Woman told by doctors to lose weight for years when it was actually a ‘six stone cyst’
10.05.2023 - 18:17 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A woman spent most of her 20s suffering from agonising back pain, intensely painful periods and couldn’t even tie her own shoe laces. Paisley Dylan even stopped going outside as she was worried people would stare at her due to the size of her stomach.
The now 30-year old visited two different GPs about concerns over her stomach, only to be told that it was nothing to worry about and that she should lose weight. She faced awkward stares from people and would be asked if she was pregnant.
Although Paisley, from Cwmbran, South Wales, lost three stone in a bid to shrink her stomach it made no difference and she was actually asked by one woman if she was expecting triplets, WalesOnline reports.

What she didn’t know what that over the course of seven years an ovarian cyst had been growing inside of her. The cyst, which has now been removed, was made up of 42 litres of fluid - a total of around six and a half stone in weight.
Speaking about the years leading up to the discovery, Paisley said: "I have always had problems with my period, whenever I would go to the GP for that I was always told to lose weight, that will help. When my stomach started getting bigger, I blamed it on that."
Living with the cyst and the side-effects it caused had a huge impact on Paisley’s mental health. She added: "I didn't leave the house. Every time I left the house people were looking at me. People would ask if I was pregnant. I could not tie my own shoe laces.
"People would come up to me and say 'When are you due?', it's embarrassing when you have to say I am not. One woman approached me and asked if I was having triplets. It is embarrassing
