Hydrsalphinx, Large Cystic Ovary, Stomach Pain, Severe Endometriosis. Done Ultrasound, CT Scan. What Do I Fear?
So sorry..this is a long story. I am 43 years old and had my second child in 2011 by IVF. My doctor was wonderful and immediately saw what looked like hydrsalphinx (sp?) and a large cyst on my right ovary covering my fallopian tube completely. I had my surgery and he he discovered that my uterus was also attached to my stomache so he fixed that.( The Hydro. turned out to be just a large cyst) (I also have had two c-sections) Then we proceeded with the IVF and was successful first time around. I also have sever Endometriosis and asked if he felt I should have a Hysterectomy once my child was done nursing. He basically said sure if you feel it necessary..but he indicated yes of sorts
Meanwhile I moved back to Phoenix for family reasons and my pain is terrible so I went to my old OB/GYN before moving previously and they gave me a different doctor in the practice for whatever reason.
I scheduled an appointment and had previous docs forward stuff blah blah blah......So she wanted a current Ultrasound....it came back as a mass on the right ovary...no surprise. ...then she wanted a CT scan??? I complied. The results came back contra-indicating ........nothing was found on the CT. I called my OLD doc in Tucson and had ALL records sent. BUT NOW......she wants a biopsy of that ovary??? before doing my Hysterectomy ?? What the heck for? Number one....the CT scan indicated nothing and a CA -125 was never run (I'm an old Lab Tech.).............She also never told me the procedure for the biopsy..as if a fine needle will say much
Anyway..this has been going on for 4 months and I FINALLY have a surgery date.
I really hate to get a "second opinion" because then I'm set back a bunch more months before having surgery.
I am just sick of the pain and serious blood flow.
What is your take on all this testing and the whole Ultrasound/ct scan differences????? I almost considered going back to my infertility doc who did the original surgery before my IVF..........ugh
I'm a wreck.
Sorry such a long gripe...........

I can understand what you might be suffering of but its duty of a doctor to check things correctly from each possible way to put you in the least trouble...
And yes sometimes the things it self look like a big trouble.. however its not..
A simple remedy I will suggest you.. Just try .. although you are going to your old doc..
Prior in the morning just pick up the final sprouting end of your lawn grass and wash it nicely... extract a juice out of it and pour 5 to 6 drops in each nostril daily morning..
This is the remedy to reduce your blood flow which may save you from few more test of hemoglobins and other required blah blah blah.. whatever you say to that..:)
Secondly if you get convinced by this just kindly let me know.. so that you could be set on some personalised medicines by further evaluation of whatever papers you got printed till yet through various consultations and reports.. Okay..?
where you have spent somuch time till yet I think 21 more days would not mind you much to get saved from your disease without getting operated for it..!
Still in doubt feel free to communicate...
