Feeling different after US!!

[Cap54]

I had an ultrasound last week and ever since that I have felt a burning sensation where the tech pushed down, fullness and overall discomfort.  I am also having tons of gurling sounds in my upper stomach area and between my rib chage. I did notice this a few weeks ago, but it only happened a few times. It only happens when I am laying down. My US reveled one overy enlarged - complex appearing with echogenic internal debris and small cystic structures within. On one doppler image some flow within the area but no increased peripheral flow. My right was similar but not a large or as cystic with no increased flow. My Ca125 is 13.7. Dr. Wants to do a complete hysterectomy . I went one step further and researched Gyn / Onchologist . I have appt. in two weeks. I am 60 with a history of endometrosis complications. I went off topic, but wanted to describe what was totaling happening. My question is really in the symptoms I described. Thanks! Bless you all.

Getting a second opinion is good. GYN/Oncologist is used  to complex surgeries.

Sorry you are going through this! I also had a complex cyst, one sounding very similar to yours. My gynecologist also said I needed a hysterectomy.  Even though the frozen section done while I was under anesthesia showed the cyst was benign (MOST cysts even complex ones are benign), he removed all my organs anyway. That was 8 years ago and the problems caused by the surgery are never-ending. I was horrified how quickly I aged post-op. And sadly, the gyn oncologist to whom he sent me for a consultation could have saved me from the needless removal of my organs but instead colluded with my gyn (as shown by my medical records).

Only 2% of hysterectomies are done for confirmed cancer making 98% of them unnecessary. A woman with normal risk factors has a LESS THAN 2% risk of ovarian cancer (1.4% per U.S. government statistics). Endometrial cancer is also rare.

Contrary to what the medical community leads us to believe, our FEMALE SEX organs have life-long functions (just as a man's sex organs do). Ovaries (the equivalent of a man's testicles) of an intact woman produce hormones into her 80's for good health and well-being. EVERY cell in the body needs these hormones.

The uterus keeps the bladder and bowel in their proper positions for normal functioning (removal increases risk of dysfunction including incontinence). The severing of the four sets of uterine ligaments destroys pelvic integrity which is why the spine compresses and the rib cage falls causing hysterectomized women to have shorter, thicker midsections and big bellies.  

So please don't let any doctor rush you into making a treatment decision before getting all the facts - your diagnosis, prognosis, ALL treatment options, the gross overuse / economics of female organ removal, and the many long-term adverse effects of organ loss.

Absent cancer, a doctor who uses conservative, organ-sparing procedures should remove just the cysts leaving you with all your (essential) parts. Keep in mind that organ removal is easier and more profitable so you may need to "shop around."

Hope this helps! Please keep us posted.
