excuse me, ladies. have any of you dealt with ovarian cysts? more specifically hemorrhagic cysts? i'd been having abdominal pain for a few weeks, then last wednesday i started with pain on my lower left side. i thought maybe it was crohn's related. my pain was so severe i couldn't stand, i was shaking with pain and i heaved up my 3 bites of breakfasr. so i ended up leaving work an hour into the day to have my boss take me to the er. cat scan revealed a mass near my left ovary. after an ultra sound i was informed i have a large cyst a few inches big. needless to say, i am scared shitless. my gram & great gram both had ovarian cancer. my aunt & mom both had surgery for their cysts that had the beginning of cancer. i heard sometimes they inject you with extra estrogen to help "dissolve' the cyst or in some cases they have to be surgically removed.
i appreciate if anyone has any advice for me. thanks in advance.
