ovarian cysts
Posted , 3 users are following.
In june 2001 i had a partial hysterctomy ( left my both ovaries) for about the last 3 to 4 years i've been suffering with excrutiating lower abdominal pain, every10 to 12 weeks which was usually brought on after going to the loo. my G.P always concluded it to be a 'bug' prescibed painkillers and so it went on. then in january 2008 after an episode i couldn't move around, walk or do anything because of the pain and was rushed in to hospital, where after numerous tests and scans they discovered a cyst on my right ovary and alot of 'free fluid' which indicated that the one on my left ovary had burst. i had to stay in hospital for 4 days and told they would scan me again in 8 weeks time to see if they had returned or not. when i was scanned in april every thing was good NO CYSTS NO FREE FLUID a ok. not for long rushed back into hospital in may where they discovered a 3.5cm cyst on my left ovary and another on my right. i am now awaiting a laporoscopy because the pain and discomfort is still there, admittedly no where near as bad, but still there.

I have to go for another ultra sound on AUG 20th to see whats happening to it. I hope if its still there they will remove it as I always feel drained and scared to have sex with my husband as it hurts.
I always wonder each day if that awful pain will ever come back

Your pre ass appointment is the same day as my scan
So nervous and I have a twitching eye and tense neck with stress thinking about it.
Just had an awful period which wasnt too heavy but I was in pain and still am a bit. Going out in my car was agony I could feel every bump.
Went shopping on Saturday and then spent all Sunday sat on my sofa all day as I was so tired and even slept
Tonight I feel sick.
At least after wednesday I will know what is what

How big was your cyst?

I was told mine was about 6cm round - although I'm still not sure if it's a endometrial or dermoid cyst - the doc was leaning more to the dermoid option.
I'm just so uptight about all this - wish it would just vanish.

I have my scan in 1hr 40 mins and I am so anxious. I think the surgeon is hoping it has shrank.
I know I am not in as much pain but I still am not right so today will be the decider. I feel sick
Hope your pre op appointment is ok let me know how you get on
