Cyst Symptoms

Hi everyone. I had a 5cm cyst discovered in June after having symptoms such as pain in my bladder and the constant feeling of needing to wee since March. I am waiting for a 3 month follow up scan, but am having problems such as not being able to process dairy, feeling tired a lot and having some days where I just have to lie in bed. It's really starting to affect me mentally and just wondering whether anyone has any advice. I am just holding on to hope that the cyst reduces and everything gets better...

I know the feeling- I have 3 cysts varying in size of up to 6cm, first started getting pains in early May. Have had several follow up scans and a MRI however my actual appointment with the gynae consultant has been pushed back from July to August, then to early September, now late September. I just want to get it sorted now but apparently the Dr just wanted to monitor and see if they sort themselves out (bear in mind I've had two other lots of surgery as my cysts never shrink and cause me pain). And I'm also dairy free too. Unfortunately I don't have much advice other than you are not alone, many of us are being affected by this. I just try and make the most of my good days by going out and doing things so I don't feel so bad when I'm having a bad day and can't do much.
