Hi, all. I'm 21 y/o (22 in May), & I was diagnosed with a 4.5cm hemorrhagic cyst on my left ovary. For months I have felt awful. My upper abdomen hurts daily (more upper than lower, it's distended & hurts along my rib cage), I am nauseous a lot of the time, & I feel worse after I eat. Occasionally, I get pain in my pelvic region, but not nearly as often as my upper abdomen. In Nov., I had an appendectomy, & I was told by my PCP & surgeon that my stomach pain was the result of the surgery (I had a ruptured appendix & spent a week in the hospital, so they assumed it was all related). On Monday, I went to the doctor in extreme pain, & they immediately did a CT which showed the cyst. I had an abdominal & pelvic sono done on Wed. which showed the cyst, but nothing else out of the ordinary. I had not had diarrhea until Tuesday, & my stools are now loose & yellow. I have also been urinating more than normal too. All of my bloodwork came back fine. I have no vomiting, but I tend to not vomit even if I have the stomach flu. I have also had headaches everyday the past few days. Hurts on my right side when I breathe deeply. I am just exhausted.
I go to see the gynecologist on Wed., but I'm wondering if anyone has had the same symptoms. My gut instinct tells me that something else is going on (I'm thinking gallbladder b/c of my yellow stools) & that the cyst was found coincidentally. Has anyone else experienced these same set of symptoms for an ovarian cyst?
Thank you all in advance!
