Help! I had ovarian cysts removed five months ago and the surgery went very well. Every month, right after my period, since the surgery I've had bacterial infections that feel like the flu. Symptoms include pain in lower abdomen, fever and chills, stomach issues and loss of appetite. I have seen several doctors for this and they all come to the same conclusion, it's a bacterial infection so here's another antibiotic. I have also tried the alternative route of supplements and over the counter Rephresh but continue to have problems. Has anyone had anything like this or know of what could possibly be going on?
