Does a cyst mean I'm at risk for ovarian cancer?- This question might come up when a cyst is detected and here is something I found to back up the concern.
Health- MSNBC.comtaken from : http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11700005/Studies have shown that cysts found prior to menopause are benign more than 90 percent of the time. Eight percent of women without any symptoms whatsoever, if given a pelvic exam or ultrasound, have been found to have cysts larger than 2.5 centimeters (or, a little over an inch) in diameter.
Now my cyst only one month ago detected, was 6.788cm and it is also benign. What is unusual is the size being so large and how I let myself ignore it for so long. Without another ultrasound done since first one on 2/1/06, though, I can feel a difference. This thing is slowly dissolving along the outer perimeter of my left ovary, I just sense it when I meditate or engage in deep aromatherapy during a hot bath. Remember I saw this thing bulging against my already swollen bladder cause four radiology technicians insisted I drink 36ozs of liquid without expelling before this darn procedure. Let me tell you I was ready to explode or at least void barrelfulls but I really only held 22ozs of liquid. That was all they needed to se my cyst make its Cecille B. DeMille debut on ultrasonic waves.
To make a long story short and informative . . . I am definitely staying on this product because it works ! Oh, how I wish I would of listened to certain individuals last year when they noticed a change in me, hormonally affected I'm sure, so that they would not have had to witness my irrational wrath when all this came to light around early January. Heck , hot flashes and night sweats in 2000 after a doctor-ordered D & C, should have clued me in that I was headed for a journey I was not the least bit prepared for. I resisted at first, I know. I acted out of line, moreso demanding than the ole man could take and I forced him, really, to bail on me. I left myself asking, "Can I handle this alone ?" Me, all by myself, nope never really have been, so this is a test. But I am blessed because my immediate family and very close friends are here with me whenever I need them and I have the courage to share this with the small part of the world that reads these blogs.
