      hi all i have just been back to the doctors second doc who also agrees a cyst over 4cm should be removed.but said it is down to hospital in the end but is sending me for a second opion.told him i couldnt carry on wit this pain for another 8 wks. so i just hope i get an app sooner rather than later.

    Hi,

    The symptoms which you describe were very similar to mine.  I had two functional cysts (both 4cms) which bled into each other.  I was taking Ponstan continually as the pain was excruciating.  I had a laparoscopy and d&c three weeks ago.   Surgery went well apart from the fact that I developed an infection at the site of the laparoscopy.  I would definitely advise getting it removed.

    Best of luck.
