Ovarian Cyst Unresolved after 6 months
Hi,
I'm being slowly driven insane by the cyst on my left ovary, so if you could please help I'll love you forever!
To start April 2011 - first symptoms of something not right started to appear - urinary urgency, frequency and UTI'S for the first time ever, pelvic discomfort, constipation (sorry) and PAIN in my hip.
All this continued, and went to the Doc's in September 2011 about the urinary urgency as it was driving me insane. As I'm 24 he decided it was probably Chlamydia and sent me to the GUM clinic (oh the indignity of being young-ish!), who did a PE and found mass. Sent for ultrasound and was diagnosed with 7.9cm cyst on left ovary.
NHS confuses me, and check up scans kept being postponed so I wasn't scanned again until the end of January 2012. Was told cyst would resolve by itself but it was still there, still 7.9cm. Radiographer (or Radiologist?the lovely woman who did my TV scan) said she would fax my doctor to refer me for an urgent Gynae appointment. 3 weeks later I get a letter from my GP saying they want to see me to discuss scan results...no mention of gynae appointment?
I'm worried sick, this thing is pressing on nerves in my leg so that it hurts when I walk (and I walk lots for work!) I have constant back pain, pelvic heaviness and discomfort, bloating, random cycles.
I feel like a hypocondriac, as GP is clearly not as worried as I am. Am I over reacting, is it normal to have a cyst last that long?
Thank you xx
