Dear gals:
Thanks for the welcome!!!
Dear Cookie's gal:
One year ago, i felt sharp pains on my right side (where the blood cyst was at), the pain was bad til i cant walk, had fever, felt like vomiting..
Then went to see gynae who said it's a blood cyst but since it's soft and it's only giving probs like pain and irregular menses (lasting 3 weeks at times), then i just no choice take hormonal medicine, which got side effects like weight gain!!!!
Then in Jun04 i scanned again, found out got a hard cyst growing in the soft one. It was 1cm big. Gynae said if it grew bigger, must take out. Mid sep scan again, realised it grew from 1cm to 2cm, so have to take out, originally in Nov cos i sch teacher mah, dun wanna give up on my students so near to the exams..
But my blood test results not good, it's a test for ca125 the tumour marker, so doc said maybe it's cancer!!!! Need to operate asap, so i did it last thu, now 3 weeks MC.
Please dun take menstrual pain lightly gals!
If it's cancer, might need to remove part or all of ur reproductive organs!
Though mine is not cancer, it's quite a serious case of endometriosis, that wld affect fertility too.
Basically, the backflow of ur menses clots and usually, it will dissipate like blue-black. But for those who have endometriosis, the blood clots dont go away, and they would grow more and more, bigger and bigger, and might stuck up ur organs, even ur tubes, then affect fertility..
So me and FH wanna start family asap..
Hope the above info, tho scary, is helpful.. Do warn ur frens/relatives if they have very bad/irregular menses.. Luckily i found out early, or i may never conceive lo..
