Long story short: went to doc with a
bloated tummy 5 weeks ago;told me I was
7mth pregnant, which was a problem cos i'm
on the depo injection;so they put me right
in to hospital that day to get a scan;no
baby but a very large ovarian
cyst;operation to remove cyst,and turned
out to be two cysts,one 3 litres of fluid
and other size of grapefruit;
five weeks on, having hot flushes,getting
dizzy when I stand up(blood presure is
fine),blurry vision at times and sore
right side, can't eat very much at once
and tummy is looking bloated again?
Been to the doc 10 times in 5 weeks and
they keep saying it's fever!
Anyone got any suggestions, i've never
been through surgery before, is this just
normal or could there be another cyst
growing?

Have they done an ultrasound or x-ray,
could it be post-surgical scar tissue,
have you sought a second opinion, I would
if I did not get any answers soon!
Could you be starting menapause early?
It could also be post-surgical infection
with part of it being the healing
process(i am no Dr. Though)!
Sincerely,
sandy

No they just keep on telling me I have an
infection, what I don't know.
I did come out of hospital with infected
internal stiches and had antibiotics and
they kept giving me antibiotic, i'm off
them now. The thing is I feel fine one
day and the next i'm like I described as
above. I feel as if i'm 'pestering' the
docs now, and i'm still awaitng the
pathologists results,
is it normal for them to take so long with
results?

Don't ever feel like you are pesterin the
dr's.! This is their job and this is
your body! I don't know where exactly
you live but when I got staff infection
(post-surgical) they had the results back
in about a couple of hours and I came home
after three days in the hospital witha
antibiotic pump in me and oral antibiotics
after they had cut me open again to help
release the infection(i am not trying to
scare you!) everyone is different though.
I do hope you are feeling better soon!
Keep in touch! Try not to over-do(i
know, easier said than done).
Sincerely,
sandy

Hi it doesn't sound like a returning cyst
to me, I know i've had one it does however
sound like an infection as you said from
the surgery you had recently I would keep
pestering my doctor as you put it until he
has sorted this out. Keep in touch and
let us know how you get on
