New to all of this and a little confused!!!!From: Jodi (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 27 Mar 2003 07:51:40 -0600 (CST)
Well, I am 31 years old and have had "female problems" since my first period. I was seeing my ob/gyn about 8 years ago for intense pain around my ovary. At that time he didn't find anything wrong even on ultrasound. I am not covered by health insurance so I quit seeing him around 1997. This pain has never went away and recently got much worse. I broke down and went back for an appointment last week. The lady who did the ultrasound said both ovaries are enlarged and I have little cysts all over them. She mentioned the phrase "polycystic ovaries", which I'd never heard before, and I began to do my homework -- reading many books and searching the net. My doctor hasn't diagnosed me yet...I have a follow-up visit with him this morning. I don't seem to have many other symptoms (only a few stray hairs on the chin, about 30 pounds overweight, relatively clear complexion--although my periods have always been way out-of-whack) but this pain is unbearable somedays. I feel like there is no reason to get out of bed in the morning...all I have to look forward is another day of pain. It seems to hurt all the way from the front right through to my back and then, by the end of the day, my whole middle is sore. I haven't read too much about ovarian pain being a symptom. The dr. said he doesn't believe I have endometriosis and the pain is pretty much around the ovary. Has ovarian pain been much of a problem for anybody else out there? I guess I should atleast thank my lucky stars that I was blessed with the ability to have 2 wonderful sons (8 & 11). I am very scared that I will hear from my dr. today that I have pcos -- it sounds way more serious than I thought it would be. And since I don't have health insurance, I am really scared for my health in the future so I am feeling pretty down. I am just tired and worn down from feeling so crappy most days. Sorry this is so long but my husband and family are really not that interested in talking about it. I guess they are sick of listening to me complain and I don't think they know the consequences of this condition. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for listening!
