Should I Be Worried??
In October, I went into the emergency room experiencing sharp pains in my left abdomin. The doctor on call in my small town thought I'd ruptured my spleen and sent me out of town for an ultrasound. I was told that everything came out normal and to just bare it out. I found out yesterday, while going in to get some birth control prescribed to regulate my periods, that they found a cluster of ovarian cysts in that ultrasound. That was 8 months ago. I was supposed to go back in 2 months and now they've gone untreated. I'm now waiting on a call from the clinic for another ultrasound. I'm 16 years old. Should I be worried?
You've waited 8 months to get your cysts seen to? That is ridiculous. I would ring, email and write letters to the clinic until they get you in and get some answers. They may have wanted to wait and see if they went away on their own, so I doubt it is worth worrying about, but if you feel you need treatment push and push them until they see you and explain everything properly.
I'm not on birth control. My doctor wanted to wait until I get this next ultrasound.
Call the clinic if they haven't made the appointment and contacted you themselves or have your mother, father, or guardian do so for you if you don't feel comfortable. You said you are on birth control. This has been known to shrink some cysts, but if you got them since being on it, they may do something else. Things like size and type of cyst will determine their path.
