Menopause — The Battle with Ovarian Cysts

3 min readNov 25, 2022

So, a couple of weeks ago I started feeling more icky than normal. The bloating is excessive, the pain moving through my tummy excruciating. Add in a few strange muscle spasms (one is in my upper lip), the odd smell of fish when I heat up water (seriously wtf?) and lower back pain and you get Ovarian Cysts. Whoopie.
