For the last month I’ve been feeling like i have a faint cramping in my abdomen. I’ve been taking the pill for 6 months and have had no problems with it. The cramping is not more than a 3 out of 10. My period is normal and nothing has changed as far as my diet. Am I experiencing side effects of a ovarian cyst?

n if u had or know someone who has what do they take for pain.
Thank u so much.

I was stunned! I am of the opinion that EVERY organ has a purpose, and why remove a HEALTHY ORGAN? Is there any recourse I can take?
Reply to FU: GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES! Every organ has a purpose, MORON!

WHAT IS THAT
IVE HEARD IT WAS OVARIAN CYST OR SOMETHING

I had an ultra sound 6 weeks ago which showed a complex ovarian cyst on my right side. My gyno had me follow up today with another ultrasound. It showed the one on the right was gone but it showed a complex cyst on the left side along with some fluid around it. Now she just wants me to follow up in 6 weeks to see if it’s gone. Does this sound right? Should I get another opinion? I don’t like to wait and see, What if it is gone and there is one on the other side??

Ultrasound shows a "simple" cyst. (not likely cancerous)
alone? It really doesn’t hurt me much – just a little achy at times.
I have concerns about anesthesia.
Thanks everyone who answers.

I have a few small cysts on both ovaries (but not PCOS, I had all my hormones checked, and all were normal). usually I get pain, like pressure, from the time of ovulation till AF arrives. I am currently 4 DPO and the pain is there, but it is differnt than usual, still pressure, but different, hard to explain, and it’s not as bad as usual.
Anyone with cysts get pregnant and have a similar experience?
hoping it’s my month!

For the last week or two I’ve had on and off type pain and it bothers me every day and is sometimes very sharp. I heard that most cysts go away by themselves (mine got smaller) but I’m concerned about ovarian cancer and there’s a huge cancer history in my family but so far no ovarian cancer and my hysterectomy was not for cancer. I read that some benign cysts will require treatment in that they do not go away by themselves, and in quite rare cases, others may be cancerous. I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts about five or six years after my (TVH/kept both ovaries) total vaginal hysterectomy. I didn’t have symptoms of ovarian cysts when they were first diagnosed and the doctor ordered the ultrasound and kept an eye on the cysts with updated ultrasounds.The last ultrasound about three years ago showed the cysts got small enough and I didn’t need further ultrasounds.

1. Anyone have advice on dealing with the pain and would heat help if surgery isn’t indicated?

2. If it’s not gas or appendicitis I’m experiencing does anyone know what can be done for them besides taking out the ovary?

One doctor I didn’t like or agree with recommended I get my ovaries removed because of the history of cysts and I didn’t see him for that problem and he refused to help me with why I went in there and think he was just trying to get more money (the wait was over 3 hours in his office).Three other doctors agreed to not take out my ovaries including my surgeon if it wasn’t cancerous as it could prevent me from going into surgical menopause.
Thanks for the info. It’s good to know a cyst can be removed without removing the ovary. A cyst on the left showed up on CT scan so that didn’t cause my pain on the right. My dr. told me to see gastroenterologist for possible bowel spasms. I was previously given a script for spasms but didn’t have anymore. The gastroenterologist’s office wanted me to wait till tomorrow (6 days after being seen by gyn) to be seen as dr. was booked solid. I also got an answer at this link everyone should see. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkWrK0KNEPFeijkgqQyW4Wzsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20091118172510AA9p5Dv

A family member died from e-coli in her system which spread to all her organs and she refused to be seen by a dr. because she was to embarrassed about her weight. Had she gone in she’d be alive today. I was lucky I persisted and had them take me in that same day. I found out I had a fever (97.8) in gastroenterologist’s office being masked by Celebrex or it may have been caught earlier.

I am pretty sure I have an ovarian cyst on the left ovary. I had one last year that was removed and I am having all the same symptoms but they are worse this time. My question is to anyone who has had a cyst rupture or twist.Did you notice a sudden increase in your pain/symptoms or did they gradually get worse before it ruptured or twisted. I’m talking about before it actually happened, not when it happens. I do realize that the experience is very, very painful when it happens, I mean did anyone notice before it happened. I have had stronger pain,getting worse over the last 2 days. Not long enough to go to the ER but strong and more frequent episodes of sharp stabbing pain where I cant move and the constant cramping/ache is stronger and I also feeling a bit light headed and dizzy. Also i started having left shoulder pain yesterday that has gotten a lot worse, but it isn’t exactly ’shoulder tip’ pain , its the whole shoulder and my whole left arm feels quite heavy. I had shoulder tip pain when my cyst was removed (from the gas in the stomach) and it is similar now but not just in the shoulder tip. Also i understand that when a cyst ruptures or twists that it is extreme pain but has anyone had a cyst that just bleed? would this cause as much pain as one rupturing or twisting.

My mother had ovarian cysts and she said it might be hereditary, I think I might have them too.
