Well i have a large (10cm by 10cm) cyst on my left ovary. It has been there since i was pregnant with Jasper
It may have been there before i was pregnant with Jasper
I have been told by the doctors that they would like to operate to remove the cyst.
I have thought very long and hard about this, and that is NOT something i am prepared to do unless it is at a time that i have stopped having children.
There are a number of reasons for this
1, if it has been there since puberty, it has never caused me any trouble
2. if it has been there since Jasper was in utereo, it has never caused me any trouble
it clearly has not stopped me conceiving or carrying a baby full term.
They have made it quite clear that the cyst has nothing to do with my early stillbrith.
It has not caused me to have irregular cycles, bad periods or any sort of pain what so ever.
Until i had the scan with Jasper, i had absolutely no idea it was even there.
I have decided to find natural ways to shrink the cyst, i have been researching herbs that will help this
I want to know if anyone else has denied invasive treatement of a benign, symptom free yet large ovarian cyst
My appointment with my consultant is on the 15th of December and i would like tp gather as much information as possible before going in there and telling them that not only will i be refusing their 'consultant led care' with my next child, i will also be refusing invasive surgery on my stomach to remove a cyst which poses no threat to me or has ever caused me any problems
