I have been having issues with my primary doctor. most recently it was with this pelvic pain that I have been having (at work it would get so bad i would be crying practically on the lab floor). I went to my primary doctor and she didn't do anything (no exam...nothing she didn't even touch my stomach) but she did say this is probably endometriosis and I would need an ultrasound.. but she couldn't schedule it till I had been on birth control for 2 months.
This was kinda the final straw.... a friend convinced me that this is BS and that i needed to make an appointment with a GYN. I finally saw her this last week and she got me an ultrasound (seriously I got in the next day!! and it wasn't a STAT or ASAP order). When I got the ultrasound the doctor watching was a little to excited with my ovaries, apparently I have dermoid cysts on my left ovary. The doctor was going on about how HUGE they were and how they couldn't even see my ovary (they are about 8cm). She kept going on about how cool these cysts are and how they grow hair and teeth (OK grosss) and how I should google it because these are really cool (OK did that.... not the best idea, and they are REALLY grosss). She was also telling me just to let you know your doctor will be removing these because they are so large (and apparently they cause the ovary to twist and then you have to remove the ovary)
I was supposed to see the doctor to discuss my ultra sound after Thanksgiving... This appointment has now been bumped up to this next week --
