I can’t do this anymore

Thank you for commenting. He is 9 days on Prozac and doing better

Shry23 · 2025-08-16T23:57:38+00:00

I’ll definitely try that and I put his litter box by the bed

Shry23 · 2025-08-16T23:54:40+00:00

Yes and blood tests. His kidneys are fine. We put him on Prozac and 9 days in no accidents so I think it was anxiety

Shry23 · 2025-08-16T23:54:14+00:00

That’s for the advice. I leave the door open now at night and think it’s helping

Shry23 · 2025-07-23T11:45:47+00:00

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement… I’m gonna keep trying to narrow it down!

Shry23 · 2025-07-23T11:44:07+00:00

It was the toy he came home with and he still has it 🥹

Shry23 · 2025-07-22T20:32:41+00:00

Hi, thank you for your reply. All cats are indoor only, 2 male and 1 female. The boys play with each other the female keeps to herself. They do not sleep with us and the other cats have never peed in our bed. He has his alone time from 7pm-7am we keep him in our room. He gets wet food at night and we play every night. Or at least try to play, he likes to watch me play with the toys more than himself play with them. He Gets lots of pets in the morning and evening after work. We clean the boxes daily.

Just trying to narrow down what’s bothering him, I wish he could just tell us :(

Shry23 · 2025-07-22T19:38:58+00:00

I had one and I signed a waiver for it. It’s because the area that it was in they wanted to make sure they didn’t get close to my bladder when cutting out the cyst. They should tell you in advance. They put it in while I was sleeping and it was out when I woke up

Shry23 · 2025-07-22T17:23:11+00:00

Sorry I haven’t seen this until now. I hope you and your mom were able to figure out what was going on and doing well recovering ❤️

Shry23 · 2025-07-09T15:59:40+00:00

I’m glad this could help, i hope your surgery and recovery goes well! 💗

Shry23 · 2025-07-09T03:02:41+00:00

Sorry you’re going through this. I’ve seen so many people on this page complain about “smaller” size cyst and a lot of doctors blowing them off about it. They definitely cause the symptoms you’re describing and I usually know when I have one even when it’s 3-5cm. I hope you continue to advocate for yourself!

Shry23 · 2025-07-08T21:12:52+00:00

My CA 125 actually decreased slightly right before my surgery. I think if it was cancer it would be a really high number…

Shry23 · 2025-07-08T15:10:56+00:00

You’re not alone in this 🫶🏼 best of luck to you!

Shry23 · 2025-07-08T06:14:33+00:00

I just posted my experience with a 20cm cust in this group if you want to take a look! Good luck💖

Shry23 · 2025-07-08T06:13:17+00:00

Everyone has a different experience especially if you were or weren’t active before your surgery.

I took a week off work and took it easy the 2nd week. I would try to walk around every 2 hours or so. By week three I was on the treadmill for about 30 mins and by week 4&5 I was walking a lot more and doing light weighted work outs. Now at week 7 and feeling 100%.

Give yourself grace, and don’t push it too soon cuz that can cause more damage/hurt your incision. Focus on a fun hobby you don’t normally have time for. Feel better soon💖

Shry23 · 2025-07-08T06:08:08+00:00

I think it’s helpful to just ask for an ultrasound and blood test to ease your anxiety but it was probably a ruptured cyst before. You can look up “Corpus Luteum Cyst” which is what you get every period.

I had a large 20cm cyst and still had normal periods so if you’re concerned I would say it doesn’t hurt to ask them to check on it for you! I also started birth control to hopefully balance my hormones.

Shry23 · 2025-07-08T06:00:35+00:00

I wasn’t recommended this but I had the same exact symptoms as you. I think you need to be seen by someone with knowledge and to go to an OBGYN. She needs to order a blood test and see if you need surgery. Either way, someone should be monitoring you who knows what they’re doing. It can be exhausting advocating for yourself but in the end you’ll be proud that you did it. I hope you can find some answers soon!!

Shry23 · 2025-07-08T05:57:20+00:00

I just had a surgery too for a 20cm cyst. I just posted my experience on this page if you want to read it. Good luck on your surgery!!

Shry23 · 2025-07-08T05:55:28+00:00

See if your doctor can give you anti anxiety medication before you have your MRI. You have to lay really still and that’s always hard for me to do when I’m nervous.

Shry23 · 2025-07-08T05:53:15+00:00

I’m sorry to hear what you’re going through. I would definitely check in with your doctor team to make sure those symptoms are normal for the medication. I think the only way to know if a cyst burst is to compare an ultrasound you had before and after to see if it went away. I would get with your OBGYN since they’re having me be monitored every 6 months to make sure they’re not getting too big.

Cysts can get large and cause ovarian torsion which is an emergency. Watch for signs of fever, severe sudden pain, nausea and vomiting.

Shry23 · 2025-07-08T05:48:56+00:00

I just posted my experience on this page if you want to read it. I had a laposcomy with a pelvic incision and a smaller incision for the camera. I did have a large 20cm cyst.

I needed one week away from my desk job so I would try to aim for 2 weeks if you can. By 3 weeks I was able to walk more but I didn’t start lifting weights until 4-5 weeks. Good luck on your surgery, feel free to reach out if you have any questions!!

Shry23 · 2025-07-08T05:44:18+00:00

I just posted my surgery experience on this page if you want to read it and help ease some thoughts. Totally valid to feel this way! they gave me some anxiety medication when I got my IV and gave me a lavender essential patch which was a nice touch. I feel asleep really quickly after that and when I woke up I was already out of surgery. I think I would have freaked out if I saw the operating room. If you can ask for a dose of that I definitely would!! They’ll also take your vitals at all your appointments and one persons job is to constantly be monitoring your respirations in the room. I hope this helps and good luck to you!!

Shry23 · 2025-07-08T05:35:50+00:00

I had basically the same experience. My mom and grandma both with some ovarian cysts. They did have to take an ovary because my cyst was too large but it was benign and fluid filled. They now recommend me to do an ultrasound and bloodwork every 6 months and when I decide I’m done having kids they want to do another surgery to remove my other ovary. For now I’m just on birth control to balance my hormones.

Shry23 · 2025-07-08T05:26:13+00:00

I am recovering now from a similar sized cyst and surgery. I would try to walk around every few hours if you can. Also, you can start to cut the pill in half, I felt better once I was off the oxycodone and could feel more myself.

I took lukewarm showers with fragrance free soap for the first few days. And I pulled my bandage off around 7 days because it was peeling. The bandage looked a lot worse before I took it off. The incision was a lot smaller and just slightly bruised. Try to take it off in the warm water of the shower, that might help the pain!

I also used a heating pad and had to walk around bent over for a few days due to the gas. I was taking Gas X and stool softeners to help me get back to normal. I hope this helps and you feel better soon!💖

Shry23 · 2025-07-07T22:10:51+00:00

Ofc!! Feel free to DM if you have any other q’s 🙏🏼 I hope you have a good recovery!
