He said it was of normal size, and it did not require any surgery as of yet - as I did not experience any pain or abnormalities apart from my prolonged menstrual bleeding. He said we were to monitor it and advised a scan after 3 months. I asked Doc what was the cause of the cyst. Doc said no one knew. But depending on one's body, the cyst could shrink or burst.
As for my menses, I could either let it be or I could stop it by taking birth control pills. I chose to have it stopped. Birth control pills could also help to regulate my hormones.
I like Doc. He was very professional. He attended to all my questions. He used the pronoun "we" - it made me feel like I was well looked after. No wonder he was a very popular gynaecologist in town. No wonder his patients lined up every day.
Today, I had walked in without an appointment. I waited for 3 hours just to have a consultation with him. The waiting time was excruciating. But the consultation went off well. And I felt that the waiting time was justified. He was a good doctor.
I'd scheduled my next appointment on 28 November. I hope my cyst will just disappear on its own .....
wise choice to stop the menses, otherwise u will keep on bleeding till low blood. I have a colleague who has this terrible menses and she went for surgery last month.
ReplyDeleteTake care! Pray for your recovery & for the cyst to be gone!
ReplyDeleteThanks girls. I'm much comforted that this is a cyst is a common occurrence. I'm trying to picture it as a blister that is inside the body ... heh. Life goes on as usual .... except that I'm feeling exhausted this week. Looking forward to a break from work. :))
