Long awaited ob/gynae appointment today!

Posted , 2 users are following.

Long awaited ob/gynae appointment in an hour. Had MRI scan 4 weeks ago. Getting results today. Spoke with my GP last week who gave me a rough run down of my results which were that instead of having a single 12cm dermoid cyst on my right ovary, I now have a large twisted dermoid cyst on my left ovary and a large dermoid cyst on my right ovary with a number of fibroids! GP says they want to remove cysts, fibroids and both ovaries by keyhole surgery but will see what my ob/gynae says in a bit. Just hope he gives me a date for my operation today! Living with these things are hard going!

    Complain to GP and go to A&E next time you're in bad pain. Waiting lists are long in (UK)? I've been waiting for prolapse surgery for over a year now and consultant said it was because I had a cysts plus ovaries and fallopian tubes removed last year. It's probably due to the problems with funding in certain areas too I think. We have to be rationed for elective surgery which gynae stuff is except in emergency situation!
