I have a question as to how long approx. does it takes to recover from an ovarian cyst rupture. A little background, I had a TAH w/right ovary & tube removed for CIN III in 5/07, recovery was fine. In 12/07 daily pain from a peritoneal inclusion cyst. 2/27/08 removed left tube with PIC drained (couldn't be removed). 4 weeks post op, ovarian cyst pain confirmed by ultrasound (3cm). At 11 weeks post-op, cyst ruptured. The pain wasn't too terrible and I didn't go to the ER. The rupture was confirmed by Dr. doing an ultrasound in her office. Another ultrasound was done 9 days later for continous pain. There is still fluid around the ovary (2 weeks post rupture). The pain is slightly better but still is affecting my daily life. I cannot exercise and I am sick to my stomach all the time. How long can I expect this to last? And will BC pills (lybrel) help prevent ovarian cysts & also recurrence on the peritoneal inclusion cyst? It seems that the Dr. & radiologist are more concerned with the PIC returning but I am more concerned with the current pain. Thanks in advance for your advice!!!
