Symptoms of Chocolate Cysts

A chocolate cyst, also known as an endometrioma, is a type of ovarian cyst filled with old blood resembling chocolate syrup. It occurs due to endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. These cysts can cause pelvic pain, especially during menstruation, and may affect fertility. Treatment options include pain management, hormonal therapy, or surgical removal, depending on the severity of symptoms and fertility concerns. Regular monitoring and medical intervention are essential for managing chocolate cysts effectively.

Chocolate Cysts Symptoms

Here’s a list of symptoms that you may encounter: 

Painful, crampy periods

Pelvic pain not related to your menstrual cycle

Irregular periods

Pain during sex

Infertility for some women

Pain to Possibilities: Understanding Endometriosis!

Endometriosis is a complex and misunderstood medical condition affecting millions of women worldwide. It’s a condition that can cause excruciating pain, disrupt daily life, and even lead to infertility. Yet, despite its prevalence and impact, endometriosis remains underdiagnosed and frequently under-discussed. In this blog post, we will be understanding endometriosis, from pain to possibilities.…

i want to talk to someone who has had laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis and then 5+ later, had to have another one. is there anyone who i can reach out to on here? 

[samkerrworshipper]

feel free not to answer as it’s quite personal but

i know you have endo, what was your diagnosis process like? i feel like regardless of what i say to my doctors i’m just ignored and it’s very frustrating lol

i know it can take ages for a lot of girls to get diagnosed and i have quite a few symptoms but i’m being brushed off

very happy to answer this!

i got my period super early and as a teenager always had debilitating period pains where i couldn’t move out of bed half of the time

anyways when i was in about year 10-11 (16-17) i had like three months where the pain never stopped and it took three months of it for my parents to start to get worried so they took me to a doctor who then got me ultrasounds of my stomach + uterus

anyways i had a really low follicle count which was abnormal and is a symptom of endo and there was nothing wrong in my abdomen so i then got a internal uterine scan which revealed large amount of tissue on my ovaries

originally my doctors had thought it was ovarian cancer or ovarian cysts because of how large they were but after getting my first laparoscopy at 18 (which was originally intended to be a biopsy to check for ovarian cancer) my doctors discovered i had really severe endo

i was lucky enough that i had a really good doctor who advocated for me and actually listened to me and what was happening inside of me instead of invalidating me which i know isn’t the same as everybody else 🫶

What’s YOUR personal experience with these disorders? :-)

Hello anon! I know I’ve made this post before but it’s buried somewhere. So here it is! Buckle up folks!

I always struggled with bad periods. Heavy flow, horrific cramps, irregular timing. I just thought that’s what it is and everyone deals with it. I figured the pain I experienced trying to use tampons was all in my head, some psychological fear due to my religious upbringing.

It wasn’t until college that I realized maybe my experience wasn’t normal. Maybe people aren’t supposed to be in this much pain. Maybe something was wrong. My pain got to be so overwhelming that I went to the emergency room. After a rather traumatic experience, I was eventually told that I had ovarian cysts and one of them had ruptured, and just go to my OBGYN and take some Advil. (Great advice, wonderful care. /s)

PCOS was in my family history, and my aunts and sisters all struggled with it. My then OBGYN diagnosed me with it, but basically said the same thing as the ER nurses. Take some ibuprofen and birth control and get over it. A diagnosis doesn’t do anything.

I had another episode with cysts about two years later, after I was out of college. I knew what it was this time, and I knew they’d only tell me the same thing. Take Advil and stop crying. So I didn’t bother going to the ER, and I tried to deal with the pain on my own. My (much nicer) OBGYN monitored the two softball sized cysts on my right ovary, and said we’d just keep an eye on them until they went away. That worked for a while, but not for long. One night my mother insisted on taking me to the ER because I was practically screaming in pain. After another traumatic visit, I was, you guessed it, told to take Advil and go home. It was probably another rupture.

Except it wasn’t. The next day I visited my OBGYN for an ultrasound so she could see what was going on. I was called back later that night and told to come in for emergency surgery. The cysts were torsing my ovary and cutting off the blood supply. Very scary situation, I’d never had a big surgery before. I was rushed in for the laparoscopy. This procedure usually takes less than a half hour. For me, I was on the table over two and a half hours. The reason being, not only did I have two huge cysts, but I was discovered to also have endometriosis. The cysts and all my organs had lesions, and everything was fused together. My OBGYN had to scrape the extra tissue from all my organs, she said it was the worst case of endo she’s ever seen, and I must have the highest pain tolerance ever to not be screaming my head off all day long. It was during this surgery I lost my right ovary, dead from having no blood supply.

