I've been extremely tired the last few months and had severe abdominal pain. I was referred by my doctor for a CT scan which showed a dilated kidney. I've had another CT scan today before sewing a kidney specialist , he told me I also have a cyst in my ovary. Now I'm starting to panic as I've been referred for an urgent CT scan and had blood tests. I've also become very bloated and gassy.

    So , I've had my CT scan today and by the looks the radiographer says the cyst is blocking my urethra from my right kidney causing the urine to go back on its self and therefore causing damage to the kidney. Just have to wait for the specialist to call me back now with the full results .

    Hi kerrie, i hope i can help. Im 32 mum of 4 youngest been 6 months. I have just had open surgery on wednesday 25th feb to remove dermoid cysts from bith ovaries.

    I did lots of research to try and prepare myself.

    I was most scrared of been put to sleep, didnt think pain would be a problem after having 4 babies.

    All went well, was in theatre for 2 hours then recovery for a hour.

    Woke up in masses amounts of pain, was given mophine which eased it. Slept on and off wednesday night. Was seen by my consultant following morning. My cysts had hair, bone and a couple of teeth! Yuck.

    Im home not, unable to sleep any other way but upright in a chair because the pain is bad. Topping up pain relief every 4 hours. But i have no cysts and still have my ovaries thank god because that would of brought many more problems. I dont want to scare you in anyway im just trying to tell you my story. Everyday is better and for life without cyst symtons its going to be worth it. Worst thing for me is not been able to hold my baby or my 3 year old.

    Depending on what type of cyst you have you may not need surgery. Unlucky for me mine was solid rather than fluid filled.

    Good luck with whatever happens x

      Thanks Esther , I'm not sure what mines made of. Hoping it's just a fluid one or something , it's appeared quite fast. It's agonyyyy , especially with the pain it's horrid. Shooting pains down my rectum and front , the blood in the urine etc I deffinately won't miss. And now it's extra worrying because it's squashing my kidney and stopping it working so I'm wondering how big it is. Ahhhh to be a woman hey , I also have a three year old little boy so I'm hoping it won't be major to take out :-( x
