Polycystic ovaries

3 Replies

Hi ladies, I have (yet another!) question! When I had my last lap back in 2011, the Dr said although there were no cysts present (one had ruptured prior to surgery), my ovaries had a polycystic appearance to them. I didn't question this until recently. Over the past 5 years I have been sent for around 8 scans, each time they've found a sizeable cyst. The most recent scans were February this year and then again in April. In February I had a 6cm loculated cyst, when I went back in April the loculated cyst had popped, but I had a 7cm simple cyst on my other ovary. Should I be worried about this and is it something I need to speak to my gyno about? Grateful for any suggestions xx

Would it be best to get a referral to a specialist through my GP or through my gyno? I haven't seen my doctor recently because tbh I have lost all hope of them helping, I just keep filing my prescriptions, taking the drugs and ploughing through. You're right though, the pain has been slowly but surely getting worse and more frequent and I think I've finally had enough. I just wish I could be more assertive with doctors!

I'm in Ashford, Kent

Thank you for the great advice, I'll make a doctors appointment on Monday and do what you have suggested.
