11.5 mc endometrioma at 22 years old after taking plan B
I had to go to the hospital yesterday for intense lower abdominal pain on my left side, the ultrasound showed that I have an 11.5 cm cyst that is suspected to be an endometrioma. I have no previous history with irregular or overly painful periods so I’m so confused on how I have endometriosis.
All of this started about two months ago after I took a plan b pill. I went to my primary doctor about three weeks after taking the pill because I thought I had a bladder infection. They treated me for one and the antibiotics helped, after finishing the round they told me the culture was negative for a bladder infection and said I don’t need to come in for imaging unless the symptoms come back.
(I still haven’t gotten my period since taking the Plan B and I am normally extremely regular)
Yesterday the symptoms came back and it was unbearable. I’m wondering if there’s anyway it could be a hemorrhagic cyst that was mistaken for an endometrioma? Or if the Plan B could’ve caused rapid growth of a pre-existing endometrioma? I didn’t get many answers at the hospital. They told me they didn’t recommend surgery because it’s likely to come back, and pretty much only offered me bupropion and referred me to a specialist that I won’t see for another month. I’m in so much pain and discomfort I’m so confused and don’t know what to do.
