Ovarian Cysts, an enlarged uterus? Confused!!
Hi, so I was visiting a new Gyn and told him about my irregular periods, he proceeded to have tests done(blood and ultrasound) to check for polycystiic ovarian disease. I did not get my test results until I had a visit with my primary doctor who asked if my doctor contacted me about my ultrasounds results because they found something, and told me that my uterus was enlarged to that of a three month pregnancy.
So i made an appt to see my Gyn who coldly and vaguely told me my blood tests came back fine and my ultrasound came back fine except that i have cysts on my ovaries so I have Polycystic ovarian dis. he said nothing of the enlarged uterus, and told me if i did not regulate my period, it will lead to cancer and I probably wont be able to have more kids( i have a 16 mth old) he also told he was doing nothing about the cysts, and that was it. My question is why didnt he mention the enlarged uterus and what does it mean with my cysts? Also I didnt get my results till months after the tests,could it have gotten worse. Lately Ive had very frequent urination, fullness in my lower stomach, pains as well in my lower stomach, I really don't know what to think, please help. I would find a new doctor but my insurance was cut off and I have to wait for it to be processed again.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I am so sorry that your doctor acted so badly. I would be looking for a new doctor that you can see as soon as your insurance goes through. Your doctor did not act professionally and he needs to be reported for his conduct. Is it possible for you to go to your primary care physician and tell him what is going on? Maybe he can explain to you what your test results mean. I would be calling that gynecologist back and giving him a piece of my mind. There is no reason for a doctor to act like that. It sounds like your cysts are causing you a lot of pain. You need another transvaginal ultrasound to see if your cysts have gotten bigger and to see what is going on inside your uterus. You can't let your doctor ignore the fact that your uterus is the size of a 3 month pregnancy. It sounds like you may have a uterine fibroid. Please don't let this just pass. You need to make sure that everything is ok. By the way, I have never heard of anyone getting cancer from their period being irregular (of course I'm no doctor). Please keep us updated on how you are doing and what you find out. Best of luck.
