appendicitis

Avatar n tn My sons girlfriend has been admitted to hospital in the early hours of this morning with abdominal pains and sickness, They are testing for both appendicitis and ovarian cysts She is only 18 and I thought it was over 40 that cysts occured. I am looking to reassure a very frightened girl.
Avatar n tn I had to go to the hospital, They said it could be kidney stones, appendicitis,or ovarian cyst. I have a history of abnormal paps and endometriosis, I am scared it is cancer. I dont have insurance if anyone can share some info I would realy appretiate it.
Avatar m tn How can you identify ovarian cyst pain?What is the usual size of the cyst need to undergo surgery? Describe the difference between appendicitis?
Avatar m tn What you have described could be caused by many things, including ovarian cysts, endometriosis, appendicitis, or a gallbladder issue. It really needs to be checked out. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Hi. I woke up with pain in my right side that got worse, I had a low grade fever it hurt to cough, to lie down at one point I couldn't get off my bed because every time I moved to get up it hurt too much i tried the lay on your left side move your knee and it hurt so bad, it only hurt when I pressed on my tummy was better when I let go.
Avatar m tn They performed CT scan to rule out appendicitis and discovered 4cm ovarian cyst. They did not believe this was the source of the pain though because the pain eased up but the cyst was still there. The dr did, however, think it was odd for the cyst to be present when she is due to start her period. She said cysts usually appear and/or rupture 2 weeks prior to period. Could this be the cause of abdominal pain? Is it strange that a 12 yr old would have a cyst when her period is due?
136986 tn?1232399830 I'm 16 and have been getting ovarian cysts since I was 13. I was rushed to the E.R when they thought I had appendicitis, but it was a cyst. I get numerous cysts each month, most of them burst which cause a great deal of pain. Lately my bowels have been weird. There's a lot of rumbling in my stomach, and I can feel everything moving around. I go a lot, but its normal. I've been on the gassy side too. Yesterday my stomach was killing in my pelvic area, to the right of my left hip.
Avatar m tn I have this recurring pain on my left side from the narrowest part of my waist to my low abdomen. In December it was really bad and I went to the ER. They did an ultrasound and said the pain was caused by ovarian cysts. That part wasn't surprising because I've had them before, but it surprised me that the pain could radiate so far up my side. Has anyone else had this?
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with endometriosis when I was a teenager and thought I had appendicitis due to the overwhelming pain. I successfully had to children without complications. At 36 I began what I thought was a normal mensrual cycle that lasted 2-3 weeks with excessive blood loss and large clotting. After a vistit to the ER and a follow up visit I was admitted to the hospital for a blood transfusion due to the fact I had lost so much blood I was told I would have bled out in a few days.
Avatar f tn hey guys, I'm 4 weeks pregnant and been admitted to hospital with what the think is an ovarian cyst? Going for a scan first thing but I'm worried as I'm in agony has anyone else experienced this? Help!
Avatar f tn I went to hospital with severe lower abdominal pain. After several tests, they noticed a cyst or tumour (radiologist's words exactly) on right ovary, and swollen appendix and elevated white cell count. Surgeon opted to not to an appendectomy as he felt that I have a cyst which leaked fluid causing irritation to appendix. I was not prescribed any antibiotics or painkillers. The pain has since eased off - now sporadic.
Avatar f tn I am 21 years old and have always had painful periods. I've been taking Loestrin FE for several months and my periods became much shorter (about a day) and less painful. However, I've had severe, sharp abdominal pains in my stomach for weeks and had a pelvic exam. I was told I most likely have a ruptured cyst, but the doctor made it sound very common and nothing to worry about.
Avatar n tn I went to my primary who thought it was appendicitis on examination even though I mentioned a history of ovarian cysts in my mother, and my aunt died of cancer. The doctor sent me to the emergency room. I underwent a CT scan (which was "normal") and an ultrasound. (I never got the reports.) The ultrasound tech said that it was difficult to "see anything." She said that there was so much contrast from the CT that she could not see my ovaries.
Avatar f tn I understand why she would be so worried, but plenty of women get cysts and go on to have healthy children. Even women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome can conceive. Cysts are mostly benign, especially in young women. They rarely turn out to be cancerous and they can either be monitored for a few weeks to see if they can go away on their own or with the help of birth control pills (or other meds) or they can be surgically removed, depending on the size of the cystic mass.
Avatar n tn When I had appendecitis I woke up in pain with a lot of abdominal pressure and was admitted for surgery that day. It felt like I was really constipated or something (sorry TMI), and was nauseous. It sounds like the pain you are having is more likely related to the pcos. I have had ovarian cysts in the past and it felt a lot like what you are describing. I'm not an expert, just my personal experience.
Avatar f tn In your case,I feel two possibilities which need to be ruled out urgently is ectopic pregnanacy and ovarian cysts(polycystic ovarian disease).An ultrasound or CT abdomen will be a good diagnostic tool in diagnosing them. Other possibilities may be diverticulitis,inflammatory bowel disease and cholecustitis. For diagnosis,a clinical examination and investigations are required.Pls don’t hesitate as nothing is more valuable than your health.
Avatar f tn About 3 weeks ago now I started to get sharp pains in my left side so bad I went to the ER, I had high blood pressure and small amounts of blood in my urine, they ruled out kidney stones and appendicitis and told me I had a possible UTI and sent me home with trimethropin.
Avatar n tn It can also be due to fibroid uterus or torsion of ovarian cysts(already ruled out in your case). Ultrasound abdomen and cervical swabs are needed to rule them out. Secondly, possibility of irritable bowel syndrome is also there. Diagnosis is made on basis of clinical evaluation. Thirdly, appendicitis has to be ruled out.Pain of appendicitis is severe and is associated with vomitings and fever. Fourthly, Crohn’s disease can be the cause of this pain.
Avatar m tn Hello, My case can look rather particular in fact it is the second time in ten years that I have to undergo surgery due to ovarian cysts ruptures on my right ovary and every time the doctors in ER first think of an acute appendicitis which make them run a quantity of useless tests while I am in pain and makes me even more doubtful and worried.
Avatar n tn A week later, I was having major pain in RLQ and so I went to the ER. They did an x-ray to rule out appendicitis. They found a bone island in my pelvis the size of a quarter. I went back to my doctor and he ordered a CT scan. It showed cysts on my ovaries about 2 cm in size. I know that is not large, but these suckers are killing me. Could this be the cause of my pain? My stomach is so bloated and it really hurts to button my pants.
Avatar n tn the doc i was seeing was so useless that i ended up flying to VA for a second opinion. I saw my moms doc and he ordered a CT with contrast. of course this didnt show any poop or cysts. still though, i am sure this is an ovarian cyst. my per is several weeks late and i am not preggers (just feel and look like it). does anyone else have that strange pain on the lower right side? Its worse when i cough and it kills when i push down on it. Thanks!!!
Avatar f tn They checked my white blood cell count and said it was abnormally high. They told me I was having me an acute appendicitis so I was rushed into the hospital for emergency surgery. When I woke up the doctor told me my abdomen was flooded with blood from a ruptured ovarian cyst. When I went to my post opp appointment they barely spoke of the cyst. They only talked about my appendicitis. I don't know if I should be concerned about the ruptured cyst..
Avatar f tn She started me on a serious dose of anti-biotics until she could review all the scans. Today she said I have bilateral complex cysts, blood in my tummy and some free flowing complex fluid. I've been on bed rest since Sunday and will stay in bed until I go back to her next Wednesday to 're-evaluate' ... I'm really aggravated that I didn't ask more questions.