Recovering from that surgery took me six months. It was brutal and at times, humiliating. My insides were raw and my muscles felt like goo. The only good thing to come out of it was meeting my lovely physical therapist, whom I still talk to today.

Today, five years later, I still deal with PCOS and endo. I have it mostly under control with the depo shot and many other medications. But… I struggle to lose weight, I have high blood pressure, I have major chronic fatigue, I’m at risk for diabetes, I still have migraines and flare ups and GI problems. My health is always going to be a problem for me. I am always going to be battling my hormones. I am going to struggle getting pregnant, if I even can. I am always going to have the risk of losing my other ovary and going into early menopause. I can only pray that these two disorders don’t take away more from me.

[hiveswap]

also had an ovarian cyst here that needed surgery! glad they caught this for you rather than leaving it. go easy after the surgery and be good to yourself. bending down after can be sore as shit for like x2-3 weeks and uncomfy for up to two months, if my experience is a barometer... take the time that you can to rest. thinking of you. 🫡

Thanks!!! :) They used laparoscopy (hopefully spelking that right) so the stitches are going to be out in a week thankfully! Also my grandma called and told me 5 times not to lift anything ever as well!

[sasukesun]

what kind of surgeries have you done so far?

damn so many already… c-section, subtotal gastrectomy, rygb, appendectomy, whipple procedure, umbilical hernia, esophagectomy + total gastrectomy, hysteroscopy, hysterectomy, ovarian teratoma, ovarian cyst, splenectomy, cholecystectomy, exploratory laparoscopy in a man that was shot, had to remove one meter of his small intestine and fix his internal iliac vein, gastro-entero anastomosis… i guess that’s it? some of them were more complicated than the usual pattern though

My Mystery Pain in 2022, by Month

I feel trite being like “it’s been a journey!” but it kinda has.

Quick sum up, I have an acute pain roughly in the area of my right ovary. I used to think it was menstrual cramps because mine were horrible, but once I went on bc it persisted even though I wasn’t having periods anymore. So in roughly August 2021 I started trying to figure out wtf it actually is.

Also, all of this has been very expensive despite the fact that I have very good insurance through my husband’s job (I’m not asking for money, just a note).

2021

Thought it might be endometriosis, but OBGYN thought it was an ovarian cyst. Got ultrasounds, including a trans-vaginal ultrasound. It was not a cyst. OBGYN referred me to a GP.

GP thought it might be a hernia. Got a CT scan. Also had an MRI at some point but I honestly forget when in this span it was. The pain was not a hernia. GP referred me to a surgeon.

Surgeon poked at me and went “that’s probably endometriosis” and referred me back to the OBGYN

January

Had an exploratory laparoscopy to check for endo. They found some! ...on the wrong side. Nothing in the area of the pain that would explain it. Referred back to GP

February

GP referred me to a gastro NP (the wait to see the MD was months and months). She ordered a colonoscopy.

March

Colonoscopy comes back squeaky clean (literally, considering what you have to go through the day before 😂).

April

NP puts me on a couple of medications to see if they work (they don’t). At my request, refers me to a specialty clinic. I’m being vague on purpose, but think Mayo Clinic (it was not the Mayo Clinic)

Drive for hours (one way) to get to specialty clinic. They poke at me and go “umm this isn’t gastro related, go to pain clinic I guess?”

They say there’s not a huge difference between their pain clinic and what I’d find locally, so I ask for a referral I can take to a local place. It didn’t make sense to make the drive every time if I didn’t have to.

May

Check back in with GP. I have to say, I really like my GP. Just because she couldn’t find the answer and kept referring me to other doctors doesn’t mean she wasn’t doing her job. We had a lot of possibilities to eliminate!

Anyway, the pain clinic GP is associated with doesn’t have any appointments until September.

So I find another one!

New pain MD thinks it’s a nerve issue. Meralgia Paresthetica, he says. That covers a lot of possible specifics, but

I ask new pain MD about perhaps a TENS unit, because a friend of mine has one and I was curious as to if it would work for me. He literally screams at me about how it’s not a viable treatment. Sets up an appointment for a nerve block.

