Delivered A Baby. Gaining Weight, Forgetfulness, Loss Of Recognition, Pus Filled Cysts. What Does This Mean?

Hello,
While I have been healthy as an ox for most of my life, I have been having several troubles since the birth of my daughter.
I have been experiencing a very frequent amount of liquid-filled cysts, bizarre weight gain and have more frequent headaches than ever before. In addition to these things, my photographic memory has been lost and replaced by forgetfulness, loss of recognition, and the inability to recall how to do certain things (like log into my business accounts that I have been working with every day for 10 years) or even forgetting how to spell simple words.
This is pretty serious, and I am very concerned that there may be somethingvery wrong with me. What should I do?

OBGYN,  's  Response
Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

If you recently delivered a baby and have pus-filled cysts (you did not specify where these are) then this sounds like an infection and must be evaluated immediately. With regard to the mental symptoms, these might also be related to an infection that has spread beyond its original location - also a good reason to get checked out. When you are evaluated, you also need to have them check for anemia and thyroid disease.

I hope that this helps and good luck!
