Hi there. I m 38 years old. Very active and fit. Tubal ligation and abblasion (spelling?!) done at age 33. Two full term pregnancies, youngest child is 14. Two years ago I had a cyst on left ovary found with vaginal ultrasound which burst without complications. Last week I saw my OB and he found another on same left ovary. He said not to worry but to call if complications. Two nights ago I started having horrific pain on right side for about ten hours which woke me atb1am. Worst pain I ve had in a while. Went to ER as it was in the right location for appendicitis and I was queasy. A CT scan with contrast showed appendix fine. The Dr. Said I had an enormous amount of fecal matter and that i was constipated. This was not constipation. I had been having bowel movements. Now I m spotting and it does in fact feel a bit like menses. Do CT scans pick up ovarian cysts or is that something that could have been missed? Thanks forbyourbhelp.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. From the symptoms it is most likely a gynecological condition giving rise to acute pain. It will be better to get a check-up with gynecologist and get an u s g done for proper diagnosis and treatment. Hope you be all right soon.
