Both of My Ovaries Are Sore....... Posted: 02-06-04 04:40am
I only weigh about 110 lbs, i've always
had fairly flat abs, but now I can actualy
see (what I think) are my swolen ovaries
and they're both sore. Boobs are tender
too. I took a home pregnacy test...
Negative. I'm having an ultrasound in a
few days. About two months ago I colapsed
in my kitchen from pain, went to
emergency, gave me drugs, sent me home.
Has anything simalar happened to anyone
else? Ovarian cyst or should I be more
concerned?

Hi it does sound as if it could be an
ovarian cyst, although it must be quite a
big one to make u collapse any cyst will
show up on a scan or if its large enough
your doctor should be able to feel it
through your abdomen, if u lie on your
back and take a deep breath in and at the
same time press down where it is hurting
you its possible u could feel it yourself
if there is a cyst I could with mine, it
hurt a bit when I pressed in and you can
feel it move as you press down. If you
feel anything or are in a lot of pain or
start to bleed and its not your period I
would go back to the doctor straightaway.
Hope everythings okay

. I have had cysts on more then one
occasion. Each time I ended up doubled
over in pain while they busted. Each time
that I have had one I have gone to Dr.
Sent for ultrasound but because of our
health sytem and the long wait here in
canada they have busted before my surgery
date. In a way it was better this way as
the anesetic makes me very ill. They can
grow to a very large size and get more
painful as the grow it seems to me. Good
luck. Meg

I've Had An Ultrasound Posted: 02-10-04 01:40am
Well today I went in to have some
ultasounds. I say plural because
apparently my doctor ordered both a pelvis
and an abdomen ultrasound. One you need
to have a completly empty bladder and
stomach (pelvis) and the other you need to
drink 4 cups of water 1 hour before. None
of this was explained to me when I made
the appointment. So last night I made an
"executive" desission to fast for the
first one and drink the water at the
clinic in the morning. This was
unexceptable to the "clinic" and they only
performed the abdomen ultrasound. It was
completly useless...... The pelvis
ultrasound was the one that looks at my
uterus, ovaries etc. Which is where my
problem lies. They seem to be getting
bigger and bigger every day. I was
needless to say..... Pissed off.
It seems to me that obviously when
patients are coming into these kind of
clinics, that for the most part it's
because we're not well, we're sick. I
felt disrespected and like I was dealing
with customer service at some department
store, (i mean no disrespect to any of you
that work in this area)
it almost ruined my day.... But it
didn't. Thankfully I had my beautiful son
with me. And we decided to add to our
little family and purchase a hamster whome
he's named "elvis".
I guess I just needed to vent a little to
you fellow readers and posters. I suppose
there's nothing for me to do but wait
another two weeks to find out what kind of
abnormal growth is imbedding itself into
my body.

ovaries that burst. Hope u get better

Yeah, I know what you mean. You go to
the hospital or doctor to find out what is
wrong and hopefully make it better and
they treat you like s@#$ I hate it, but
it happens.
As for the rest of it, are you going to
reschedule the pelvic ultrasound? You
really need to. At age 19, my mother had
an ovarian cyst the size of an orange.
They luckily found it before it burst, but
it could have caused severe damage
otherwise. So, try to reschedule and I
wish you luck!

Still Waiting For Answers.... Posted: 02-16-04 23:23pm
Well my doc called and would like to see
me about some of the ultrasound results.
I'm thinking this can't be good, because
they only call when there's something
wrong to tell. They never ask you to come
in to tell you everythings great. But I
guess i've been expecting this. Plus, yes
I am still to have another ultrasound in
about a week.
As for an update on the pain... Still
there, feel like crampy and bloaty and
nausaus. I've finished my period, and
started a new cycle of bc pills. I now
think I have what might be a bladder
infection? I'll go and see the doc
tomorrow.

Don't worry too much. It could be
something simple. They may have found a
cyst on your ovary (you can tell from a
normal ultrasound and without the pelvic.
The pelvic ultrasound gives them a much
better view.) but good luck and let us
know what happens!
