Operation

Just wondering if anyone has any information.

I'm having opp on Tuesday to remove endo cyst from around my ovary but I've started getting a bit of cold and a little bit of a sore throat. A friend said that with this they may not operate and now I'm so worried they won't.

Does anyone have any idea about this please? 

Thankyou😊

Have you tried Vick first defence spray? It's pretty good at tackling the first signs and effective to eliminate them.

I see someone beat me to it - Vicks first defense spray and paracetamol should sort you out - good luck!

Even though it seems a bit grim cloves of raw garlic are brilliant and sucking whole peppercorns get rid of a sore throat pretty quick 😳😳😳

I had a bit of a cold and they still did operate on me. Try as well lemon, honey, cinnamon and 2 teaspoons of apple cider in boiled water or lemon honey, ginger is good for colds

I've heard it's when it's in your chest and you have a fever they won't operate so hopefully my cold won't get to this point.. Thankyou, I'll give it all a go😊

Hi! Echinacea tea with honey and vitamin c should help too, eat broccoli and leafy veg! It is true that they could postpone the op, but a light cold should be fine if your chest is clear...if you're worried you could give either the ward or short stay unit a ring on Monday morning and ask, that way you won't build yourself up for Tuesday and then get let down! It's really up to the anaesthetist, but I've had an op with a very sore throat before...I normally come round with a sore throat as it is, so it was a little more unpleasant, but at least I'd had the op! They are normally less bothered if it's a short anaesthetic, like the basic lap with lasering, rather than the major surgery excision procedures! I hope it all goes ahead for you, and it goes well and to plan, and you'll soon be feeling better xxx

I experienced seemingly exactly what many of you have, for years with no relief. However, last May, I discovered a treatment which has seemingly cured my endometriosis, PCOS, related pain, and ALL symptoms. Apparently, often times the ovarian pain that occurs as soon as your periods ends is due to cysts but reason for the timing cycle-wise is because it corresponds to the rising of estrogen and FSH so that an egg will be released from the ovary. During mid-end of your period and shortly thereafter, is when estrogen is on the rise...and may of us are apparently estrogen dominant which throws the body out of synch. I began using an over the counter progesterone cream (ProgesterAll) which is also available online. I used it religiously morning and night...into the second month of using it; huge results. No more cyclical migraines, horrible ovarian pain that lasted for days, cysts, or ANY of the terrible issues that I had been experiencing for years. I've currently been on it for right at a year and have never had such regular periods and been so pain free in many years. All of my migraines and 'sinus' migraines and allergies have quit too. I am not taking any birth control pills or anything that could possibly increase estrogen, as the progesterone naturally balances it and counteracts the effects of estrogen...thus, the ovarian pain from my ovaries being literally fried by too much estrogen has totally stopped... I first started experiences all of those symptoms with the use of birth control pills when in my early twenties...I am now in my mid thirties. This is just my personal experiences but please consider reading up on estrogen dominance and the use of progesterone to counteract too much estrogen! It literally gave my life quality again and ended all of my pain and the constant sickness.
