Ovarian Cyst - Tumblr Posts

Hey, you know teratomas? Those weird tumors that are filled with hair and sometimes skin and teeth?

I might have one on my right ovary. 🙃

It seems to be benign, but if it's the source of my stupid cramps, I'm so getting it removed.

I'll keep you all posted as I learn more about my situation.

Health Update

I've actually been meaning to post this for a while, but hey, better late than never.

Upon further ultrasound analysis, it seems that I don't actually have a teratoma!

But.

The OBGYN thinks I have hemorrhagic cysts instead. So blood, clots, etc. build up into ovarian cysts over the course of my cycle and then just bleed out again when it's time to go. Not the worst thing in the world, but in my case, they're still getting big enough to be a risk factor for ovarian torsion. Fun.

Anyway, that's all for now. I'll see you on the next episode of "I hate my body and my body hates me."