On my way out he hands me a printout about the condition so I can learn some more. Printout recommends TENS unit for mitigation.

Day of nerve block is weird af. There are a ton of people there, all patients. It’s run like an assembly line, almost. All of the nurses and assistants are great and kind and helpful. Pain MD is still a weird jerk.

I don’t know what he did, but all the nerve block accomplished was making the pain 100x worse (temporarily). When I mention this, he screams again about how he used imaging to find the nerve so what I was feeling wasn’t possible.

Follow-up was a phone call, during which I insisted my husband be present. Once again, Pain MD screamed at me for asking a question. He tells me that I can mitigate with lidocaine patches, but they probably won’t work so I should let him surgically implant an electrode instead.

I don’t want to do that, and even if it was the only answer I no longer trust Pain MD. Go back to GP and ask for a referral to the pain clinic I have to wait for.

In the meantime, start wearing lidocaine patches. It helps a little bit.

June

Waiting. Husband has knee surgery. It goes well and he heals quickly, and if I’m honest I’m relieved I can give some care back to him for a change. He doesn’t like to let people take care of him but I like to do it.

July

Waiting. But y’know, we can’t have socialized medicine in America because the wait times would be too long! 🙃

August

Still waiting! As a note, the pain is so bad that I regularly had to call out of work (generally half days, I always tried to push through until I couldn’t). I napped constantly, had almost no energy. I can’t use my home office because sitting upright in an office chair makes it worse. Nothing really makes it better other than sleep, but I found ways to prevent it from getting to the worst point.

September

After Pain MD, I now always have Husband go with me to initial doctor appointments so I can use his tall, white, cis dude powers to my advantage.

Fortunately, new Pain MD seems like a good guy and is very attentive. Has me do a pelvic X-ray because it was the only “easy” test that hadn’t been done. He didn’t think that it would be the answer, and was up front about that, but felt like it was due diligence. X-ray found nothing

He prescribes gabapentin, orders me a TENS unit, and puts me in physical therapy. He isn’t convinced physical therapy would help, but insurance will cover it and it’s something to try.

Gabapentin gives near-immediate relief. I drop from a daily 6 or 7 to a daily 2 or 3. It’s like I’m a person again.

Also refers me to a neurologist, whose first available appointment is December 30th.

October

Physical therapist is kind and helpful. Go 2x a week. It’s all individual exercises that aren’t hard on their own, but they add up.

I am still wearing lidocaine patches daily (I start cutting the big ones in half because I don’t like the material of the little ones), taking gabapentin, and regularly using the TENS unit. All together they help a lot, but nothing makes it completely go away.

November

Finish “evaluation period” of physical therapy. Pain has gotten worse since (not as bad as pre-mitigations, but still worse). Physical therapist and I agree that this is not a problem that PT can solve.

Have follow-up with new pain MD (actually with his PA). Gapabentin gets increased, no other changes.

December

Check in with pain PA again. She orders two separate nerve block tests, scheduled for January. They had been hesitant to do this because I had one done, but apparently the original pain MD I saw has a bad reputation. They didn’t dump on him, but professionally agreed when I did. There’s a suspicion that the first one was not done correctly.

Meet with neurologist (again, Husband comes to this first meeting). Mentions that this might possibly be a pinched nerve in my back, despite the core of the pain being in the front. Orders a nerve conduction study, not yet scheduled because insurance has to approve it first. Because American healthcare is hell. And I have good insurance!!

I also got laid off at the beginning of this month. Insurance is through my husband’s job, so fortunately that does not immediately affect my care.

Now

Three tests coming up (two nerve blocks, also nerve conduction study), then we’ll see. If it does turn out to be a pinched nerve in my back it might be fixable with surgery. But there’s a very good chance this is just something I live with and mitigate for the rest of my life. I don’t know yet.

Anyway, it’s kind of hard to feel creative on top of all of this so that’s why fics and art have kind of tapered off as the year wore on. I want to get back into it, but I try not to force hobbies. They should always be fun.

