For quite a few years, I get extremely nauseous, light-headed and dizzy in showers. Well, tonight, I had a shower because I was so cold but I started to get this severe abdominal pain. (I am ftm-transgender, but I still have my female parts, so I'll continue with this->) Its right above where the uterus would be. That entire area is constantly bloated and rock hard. When the pain got worse, so did the hardness of that area, which was odd. And my lower back hurt really badly, too. It was so bad I almost fell. Now... About 3 years ago, I had an ultra sound and was told I had a few small cysts. Do you think they've gotten worse over those few years? Oh, this pain can come on out of the blue, too, and its the worst when "that time of the month" (how gross) comes around.. At that time, it gets so bad that I can't move. I end up curled in a ball on a couch or in my bed, holding my abdomen and taking tons of ibuprofen (never over 2500mg in a day, though) the whole 4-7 days. :( Any idea what this could be, and would you suggest seeing a doctor? I asked my mom if we could get me in for another ultra sound. Would they possibly give me a hysterectomy? Since I am trans*, I'd have no problem with getting that done. I'm just tired of this endless lower abdominal pain...
