OVARIAN CYST BURST FREE
I've been dealing with these digestive issues for literally a year. The digestive issues are so stressful and then stress can adversely affect your digestion as well. If there's still no improvement, I will definitely get another doctor's opinion.
Have you found that with your doctors? Kind of a paternalistic, 'doctor knows best' attitude as opposed to collaborative. My current doctor is an improvement on the previous one but still rather dismissive- not patient centred. Thanks, I've already had to change doctor over the ovarian cyst because the first doctor wasn't taking my abdominal bloating seriously. Prior to being diagnosed with breast cancer I had lost 3 stone just from finally listening to my body and I'm telling you I was constantly eating really fresh yummy stuff.ĭon't despair have your cyst removed then make a plan to treat your body with care you will feel better if you have some control back instead of waiting for doctors to give it to you. The key is to understand what hormone imbalance you have that's causing the cysts and build your own sensible diet around that. Extreme as it sounds the weight just fell away and after years of every diet and exercise regime imaginable it was that easy. For me it was following a vegan low gi diet with no processed foods at all that worked. There are lots of forums out there for advice on eating with pcos to lose weight and it's really dependent on what hormones you have to few or much of. Took me years to get a diagnosis of PCOS and then to be honest there isn't much medical help just the "lose weight helps" mantra but the understanding that fluctuations in hormones actually make it harder for you to lose weight. Ovarian cysts under 5cm are almost always benign so the size of the ovarian cyst is worrying me.Ĭan anyone else relate? I feel so alone with this.nobody really understands what it's like. But it's very large (10cm) so that could indicate a malignant tumour. It's unlikely as the cyst is a dermoid ovarian cyst and they're usually benign. There's a small chance the cyst could be cancerous-a biopsy will have to be done.
I'm very self conscious about the abdominal bloating associated with the ovarian cyst and just feel fat & unattractive all the time.
It's really getting me down- my body image is at all an time low. I feel like my metabolism is totally messed up and that I'll never lose weight. I've no idea how as I walked 10 miles yesterday and ate healthily. I then stepped on the weighing scales this morning and gained 1lb back. I stepped on the weighing scales yesterday and had lost a little bit over 1.5lbs. I'm struggling to lose weight and I can't help feeling that it's because of the ovarian cyst. I have an ovarian cyst which will be removed surgically in a few weeks time.
