OK this week I was presented with what can only be described as feeling as though I was being branded by a hot iron on my clit every time I moved my body a millimetre. Another two of these cysts grew first as tiny raised dots and then boy, within three hours they were like walnuts. Only this time one was covering my clitoris and the other one slightly lower on the left hand side so they touched each other. I shouted at the hospital and demanded that this was not normal. Today I get called back into the doctors office after being on a third set of antibiotics all since Tuesday. He said that I have a problem with producing insulin and progesterone and that could be causing this area on my body to behave like this. During the testing to rule out other things like ovarian cancer, polycystic ovarian syndrome and the onset of early menopause, they found unusually high levels of protein in my urine and abnormal bloods came back too. I have had a problem with producing progesterone for about two years now but to have developed into a diabetic as well? So more blood tests booked for this coming Tuesday morning. It is called a 'Fasting Sample' where you dont eat or drink anything the night before from about seven onwards only water is allowed. Then go for the test first thing in the morning. Straight after the blood is taken, you are given a glucose drink and then blood is taken again four hours later. I am fairly confident that I do have diabetes because of the other symptoms the doctor and I have discussed today. Like facial hair and falling asleep after eating certain foods. No one ever suggested looking at diabetes before really as being associated with cysts on the vulva. I find that weird because if you do a search on google for vulva cysts, almost every site points to a link with diabetes. I always say it, but when in doubt always seek medical advice and if you dont feel happy with the diagnosis, get a second opinion. Just think I could have lost some of my anatomy by now and the problem still not have been solved. The first thing anyone spoke to me about was surgery. I could not get out of there fast enough in November. There was no way I wanted to discuss it! There mere thought scared me to death. Anyway, at least if anyone out there gets an angry red lump that grows rapidly, ask to get your hormone levels checked along with the way your blood handles your sugar intake. It may well save you a lot of time and terrible pain in the process. Princess
