Yup cranberry juice for me.
So - if this is a cyst on the ovary it's sure not happy to have been poked about! It was a whole week ago & I'm still having discomfort now! There was no discomfort before.
I don't know if cysts can become cancerous??
I know myself. I'm going to be AWARE that I have a cyst. I'm going to be worrying about it growing/becoming cancerous/bursting.
Since I know this tendency of worrying, I'm thinking that since I'm 61 & don't need ovaries any more - I'd like to have the cyst AND ovary removed by laporoscopy if that's possible!!!
Seems really extreme, I know, but that's what I'm thinking right now.
My husband said he thinks it sounds sensible.
My daughter (who knows how I worry etc) mentioned that that's what she'd suggest (even before I told her my idea).
Any comments anyone? Do ovaries perform any function for post-menopausal women?
