I recently had a CT scan and ultrasound done to find out that I have a huge cyst 18cm X 18cm X 10cm on my right ovary. I'm not sure how long this developed, but I did recall throughout last year, I kept having severe lower abdominal pain, and my family doctor kept telling me I'm stressed and have severe constipation and prescribing me medications just to relieve that pain.... My advice, always take second opinion from another doctor...
My OB/gyn said that they would have to cut vertically below my belly button to remove that large cyst. Is this the only option?? If you had other methods of cyst removal, or heard of any other, please advice. Since this method of removal would put me in 6 weeks of recovery... I think my company might as well terminate my employment as they are during their downtime. I'm scheduled for my surgery this Thu. 2/22. Hopefully I can at least work from home w/ my laptop the last 3 weeks of my recovery....
