Hi everyone I'm new here,

I was suffering for 6 months with what at first appeared to be UTI/ kidney infection symptoms so was prescribed antibiotics 3 times which did nothing. I was referred to have an ultrasound which I had yesterday and suprisingly, all seemed normal for the bladder and kidneys until I had the transvaginal one and the sonographer said that she found a solid mass/ cyst which looked like a dermoid or endometrioma cyst and that my left ovary was enlarged but it's not anything nasty or cancerous. However, the GP phoned my mum today and said that it is actually a hemorrhagic cyst but the symptoms I have been having (leg pains, lower back pain, I had bad fever at one point, nausea, fatigue, severe constant headache, dizzy spells where everything goes blurry, frequent and sudden urge to urinate, feeling full quickly/loss of apetite, pelvis pain, incontinence when exercing, pain in vagina and urethra, lower stomach pain, burning and stabbing ovary pain and browny yellow discharge, constipation and bloating) don't really match it or explain it so I need to see the consultant gynaecologist. I feel a mixture of anger, sadness and anxiety as I have no idea what is wrong with me and don't know how long I can go on for with this pain. I was hoping that the cyst would explain why I was having all of these symptoms but I guess not and the GP said that it is nothing to worry about it will go away on it's own, it's harmless and common and I will have another ultrasound in 3 months time to check that it's gone but they can't remove it because it will just come back. I feel like I can't trust their opinion because when I was prescribed antibiotics the 3rd time she took a cervical smear and had a look and said that the cells looked healthy and now look what they've found! I keep reading and hearing about stories where other women had similar experiences (being told that they have cysts which aren't a cause for concern and then finding out that they have ovarian cancer) and so I'm worried that I have. Has anyone had any similar experiences or can give any suggestions on what they think will happen next like will they take a biopsy? My teachers and friends have said that they've noticed that I don't seem myself and that they are worried because this whole thing just makes me feel sad and I'm sick of the pain and fatigue. I used to go to the gym, run and walk the dogs all the time and now I can only muster short dog walks and everyone would say how hardworking I am, always studying and now even just focusing in class seems a chore. I just want the old me back and to feel validated :(
