In preparation for our midwife appointment, I read through my medical records last night to get the details on my c-section suture. What an interesting read it turned out to be. According to the operative report, a .5 x .5 mm specimen from a 3 x 3 mm cyst on my left ovary was sent to pathology for biopsy. I had no idea. No one told me anything about it.<\/p>\n
Granted, I did not have a follow-up after my cesarean, so maybe they were going to tell me about it then. I have no idea of the results of the biopsy, although I feel confident that someone would have gotten around to calling me if there had been a problem. And considering it’s been two years of health since then, I have no concerns. Like most ovarian cysts, it’s probably gone by now anyway. My only issue is… no one told me!<\/p>\n
Knowing that they sliced me open, dragged out my major organs, flipped my uterus inside-out, tubes and pipes all hanging around it, and then stuffed them all back in (very gently, I’m sure) — that is one thing. And it’s fine that they found something and decided to test it. But the fact that it was never mentioned… that creeps me out. What else is going on under those harsh lights?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