I don’t have a thesis statement to conclude. I wrote this out for me, really. I know this blog is mostly shitposts and fandom stuff, but it’s still a blog. Thanks for reading if you did, I hope you didn’t feel obligated to <3

Most common surgeries done by gynecologist surgeon

Gynecology surgery comprises any surgical procedure that involves the organs and structure of the female pelvic region: the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, cervix, vulva, and vagina. There are several reasons why a woman might need to go through gynecology surgery. She might need treatment for a condition such as fibroids (benign tumors), endometriosis, cancer, ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding or uterine prolapse. Gynecology surgery can also be used as permanent birth control.

The most common surgeries done by gynecologist surgeon are as follows:

Cervical Cryosurgery

Abnormal cervical cells are at times discovered during a routine Pap smear. Abnormal cells do not always indicate cancer, but your healthcare provider will likely want to do some follow-up tests or procedures. One procedure they might recommend is cervical cryosurgery. This procedure is a highly effective gynecological treatment that freezes a section of the cervix. Cryosurgery destroys these cells to stop them from developing into cancer.

Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is a process that your healthcare provider may use to diagnose or treat uterine issues. This procedure might be used to:

Locate an intrauterine device

Remove adhesions (scar tissue)

Determine the cause of repeated miscarriage

During this procedure, a healthcare professional inserts a hysteroscope, a lighted, thin, telescope-like instrument, into your uterus through the vagina. Then, it sends pictures of your uterus to a screen for further test.

Pelvic Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure usually performed under general anesthesia. But it can be performed with other types of anesthesia while you are awake. It is used for:

Gallbladder removal

Tubal ligation (tying the fallopian tubes for permanent birth control)

Treating endometriosis and uterine fibroids

Hernia repair

The typical pelvic laparoscopy involves a small incision in the belly button or lower abdomen. A surgeon then pumps carbon dioxide into your abdomen to help them see your organs easily.

Dilation and Curettage 

It is one of the most common gynecological procedures. During this process, a healthcare provider removes a portion of your uterine lining with a suction device or a sharp curette. The procedure can diagnose uterine conditions, including: 

Uterine cancer 

Endometrial hyperplasia (an abnormally thick uterine lining)

Uterine polyps (overgrowth of tissue in the uterine lining)

In addition, D&Cs are commonly used for miscarriage, abortion procedures, molar pregnancy, and retained placenta.

Common gynecological procedures by gynecologist surgeon include colposcopy, cervical cryosurgery, D&C, LEEP, hysteroscopy, and pelvic laparoscopy. Most of these procedures can help healthcare providers get a better look at the cervix, uterus, and vagina and take samples for a biopsy. Some of them can also treat specific conditions.

Understandably, you might have concerns about any process your healthcare provider or gynecologist recommends. Learning as much as you can is a good idea. In addition, it is essential to ask your doctor any questions you might have. Finally, do not forget to tell them if you may be pregnant, even though they usually do a test to check first.

The Main Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts

Women have two ovaries on each side of the uterus and eggs developed and mature there. During monthly cycles, those eggs are released. Cysts, which are sacs commonly filled with fluid, can form inside the ovary or on it. It is a common issue and usually, when a woman has an ovarian cyst they have no symptoms or issues and it is harmless. Here is a look at what symptoms look like when they happen, their causes and how it is treated.

Ovarian cyst symptoms

When a cyst is larger it might cause some signs and the more common symptoms of ovarian cysts are bloating, feeling a pressure or heaviness in the stomach, and having pelvic pain that comes and goes, sometimes a sharp pain and sometimes more of an ache.

Ovarian cyst causes

It is most common that a cyst happens because of your period and these are called functional cysts. There are two types, follicular which begins to form when halfway through the menstrual cycle the follicle does not rupture and release the egg. Then there is the corpus luteum cyst where after the egg is released it shrinks and produces progesterone and estrogen and that opening gets blocked and fluid builds up. Functional cysts are for the most part harmless and go away by themselves within two to three periods.

Ovarian cyst treatment

If you experience pain with vomiting and a fever, signs of shock like fast breathing, being lightheaded, clammy skin or having sudden and severe pelvic or stomach pain then see a doctor right away. Treatment for an ovarian cyst is often not needed. But if a doctor thinks it is then there are really three stages to monitoring a cyst,

Watch and wait to see if, in a few months, the cyst resolves itself. This is usually the first thing the doctor suggests especially if it is a small cyst and you have few to no symptoms. This may include having regular tests to track the size and shape of the cyst.

There are several medications a doctor might suggest including birth control pills to stop you from ovulating. This can help prevent more cysts from developing. However, this approach does not deal with existing cysts.

