Is passing tissue vaginally normal when an ovarian cyst ruptures?
by mrscodynootchies, Aug 09, 2009 03:09AM
During an ultrasound trying to identify the source of lower abdominal/pelvic pain I was experiencing last year I found out that I, in fact, had a small cyst on or in (they did not specify, and I did not know to ask) my left ovary. They said that I had inflammation causing the pain but that the cyst was nothing to be concerned with and that I would not need any further treatment unless it started to grow. I took the antibiotics and never gave it a second thought until 3 days ago when I was suddenly in the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life.
I was on my period (the first I have had since 5/16, I am irregular) and played it off for the first 24 hours chalking it up to extreme menstrual cramps. After a very long sleepless night and on the absolute demands of my husband and mother I went to the doctor the next day. He had me take a urine test for pregnancy and infection and describe the pain. He concluded (with no further testing) that my cyst must have ruptured. He gave me something for pain and told me "it is going to hurt like hell for 3 or 4 days" and that I should not go to work, rather stay at home and rest. I had been relatively better aside from periodic nausea until tonight when even under the effects of the pain medicine I had 3 very sharp shooting pains and the sensation that my period had just started again (even though it never stopped...if that makes any sense). When I went to the bathroom I had passed a quarter sized mass of tissue. For all the research my husband and I have done I can't find anything regarding the passing of tissue after the rupture of an ovarian cyst and honestly I am worried that maybe the test at the doctors office had given a false negative and that I might have just miscarried. I think the lack of answers is leading me to assume the worst, but maybe not...either way I need to know.
If anyone has any information that could help put my mind at ease I would be truly thankful.
