Ive been on the ‘watch and wait’ period with my doctor for a cyst that has grown from 1cm to 5cm (since last october) and i havent been back to the doc since to check on the status/possible further-growth of the cyst since. i have an appt. this thursday bc i am still in pain on my L side. i have been on birth control to help dissolve the cyst since january; however, i do not think it has dissolved (hence why I am still in pain) and i have been bleeding roughly 40 days out of the 76 days we have had in 2008 thus far….which makes me wonder if the cyst has anything to do with this…i have been in a lot of acute pain with my L side and my lower back and if the cyst is still there and my doctor wants to ‘watch and wait’ some more…would you tell him ‘no, Ill have surg. now,thanks’ or do what he says? Im no longer a fan of the waiting game but am terrified of the thought of surgery.
Also, I smoke weed so should I tell him b4 hand in case he does recommend surg. bc of anesthetic?
also, does laproscopy surg. painful? Im so scared but am ready to feel better again (in the long run, that is)
Im 21 yr old if that constitutes for anything

THX :)
