Cysts stuck to uterus and should I wait or go private.

Hi All

I have had a really bad experience with the NHS my story begins last June 2017 this is in Ramadan. My stomach swell up for 2 days and I was in agony getting sharp pains all over my back, front and sides and legs.

I was told by my GP its was due to severe bloating I may have IBS and to take Buscoponm Cramps and the normal tablets.

I took this for 2 months nothing worked. My periods came down to a day. I went back to my GP demanding a blood test and got told after a few days that I need to be referred to an gynecologist emeregency as my blood test indicates that there is something blocking my periods.

I was referred waited two weeks nothing i went back to my GP and was told my referral went astray. The GP than referred me again. I was given an appointment before going I was told to do a scan and blood test. I went in and the gynaecology took me to one side and told I may have a cancerous cysts to be 100% sure to have the scan done again and the blood test. I had this done and chased the hospital twice for my results. After a few months this being in October I was told to sign a document for my op which shows I have a cysts on each of my overies maybe more but I did not do an indepth scan for religious reasons. I have both cysts stuck to the uterus wall. Which they will need to fix.

I had my three month pre asssessment done in January only for me to ring them constantly as I am sick and tired of having a huge belly.

I have gained so much weight and is anyone experiencing loads of facial hair. I am getting loads more which is depressing and should I wait until the end of April my 18 weeks or go private.

I was told the after effects is a year to heal and no heavy lifting emotional mood wings and to keep active afterwards.

I am so scared as I want to get married and have a child but my chances are very small. Is this true?

It's a very personal decision to go private, but personally I had a extremely positive experience with it, which contrasted sharply with a subsequent stay in hospital for meningitis on NHS. I saw the local bsge endo surgeon privately, got longer appointments, additional support and a far better hospital environment and nursing.

I'm afraid I don't know much about PCOS so hopefully some other ladies can help with their experiences.

Thank you for your reply. I am just stuck in limbo at the moment do I hold on and wait or go private?

It is very unlikely that if there in cancer there that you wouldn't have been admitted within a max of 2 wks more likely 7 to have these dealt with. Most cysts are harmless. They cause pain. Usually they are monitored. If they grow fast, change or get to 5 cm they are removed. Perhaps ask your doctor to send you to another Specialist to get second opinion. Even a private Specialist will not operate. I would ask your doctor if you don't have the information of the report, size and type of cysts found.

Good Luck
