I had a follow up w/my Ob yesterday w/the intentions of getting this pesky cyst at least LANCED. No such luck, ladies! The doc is a true conservative!
He felt, that since it's small, not infected or inflamed, moves around, etc. that to go after it w/a scalpel is "overkill" and it could cause more problems.
He even admitted that he's on the side of the conservative camp. He seemed to say just the right things to try to talk me out of trying to be proactive about it. What could I do to convince him?
Well, I asked what to do if it has a major flare up again, and he said that if it does, that he would 'be glad to get out his tools,' etc. Why wait?! My spouse's job is ending soon, and we won't have insurance. He said it's 4 mm in size. Meanwhile, I called a different ob's office today and scheduled a 2nd opinion for mid-June: can't get in till then.
Any thoughts on this? I know that I'm aggressive, but this thing is sore and itches; it also started causing little jabs of pain (not severe, though).
Does it sound like I'm getting the run around or the doc is really conservative and it's going to take me poking my finger in his face to get him to do something? LOL
Thanks in advance.
