Cysts, bloating and trapped air.
Posted , 9 users are following.
I have extreme bloating, I look 6 months pregnant. I have a history of ovarian cysts in the past. The last one was 6cm and I was booked to have this removed in hospital. 2 days before the surgery they did another scan to check and decided not to operate on it as it had reduced now to 2cm. I have since continued to have a lot of problems and am not back to extreme bloating but I have no actual pain. I went to the doctor last night about the bloating and he says its air. So I have wind??? It's not coming out though, up or down . I just keep getting more pregnant looking throughout the day. He has ordered an ultrasound and queried the cyst again so at least I will find out soon. What I want to know is: can the cyst cause the wind to not be passed and basically is this dangerous. I have visions of me exploding !

I can really relate to your experience. I can't say for a fact that your wind is definitely related to your cyst as I'm not a doctor, but up until I had my cyst removed, I had the constant feeling that I needed to break wind. When I woke up in the morning I felt a little bloated, but by the time I went to bed at night I felt like the size of the house and was practically waddling as a result.
I was given peppermint oil tablets to help ease the symptoms (the brand I used was called Colpermin which is available over the counter). They definitely helped, although the side effect was farting like a trumpet. Fun.
I'm pretty sure that you're not going to explode, but it won't hurt to keep going back to your doctor if it persists. I've learnt from experience that the more you visit them, the more likely they are to take you seriously as they don't want you see you over and over again for the same problem.
Take care. I hope you deflate soon

The first I had removed feb 2012 that was 10cm.
The second I had removed aug 2013, that strangled my right ovary, so they removed that too.
After they they put me on the depo injection and said I'd be all fixed, since the previous 2 cysts had been on my right ovary.
Low and behold, I went to the dr on Monday because I thought I had a blockage in my bowel, I look 9 months pregnant. Turns out I've another cyst, this time on my left ovary. The bloating is unbelievable!! The ultrasound machine couldn't even measure it properly so their sending me for an MRI scan. From what she could measure it's 36cm.
It's pushing on everything!!! I can't get comfy at all it's aweful!!!
But the previously mentioned colpermin does help with the gassy pain
