I haven't been feeling very hot lately. I feel rather weak recently actually. Then, my menses which was supposed to come around 14th or 15th every month had not appeared, or shall I say appeared in 4 to 5 drops in one whole day and only when I pee. I feel the regular cramps but no blood.  I was already feeling like there's something just not quite right with my body right now. You can call it intuition or whatever but who else knows my body better than myself right?

I had been stalling to meet a gynae because my daytime are usually filled with going to places and getting things for our soon-to-open new company. So, I had been postponing to see a gynae for nearly a week now, until today.

I went back to KPJ Kajang because I had been here a few times before. The first when I had my appendix removed and second to see a gynae named Dr. Ralizah. She's the only lady gynae there and although the doctors in KPJ are definitely qualified, I don't feel very comfortable seeing a male gynae. However, today I was informed that Dr. Ralizah is on leave, performing umrah and will only be back next week. So, like it or not, since I'm already there I decided to just go to the other doctor. A male gynae - Dr. Lee.

I was lucky that there were not many patients today so I didn't have to wait for too long. I arrived at KPJ sometime after 3pm so the place is practically empty compared to if I come early in the morning. Dr. Lee is uncomplicated, fast and easy to understand. Unlike some doctors who likes to use Medical jargons to clueless patients, Dr. Lee is very direct and he explained everything even before I was able to question him anything. The minute I came in, I explained to him my problem in detail and he immediately suggested to do the ultrasound because he said I could have a cyst. I wasn't all too happy with the word because the last time someone in my family had a cyst - my mom - which was 7cm long, she had to undergo an operation.

Anyway, the minute the cool apparatus touch my lower belly, he saw it. There it was. An ovarian cyst. It was black in color which he says is a big possibility it is only filled with water instead of blood. Blood-filled cysts are hazy in the ultrasound. My cyst measured at about 4cm long which is not too alarming, and he informed me that he will give me some medication to help make my blood flow regularly in hope that the cyst will burst by itself. However in two weeks' time, he wants me to come back to see him or Dr. Ralizah, whomever I prefer, to scan myself again and see if it's still there. He said if it is, we can do a laparoscopy which is a minor surgery.

Well, I do hope it will go away and I won't feel this discomfort anymore. I know I'm not in pain or anything but sometimes I feel a nagging discomfort which takes off some of my focus from things I'm doing or working on. Till another two weeks then!