Ovarian cyst surgery is an option only in certain cases where the cyst is large, or the symptoms are especially difficult for you to manage. It is possible to do it without having to remove the ovary, called a cystectomy. Or if the ovary is removed with a cyst that is an oophorectomy. Nowadays some of the procedures are very minimally invasive called a laparoscopy. However, if there is a concern about cancer or the cyst is especially big then a more invasive, larger, open procedure will be needed. If you have been through the menopause and have cysts developing this can again be because of cancer and needs investigating by a gynecological cancer expert.

Summary

Ovarian cysts are not uncommon and not an immediate thing to be scared about. A lot of women have them and do not even realise it. If you do have symptoms see your doctor.

Laparoscopic Gynecology in Dubai 

Overview

Overview In gynecologic laparoscopy, a gynecologist uses a small cut near the umbilicus to inflate your abdomen with CO2 and pass a surgical telescope with a camera through to examine your pelvic organs.

Due to the small incision that is made in your abdomen, this procedure is referred to as "keyhole surgery." The gynecologist is able to perform Laparoscopic surgeries without having to make large incisions because the cut is typically only about one centimeter long.

What conditions can be treated with gynecologic laparoscopy?

Multiple conditions can be diagnosed and treated with gynecological laparoscopy. including: Endometriosis Fibroids, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancies, pelvic issues (urinary incontinence, uterine prolapse, etc.), and so on. It may also be done in conjunction with other procedures, like a hysterectomy, to get better results after the surgery.

How should you get ready for a gynecologic laparoscopy? Your doctor will check your health before the surgery and go over the procedure in detail.

The steps you need to take before the surgery are as follows:

Stop eating and drinking six to twelve hours before the surgery. Avoid taking blood thinners (such as aspirin, warfarin, etc.) a few days before your appointment. Stop smoking a few days before the operation. It's best to arrange for someone to drive you to the hospital and pick you up later that day.

What can we anticipate from the surgery? A general anesthetic is typically used for gynecological laparoscopy, so you won't feel anything.

In order to insert the surgical instruments into your body and carry out the procedure, the gynecologist will make a 1 to 1.5 cm incision in your abdomen.

In order to properly treat your organs and allow him to see them clearly, he will first insert a fine tube into your belly to inflate it with carbon dioxide. After that, he inserts a laparoscope that has a camera that is connected to a television screen in front of him, making it easier for him to watch and do the surgery.

In the event that the surgeon needs to remove some organs, he may make additional incisions to guide the instruments through the laparoscope and into the surgical site.

The gynecologist will then close the small cuts with medical stitches or clips and ensure that the CO2 is released from your abdomen.

The gynecologic Laparoscopic surgeries Dubai will take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes to perform a diagnosis. It might take longer depending on the situation if it was done to treat a specific condition.

[pcos-and-endo-awareness]

What's pcos

PCOS stands for PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome. This is a hormonal disorder that wrecks havoc on the body causing symptoms such as menstrual irregularity, infertility, enlarged ovaries (inflammation/pain), weight gain, insulin resistance, excess hair, acne, and of course as the name says, cysts on the ovaries.

There is no known cause, just that androgens are elevated for some reason. It is likely a genetic disorder. PCOS is common in people with ovaries, and it is often a chronic condition. There is no cure. The medical treatment is hormone therapy aka birth control, which can sometimes worsen symptoms instead of helping them. If there are cysts, they can be removed via laparoscopy.

In my own journey, I discovered I had PCOS when I was in college. I have always had irregular, painful, extremely bloody periods since I was 12. I thought it was normal. In my younger twenties, I was having extreme pain so horrible I went to the OBGYN and that is when I found out via ultrasound that I had a cyst on my ovary. I was confirmed to have PCOS. This cyst burst and it was terrible pain and swelling for days. I got on birth control and it was heaven; most of my symptoms disappeared. Eventually I stopped taking it when I left college and switched insurances and doctors, planning to get back on it eventually. The cysts formed before I did. There were two this time, and while we were monitoring them waiting for them to shrink, one of them torsed (twisted) and cut off the blood supply to my ovary. This was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. I had emergency surgery and lost my ovary. (Side note, that surgery is when my OB discovered I also had endometriosis.) I am going to remain on hormone therapy to protect my lone ovary so that I might one day be able to get pregnant. Birth control has saved my life.
