I have been dealing with ovarian cysts since i have been around 16 yrs old. I am now 27. I ended up getting rushed to the ER by ambulance friday night. It all started out where i seriously couldn't breathe. I ended up going outside thinking that the cool ND air would help. It didn't. I was burning up. Liturally dripping sweat, and remind you it was 36 degrees outside. By the time the ambulace came i was having labor like contractions every 5 minutes while i still couldn't breathe. I live half hour away from the closest hospital. By the time i got to the hospital the labor like pains were every 2 minutes, i could breathe better due to the O2 they put me on in the ambulace, but had hypothermia. I ended up passing out in the xray room and woke up on the floor. I wasn't pregnant, well from what i knew, the ran no pt test, i had a ct scan and they said it was a ruptured cyst. I ended up so swollen that even today i can't wear my wedding band. And i have what they said was a heat rash.

This heat rash is now all over my body. Now i have had ruptured cysts a few times and never experianced anything like this. Just wondering if anyone else has? I have also been very weak and light headed since. My period isn't due for another week and a half but started bleeding today and have never bleed before after a ruptured cyst. I am going to go and get a second opinion tomorrow, but i can't seem to find if this is in the norm or not for a ruptured cyst anywhere online. Thanks all and i'm sorry that this is soo long.

Scarey here really. Its been horrid. I can't get any answers from the hospital that i went to. But of course not, i mean who wants to amitt that they dropped a patient who couldn't stand on her own and let her pass out in the XRay room. I've been online trying to figure out all of my lab results, too bad they can't write these things in english....lol
I guess, after mounds of papers, they did do a pt test. Negative. But now according to my ct scan, everything from my abdomen and pelvic scan, points to pregnancy. I even told my husband this is no ruptured cyst. I have had those. And to me, if i could ever know what it feels like to pop an ovary, that would be it. But the other night, it was exactally like labor. It didn't hurt on the right side, and hasn't since. It's been from the of the uterus and working its way around both sides to the back. Thank God I'm going to a good doc tomorrow. Sec. opinion. I'll keep ya'll posted, and thanks so far for all the help.

Well all, so far no good getting in to a doc. They had no openings yestday and all that could see me was a nurse today. To me that kinda defeated the purpose. Anywho's, still been really weak, tired and can't keep anything down. Let ya know when i get in. I am now doing some research on docs in a city a ways away from here. Guess they fixed up a girl around here with the same problems that the docs here messed up. Trying to find out who her doc was.

I've had friends who have had ruptured cysts, and they have bleed. I'm sure everyone is different. I'm not a doctor, but I am really interested in medicine and watch a lot of medical shows. I'm not trying to scare you, but if there was any chance of pregnancy you could have had a miscarriage, or possible ectopic pregnancy. Definitely go for a second opinion, and suggest they run a pregnancy test. If it was a miscarriage, you should still have enough of the pregnancy hormone in your system for a test. Good luck and I hope you feel better!

What I am worried about, your discription is that instead of an ovarian cyst, which you have experienced and say this is nothing like (I have had it too, and nothing like this) But perhaps a tubal pregnancy has ruptured. You say you are still lightheaded and I'm worried you may be having bleeding from it. If you are not still in the hospital, you need to be checked again - since the tube and ovary are so close together and you are still having symptoms, it would be reasonable to do an ultrasound or another CT scan, IMO. Either call your doctor or go to an ER.

I had one ruptured ovarian cyst about 3 years ago, but I also had a kidney stone at the same time. What a mess! Three morphine shots in the ER. My gynecologist did nothing. This heat wraps help a lot. Anyway, in August of this year I went to the ER and after 6 hours of total neglect they did a CT Scan and discovered a 6 inch plus unruptured ovarian cyst. Since I'm 56 now and post-menopausal, they took out my everything inside there in September. I lost 10 pounds from the surgery. Fortunately there was no cancer, since I'm at a greater risk for it being older. Now I'm still trying to get rid of an infection on my incision, which stretches from my navel to my pubic area. Here is my advice to you (for what it's worth).
Get a large supply of Thermocare heat wraps.
Stop drinking caffeinated drinks. I understand they can increase cysts according to your hormonal cycles.
Finally, go get a really thorough medical evaluation from a teaching hospital somewhere near you. The ER doctors and ordinary gynecologists are not good enough to take care of your problems. (I hope you have good medical insurance.)
Never ever be hesitant to ask all these medical people questions or to ask for hlep when you need it. It is your right to be treated with respect and not to be ignored and neglected by assembly line practitioners. Nurses can often be your strongest allies.
More: Please do keep us posted! Promise! I hope it goes well. Take your films with you.
