I had an ultrasound today in which they found a 1" cyst on my left ovary. How hopeful is it to still be able to have children, and does anyone know of any treatments besides birth control? I want to get pregnant. My husband and I have been trying for almost 3 years.

How do you know if they are benign or cancerous? Are the symptoms the same?

Two days ago I found out that I have a large cyst on my right ovary and a smaller one on the left. I have already scheduled the surgery but it is 4 weeks away. I have a physically demanding job and don’t know if I should begin light duty, for fear that the cyst could burst prior to surgery. The pain in not manageable with OTC pain relievers OR heat. I intend to ask my doctor these questions soon, but need some advice in the meantime.

Hey guys,
I’ve been having lower left side pain for a few mnths on and off now and lower back pain. I went to the hospital today for appt. The doctor said he wants to do a pelvic ultrasound. He examined me and pressed my lower back and asked did it hurt there when he did it ..it really hurt. What could this be?

I had a cyst on my right ovary about 3 months ago..Now I have the same feeling on the left side, but with shoulder pain this time. The last one on the right I had a bunch of symptoms but no shoulder pain?!

I have an extremely painful ovarian cyst and very worried. I have been granted charity care at a local hospital due to umemployment and no insurance. After my ultrasound, the attending Dr. called and explained they can not do anything for me but will give my a referral to another hospital. Does anyone know why they will not order a ca-125 or surgery?
This cyst is solid and large.
Thank you so much for your responses.

I was diagnosed with a 5mm dermoid.

My doctor was able to confirm that I had one burst not too long ago as they saw fluid around my ovary in a sonogram. Due to some of my persistent symptoms over the last couple of years, I’ve probably been having these cysts on/off. They’ve not really caused a lot of problems, except twice in the last 3 years, I had horrifically painful experiences that I’m thinking were due to cysts bursting. Horrible abdominal pain that had me in a fetal position on the floor, sweating, nausea, just downright hell. First time I went to the ER not knowing what it was – they couldn’t find anything at all. I even went for a sonogram a few weeks later to check for cysts and nothing was found then either.

But now I’m wondering – if I should get that pain again, should I go back to the ER?? Is it dangerous to have an ovarian cyst burst or is it just unbelievably painful and I shouldn’t worry too much?? Please only answers from people who know what they’re talking about….

I have asked my Doctor is that pre menopause she said No and my FSH Level is 7.5 and estradiol is 27, and Proclaitin 11.89, and I found out that I have 1.4 Cm Fibroid and ovarian cyst.. and my period has been scanty for 4 years now.. and I wanted to know how to treat and it and to normalize it ? I stopped taking the bcp 2 years ago and My period has been scanty since I stopped takling it..

my friends’ doctor told her that she has a little tiney ovarian cyst on both ovaries and said that this is normal. do u think this may cause infertility?
