Thanks ausgirl. The cyst they found is on the left, but this time the pain is on her right. She has been in hospital for 2 days now while they are investigating. They ruled out endo last year and I was really surprised actually. I told her to keep pushing for answers.
Not sure if they are removing or draining or what at this stage
I have suffered with ovarian cysts for years. I do not have endo at all and am able to fall pg quite easily which is good.
I have had 3 hospitalisations for cysts all on my right ovary. It is actually 3x the size of my left due to scarring.
In all 3 of those experiences they have burst leaving excess fluid to float around causing extreme pain. As you said, vomiting, shaking, fevers and pain that not even morphene or any other pain relief could stop.
They were drained via keyhole surgery except for one as I was pregnant ( looked about 8 months pregnant due to swelling) and they thought it would be too risky.
So I just had to wait for the fluid to be absorbed.
Mine were from ovulating the doctors said but I still don't 100% understand it all.
I really cant quite understand why they wouldn't have noticed it on any scans! I feel really upset for your friend going through this!
They wouldn't have to remove the ovary but if she is in lots of pain I would imagine that the cyst has ruptured.
Deedles, sounds awful She has been on morphine for a few days now in the hospital. Should find out whats going on today hopefully, but it does sound very similar to what you have explained.
