we can't keep going into surgery. It's not only ineffective but a disruption to our lives
