I had a partial hystorectomy 2 years ago, well reading the forums I think I had a partial, I still have my ovaries, everything else was taken out..My question is about 2 1/2 weeks ago, I had this severe pain in my left side, doubled me over, for a week after that it was tender, the tenderness was bearable but it hasn't completely gone away. I went to the doctor that same week, I let a few days go by thinking it may be a kidney infection..The doctor set me up for a cat scan and an ultrsound, the results came back from the cat scan that I have cysts on my left overy, the ultrasound came back and said that my left overy is enlarged. No one has told me anything but what my results were, no explaination of anything..I have a friend that has problems with cysts, she said her doctor explained to her that when the cysts burst it attaches itself to things around it, and it drains out..Well i'm closed off, it can't drain out, so where does it go? Wouldn't the infection just stay swimming around? :shock: also with the enlarged overay, I looked up just that and all that came back was oavarian cancer sites...My doctor has scheduled another ultrasound in 6 weeks....Why do I have to wait? Why won't my doctor or the nurses explain anything to me? Sorry this was so long, but I can never make a long story short..;)
