for context i’ve been to the er four times
now. the first time was because of runny stool. they gave me an iv and told me to stay hydrated. second time i had pelvic pain as well and diarrhea. did a ct w contrast and found a 10cm ovarian cyst on my left ovary.

the next visits were because of pain. and the last visit said it could be a dermoid cyst and that it was smaller than before. but i also didn’t have a full bladder. i finally saw my gyn today and was basically told there’s a potential chance of it being a tumor/cancerous. she had said she was wary about it and we wouldn’t know what it was until it was out. i’m lowkey nervous but trying to stay positive. i also learned they’ll also be taking my ovary and tube as well and will most likely have an open surgery. and with that i’m gonna have to stay in the hospital a couple days.

i’m just overall overwhelmed with everything going on. i’ve only ever had surgery once, and i wasn’t even fully put under last time. for reference im 22. anything i should expect seeing a specialist? or any questions i should ask? anything important i should bring up? please and thank you all!

hi! im new here, and i wasnt really sure where to post this until i saw this subreddit.

i went to the er last friday. ive had horrible diarrhea the last week and a half, abdomen pain/cramps, i can barely eat, and when i do its little and then i feel full. nauseous, bloating, etc.

i get in, they do ct w/ contrast and then a ultra sound with the color doppler. they told me they found a 10cm ovary cyst and that i should make an appointment with my gyn. plan on doing that first thing tmr when they open, but does anyone have advice? i’m scared to make sudden movements and it ruptures or something serious happens. how would i know if its twisting my tube? this is my first time ever having something like this at all, so it’s all very new to me. anything i should do to avoid something serious?

and what should i expect when going to see my gyn? i’m gonna ask for surgery to be done instead of just waiting and monitoring it. i rather get it over with and done. i’m still having abdominal/pelvic pains. i’m very bloated. having to use the bathroom way too often.

i’m not nervous ab possible surgery, more so anxious about how long the process will take to make the appointments and the wait time in between.

(i’ve also tried googling questions and some of them just aren’t helpful… at all.)

thank you 🥹
