Well I already had an ultrasound done, and they did find some cysts and
other things, and I scheduled for another in a month. I would like to
see another doctor, because mine is not very proactive, and I don't
think he really understands. I would like to get rid of this as soon as
possible so I can concentrate on college. Thank you very much for the
advice.
