Swelling after ovarian cyst rupture

[Lt1998]

background - 27 years old, endometriosis diagnosed at 16, 3 laparoscopic removals, 4 years on zoladex. 18 months off zoladex due to mental health and just needing a break.

I had an ovarian cyst rupture on Sunday. First time for me and the pain was of course horrific.

However it’s now 3 days later and the bloating/swelling in my stomach is ridiculous. I’m usually a 26.5 inch waist, and currently at 30.1.

Residual pain is just akin to my normal endo, and I don’t have a temperature or anything like that. I just feel very full and very bloated!

I just wondered if anyone who has been through this has any advice or reassurance? I have sent photos to my GP but they’re likely to respond tomorrow.

thank you!

Have your phoned 111, can you go to A and E ?? It seems a long time to wait if the GP is 'likely' to phone tomorrow ?

I'd go to A&E, they can give stronger pain meds and you may need some sort of procedure as well. Did you go to hospital when it ruptured? If there's an urgent care centre near you, you could go there instead.

I agree you should go to A and E. It may be a sign of infection the swelling and you may need antibiotics. Definitely needs checked out.

Any update OP ?
