Hello all! The reason I'm writing is bcs I'm very worried. When I was 17 yrs. old I had an abortion at 13wks. About a year later I had a miscarriage. I was in a very abusive (sexualy, emotionally, & physically) and under an unimaginable amount of stress. I never was treated for the miscarriage and my boyfriend at the time forced me to have sex w/him more than 1x while I was still bleeding & when small "jellyish chunks" were still comming out (it wasn't the same day but very soon after).
I am now 24yrs. old and recently was told that my ultrasound had shown that there is about a 1 1/2-2 inch cyst on my left ovary. The Dr. did NOT say very much AT ALL except for showing me w/his hands the size of the cyst & telling me that I need to go to a gyno to get this looked at further..and that was it! He is a great Dr. who ALWAYS talks and explains everything to you, so I was a little concerned when he was much quieter about my apt. than usual.
I've also been having trouble breathing (shortness of breath-like I can't take full/deep breaths) and some chest pain. About 2 wks ago I was also in the ER for an ulcer. I couldn't stop throwing up and as I was, I had sharp pain which felt like it came from my R & Left ovary straight to my lower back. Since then (immediatly after), my left ovary hurt for about a wk or so (thats why I got the ultrasound).
My concern is, would my abortion & untreated miscarriage be a cause/factor for this? Is a 1-2 inch ovarian cyst a reason to worry??? I am also very scared about ovarian cancer. If the Dr. said it was a "cyst" would that in any manner relate to cancer?
PLEASE HELP ME OUT. I AM SO WORRIED AND ALL I CAN DO IS WAIT UNTIL I GET IN TO SEE THE GYNO. THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!
