Princess of Wales

I just want to point out that there are lots of different types of ovarian cysts and they come in different sizes.

Some people can have theirs monitored, some removed by laproscopy, but some will need a laparotomy which is a much bigger incision due to the size of the cyst.

Some people will lose an ovary, and some may have to have both ovaries, tubes and womb removed due to the cyst having worring features, which means there's a high risk of reoccurrence or cancer.

So just because your Aunty Mabel had hers removed in 1 hour and was home in time for Corrie and a nice fish supper, doesn't mean everyone who has an ovarian cyst will have the same treatment.

Like I said upthread with mine I was in hospital for 5 nights and was signed off work for 12 weeks. I lost an ovary, and the only reason they didn't remove my other one and my womb is because I wanted children. I had to be closely monitored for several years afterwards. Mine was a borderline ovarian cyst, which means there it was not cancer but not completely benign either.

She left hospital within hours of having Louis and Charlotte, and the next day after George. It's not like she's going home to a crowded council flat. She can have round the clock care at home if she wishes, so would only need to stay in hospital for specific procedures.

I think it was a mistake for KP to release any sort of timeline for Kate's hospital stay. The public doesn't really need to know, and it's just leading to the sort of speculation we've seen here and elsewhere.

It's very relevant for Royal Top Trumps!

Catherine beats Camilla.

How long was Sophie in for? Eugenie?

Who will win? 😱

Don't really need to know HRH's prostate either

He isn't HRH any longer,

He's the King so he's HM.

I don't know or care what's wrong with her, but of course she's going to spend a while in hospital, she's the mother of the future heirs and a future queen. The doctors aren't going to take the route of hoofing her out with a dressing change and an appointment with the district nurse.
If she was a mere mortal like the rest of us, she wouldn't have even had an operation, mainly because she'd still be on the phone at 8 every morning desperately trying to get a GP appointment just to get a referral to a specialist.

I find it difficult not to speculate about that. Having suffered myself in the distant past, when I was very young, I hope this is not the case because as the illness progresses it is an absolute nightmare. On the surface no one would guess how ill you are because you put a smile on your face and are generally very agreeable. In my case even people I lived with had no idea until it got really out of hand and I told them. It is a serious mental illness that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

Clutch those pearls 😂 It was a JOOOOKE

When I saw this trending again today I thought she must have died!

She may just have an underlying health condition that makes recovery from an operation trickier. Private care - the future queen is in no danger of being turfed out of a hospital bed to free it up.

People are chucked out too soon from NHS hospitals because their beds are desperately needed.
Rich folk in private facilities, not so much.

Wish her well.

If she wears shape wear, how would we know how much of a tummy she has?

They don't remove 'everything' for an ovarian cyst. My late mother had an ovary removed and then thirty years later had a hysterectomy.

No matter how much privilege there is in that family, the kids are still going to be anxious and fretting. I hope that all goes well.

I think the poster was being ironic.

Perhaps you’re being ironic too (are you?)…

I think I’m losing the will to live.

She has clearly had a tummy tuck after her third and final child. Left long enough to not seem as sus. I can't believe no one seems to have figured that out

Thank goodness we've got you here to enlighten us all.

But I think most people want to relax at home - and she must have a few to choose from.

If like been suggested in the past she is bulimic, maybe some serious stomach problems have arisen.

Part of me hopes she's having something fun, like a boob lift or a BBL.

Not really. I've got endometriosis in ovarian cysts and it's not that simple. Why would you remove everything!

I don't understand the big hoo haa. It is headline news that William has gone to visit and he's taking time off to juggle childcare and hospital visits. Who cares quite frankly

What is 'amazing' is her self control to restrict eating.

I know people can say we'd all be slim with chefs cooking a vast array of different tasty, low calorie dishes but to be honest I'd still find it hard not to eat crisps and chocolate.

Don’t be ridiculous, they don’t “whip everything out” for an ovarian cyst 😂 Cystectomy is done laparoscopically, removing just the cyst, and you can go home the next day usually.
Thanks

Well.....I have an ovarian cyst and it's still there because I refused to let the surgeon remove both ovaries "because you don't need them any more and you'll probably get another cyst on the opposite side eventually anyway"

Well if one 'Has' to be in a hospital, a nice quiet private one, where one will get the very best of treatments will be far preferable to an NHS ward with hollering dementia patients, or men trying to climb into your bed, or generalised noise.

Expect it will be more like a luxurious hotel.

How long her MIL was in for is not at all relevant.

I reckon the woman had her procedure two weeks ago (Any sign of her since Christmas?), and has just arrived at her humble 4 bed house to be taken care of by her husband and staff, out of the glare of the press.

Great diversionary tactics and probably a good move on their part if this is what happened.
