Pain right side close to the belly button - transverse colon ptosis

Dear Ema,
Cysts can come and go but can also rupture. I had cysts larger than a lemon on my ovaries and one would rupture every few months. That is horrible pain. I remember not being able to sit, lay down, stand up without horrific pain. I had a complete hysterectomy when I was 26 years old. I always wanted children, God had another plan for me.
AIP is not a common disease and many doctors in the USA have not heard of, so not sure how that will be in Prague. Most doctors are familiar with porphyria, just not Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP). In the USA there are Porphyria foundations, if there is same in Prague they may know doctors that are familiar with it. Just trying to give you as much information as I can to help you.
How does healthcare work in Prague? Is it socialized? I'm not too familiar with care anywhere except USA. Have a cousin that is a pastor who lived in Canada for a while. He did not like healthcare there at all.
You take care, and if you ever need to chat, I am here for you.
Carol

Dear Carol,
Thank you so so much for all the information! Got checked donce again by gyno -no cysts for now, but I'll keep an eye on this issue. I'm so so sorry to hear about the hysterectomy at such a young age and the outcome of it..To be honest I never really knew if I wanted kids till recently when I realised I might never have them because if the pain doesn't go away I don't know if I would risk increasing it while being pregnant and during labour..trying to prepare myself for all possible outcomes at this stage..:)
Czech Republic has a universal healthcare system based on a compulsory insurance model: we have to pay around 100$ monthly for the card which coveres all medical services, procedures and surgeries. I've heard that the healthcare system in the US is very expensive..to the point that some people had to deliver babies at home because they couldn't afford going to the hospital..
Carol, I am here for you too, should you ever need someone to talk to💙
Oh, and don't hesitate to reach out if you ever decide to visit Prague and need help or info.
Sincerely, Erna
