Cindy,

Hello, im 35 years old and i have severe endometriosis. Last February I had a complex cyst. My doctor wanted to wait and see if it went away. I had another ultrasound done 5 weeks later and it went away.

Recently, i had another complex cyst 4 cm. I was planning a trip out of country so i wanted to have the cyst removed in case it burst. I think i had my cyst for about 2 months because i was experiencing low grade fevers, nausea, depression, breast tenderness and also anxiety. So, i believe the symptoms are related. My fevers have gone away along with the nausea and breast tenderness.

By the way, i didnt get to go on my trip because after my simple laparascopy to remove the cyst and some adhesions I had complications. After the surgery they couldnt stabalize me because my blood pressure kept falling. I had to be rushed to another hospital because i was at an outpatient hospital. To make a long story short, I had internal bleeding. I had to have a laparatomy to find out where i was bleeding from. I lost so much blood that i had to have blood transfusions. It turned out i was bleeding behind a muscle, which filled up with blood and then my pelvic cavity started filling up and finally my stomach was full of blood. I lost 1/2 of all the blood in my body. So, im a very lucky girl to be here. I had to stay in the hospital 2 nights and 3 days. My trip to Italy was in a week and it had to be cancelled.

Anyway, I hope you are feeling better. They told me it would take about 6 weeks for me to feel better. Im still very depressed and sad but not from a cyst.

Take Care,

--
Jordan
