Ovarian cyst question

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am 59, postmenopausal, on estradiol since 2002 with some progesterone before hysterectomy for complex hyperplasia with atypia in 2007.

A week ago I had excruciating pain in my abdomen, went to the ER, and woke up with an appendectomy. The pathology report shows that it was needed. However, a CT scan was done and an incidental finding (which they neglected to tell me about and I only found out because I asked for the scan report) was of a 5.3x4.9 cm "water attenuation" left adnexal cyst. I can't believe they weren't going to mention this, but they weren't and didn't, even though I have been released from the surgeon who did the surgery.

Does anyone know what water attentuation means, and if it's good or bad? I'm going to call a gyn here tomorrow, but am due to fly east in a few days for a memorial service for my mother in law, which I can't miss.

Anyone who has had a postmenopausal ovarian cyst, please reassure me!

Thanks and best to you all,

Gael

Make sure you get excellent nutrition and I mean things like

And this guy's podcasts on the gut-brain axis, autoimmune, and a few of the others might be helpful to make sure you are getting the nutrition you need to get through this.

I am feeling horrible and all I know is that the WP sent my body into adrenal shock and made me hypo. I did a huge disservice to myself as I did NOT wean off the WP creams but just stopped.

Now I am in adrenal fatigue with hypothyroidism and feeling just awful with high and low b/p palpitations, always cold, faint and weak, swelling around my eyes, dizzy, insomnia, inner shaking and lots of anxiety and a ton of other symptoms.

What can I do now? I belong to a support group dealing with AF and thyroid and seeing an osteopath now but waiting for all my blood work results (couldn’t even get to the hospital easily as I am feeling so poorly)

A gyno lowered the doses to more reasonable amounts but no matter how little P/E I was on, just made me sick. I became toxic to P and now I am non functional and feel like I am dying.

Please....I need some advice.

Thanks so much
