Ovarian Cyst.

Ok, so I’m going into hospital on Monday to have my ovarian cyst removed. Absolutely crapping myself 😩 it feels weird cos really it doesn’t bother me (don’t even know it’s there) but they said if it’s over 7cm they will remove it as there is more chance of it bursting, which sounds awful. Has anyone had this done or info to give me. Good or bad 🙏 thanks xx

You will be okay 💕 it's a simple procedure. Done quickly. If it gets any bigger or even burst, you will be in a lot of pain trust me

@Indi thank you. I hope so I just get anxious about the risks but that’s normal right x

I’ll copy the list I’ve sent to people for endometriosis surgery since it’s similar in terms of what you’ll need! I hope it helps. Fingers crossed for you! -Lipbalm (lips get so dry when intubated!) -Peppermint tea for gas pains (important one!!) -Loose high waist pjs or a nightie -Book or films downloaded in case you’re waiting a while to go in -Pillow to put between your stomach & seatbelt on the drive home (also important one!) -I packed plain biscuits bc they wanted me to eat after surgery & I knew I wouldn’t stomach anything -Big high waist granny pants -Small bag of toiletries -Long phone charger to reach the hospital bed For when you get home I bought a big pack of bottled water to leave some by the bed and some by the sofa so I wouldn’t have to get up often. Also make sure you have adequate pain relief to take home when they discharge you & keep taking it at the start even if you think you feel okay because it’ll hit you like a tonne of

Totally normal

@Lara oh bless you! This is super helpful Laura thank you very much my love! X
