Hello

I had been having symptoms of pain in my back and tummy and frequency to pee for a number of weeks . My gp treated me for a UTI with 3 different antibiotics . The pain remained and bloating and frequency so eventually I was sent to emergency . They did a CT scan and MRI and said I have a haemoraghic cyst that has bled and is filled with blood . I saw gyne yesterday and she says it is 4.5cm and that she will do a lap removal of both cyst and ovary . However first she wants urology to clear me . So my question is what am I now facing ... more tests and more waiting ? Gyne says once they clear me she will remove the cyst as a priority case . Has anyone else been thru this ? I am struggling with everyday tasks now due to the constant stitch like dragging pain in my tummy And the bloating resembles pregnancy mainly in the afternoons and evenings . Brigid

    I had a hemoragic cyst twice and both times they would do an ultrasound after my period and both times they were gone. I went as far as having my obgyn refer me to an obgyn oncologist and he said these cyst usually go away with in a few menstral cycles without surgery. He then proscribed me birth control to prevent these cysts. I would ask your doctor to do a follow up sonogram after your period to avoid surgery if possible. Plus why remove a perfectly good ovary? That takes away hormones.

    Hi Brigid. (That's my middle name! haha) So sorry to hear you're going through this. I've been through something pretty similar so I understand both the pain and the fear.

    I had multiple ultrasounds and an MRI, and my ovarian cysts were seen as "likely" hemorrhagic and/or an endometrioma. I had the bloating (especially at night as well), constant heavy, dragging pain, etc. For me it was bad for about 2-3 weeks. After my next menstrual cycle happened, it did get better. I still get crampy here and there, but nothing like that period of time. 

    If you're going to surgery, you'll need blood tests, possible endometrial biopsy (though if you just have cysts and not fibroids or anything else going on, you may not need this), and then you'll have a pre-op appointment with your doctor who will tell you what you can and can't do the week before the surgery, the night before, and what to expect for the procedure itself and general recovery. That's my experience at least, so far. I am learning that every doctor is a little bit different. 

    Let me know if there's anything else i can do to help. This is a scary and arduous process. I get it.
