Hello everyone. Im glad I found you.
At the weekend my doctor revelead to me that I have excesssive cysts on both ovaries. My ovaries are also enlarged. This discovery came as part of the result of an MRI scan on my back and pelvis for pain there. So the cysts were discovered by chance.
Anyway, doc was asking if I suffered with any symptons such as excessive body hair, thinning of my head hair, missed or irregular periods. I answered no to everything. His decision was to get my back sorted first and do an ultrasound in 4 montgs to revisit my ovaries.
HERE'S WHERE YOU COME IN: Today, I have experienced something new. I am currently on day 2 of my period which is always a very heavy flow day. I went to the toilet to have a poo and although i always find that painful during my period, this was beyond that!! Very very painful in the lower front of my abdomen, I went cold dizzy and clammy and almost fainted. I stopped my self by splashing my face with cold water. After about 10 mins of recovery i managed to get to my bed and lie down. Im still here. I mever managed to have my poo and im scared to try again. Im still experiencing cramps though not as bad.
1. Is the dizziness something to worry about?
2. Should I have mention heavy flow and painful bowel movements to doc....HE never mentioned them
3. Is it likely that my cysts are more to wrry about than the doc has led me to believe?
THANKS
