Misdiagnosed: Ovarian Cysts and Cancer Mistaken for Other Health Issues

A woman in Ohio who couldn't lose weight despite dieting and exercising has revealed the surprising diagnosis curbing her fat loss. Jess Cisco, who weighed 245lbs at her peak, spent 12 months swapping burgers and pizza for chicken, cottage cheese and evenings at the gym — but couldn't lose a single pound. Convinced that something was wrong, she was referred for hospital scans which revealed the 32-year-old had multiple cysts on her ovaries. The pus-filled sacs can cause weight gain by releasing extra estrogen, the female sex hormone that boosts appetite and promotes the accumulation of more fat cells. But despite her condition, Ms Cisco has lost more than 100lbs after gastric bypass surgery.
