Sounds like it

But make sure you get the right diagnosis before you jump to conclusions 😊

thanks elizabeth i have had months of this pain my doctor said 4cm or more they either drain or remove it.i had my hosp app today an had bloods taken.an said she would re scan me in 8 wks if still there then it most prob ave to be removed.but its lasting another 8 wks wit the pain its wearing me down dont know what to do??

its to do with your cyst ,read back on my notes 2013 tc magssmile

hi margaret cant find your notes 2013 could you copy an paste on to here so i can read please 

Hi,

The symptoms which you describe were very similar to mine.  I had two functional cysts (both 4cms) which bled into each other.  I was taking Ponstan continually as the pain was excruciating.  I had a laparoscopy and d&c three weeks ago.   Surgery went well apart from the fact that I developed an infection at the site of the laparoscopy.  I would definitely advise getting it removed.

Best of luck.    

hi debbie please dont let them fob you off,they told me it was ibs ,i ended up having a very large dermoid tumor that was twisted around my ovaries,had both ovaries removed ,i have now a bikini scar,me and my gp fought this or i would still have been in pain,i phoned and phoned get on there nerves ,please dont suffer ,its your body ,you know your own body,wish you well mags biggrin

hi all i have just been back to the doctors second doc who also agrees a cyst over 4cm should be removed.but said it is down to hospital in the end but is sending me for a second opion.told him i couldnt carry on wit this pain for another 8 wks. so i just hope i get an app sooner rather than later.
