i have an ovarian cyst, that is 4cm long. and it is over my ovary. my Gyn put me on a birth control pill at the beginning of this week. but yesterday i got my period. it is at the up most untolerable! the pain seems lke it will not go away at any cost. ive done everything i can to make the pain go away. things that normally work. but this time isnt. ive taken midol, avil, warm bath, heating pad, layed down,drunk a lot of water, everything seems lke. any way i can get rid of this horrilbe period pain?

Although they didn’t end up removing
anything because when they got inside, they saw that my
body had absorbed the cyst, I was wondering
if it was still
okay to have an orgasm? I was told
not to have sexual intercourse for 2 weeks, but is it the same with clitoral stimulation? especially considering they didn’t end up removing anything.

I have PCOS and my doctor found a cyst that is more than 5 inches on my ovary. I have an appointment to go back in 6 weeks and if it has not gotten smaller I will probably have to have it removed. I was just wondering, what is the surgery like? Where do they go in, where do they cut, etc. Will I have scars and will it hurt? Will it damage anything?

i never had my menstrual period since 21 yrs old and dr said its menopause but at 21yrs old they wanted to do more tests on me but to much of a hassle plus i felt like a a freak they couldn’t figure this out and some dr.s kept sending me here there then i did have one operation.well any way my ? was how do you get these ovarian cysts?

I went to my ob/gyn back in June mainly due to pelvic pain I was having generally on my left side. It had also been 2 years since my last pap. My doctor did a pelvic exam and a pap and after asking me a series of questions about my symptoms told me that I probably had a cyst on my ovary. She did not order an ultrasound though. She put me on birth control pills and told me if it did not help to call her back. Well about a week later I got a phone call that my pap was abnormal (ASCUS positive for low risk HPV) so I went back in for a colposcopy. The results of the colposcopy were CIN 1. I go back in November for a re-colpo. However, I am still having pain on my left side. It will go away for a couple of weeks and then come right back. The most painful time is during my period. I called my doctor and told him and he said to try one more pack of birth control pills and if it didn’t help they would schedule more tests. My mom and my sister both have endometriosis. My mom had to have a complete hysterectomy when she was 22 due to her endometriosis. I am 25. I have been doing a lot of research and found out that your sigmoid colon runs very near your left ovary. So I thought maybe it could be diverticulosis. So I took some mild stool softners (that were not oh so mild!). I had major diarrhea that whole day (sorry if TMI). This made my left side hurt even more. Could it possibly be because when you have diarrhea it causes your colon to spasm and it rubbed against my cyst causing irritation? Also I had a c-section Jan 2008. Could I have developed adhesions causing my left side pain? Basically the only symptoms that I am having is left side pelvic pain (comes and goes.. sometimes it will hurt for 2 weeks sometimes it won’t hurt at all for 2 weeks) and mild lower back pain (not sure if the lower back pain is from PMS or the cyst). I do not have any pain during sex, frequent urination, full feeling.. etc. Should I be concerned about ovarian cancer? I’m just ready to get the ball rolling and get an ultrasound. Should the doctor have ordered one first of all in the first place? I was just wanting some personal opinions and maybe some people that experienced similar things. Thank you!

a few friends and myself had a big debate about this, opinions please,

If you had an ovarian cyst accompanied with pain, was the pain on the same side as your cyst?

I Just found out I’m pregnant. (5 weeks along) And something I am very concerned about, is that I have had ovarian cysts in the past and i have one on my right ovary as of right now (simple cyst) I am worried about Miscarrying or having an Ectopic pregnancy..Has anyone had/have ovarian cysts and gone through a healthy pregnancy (the first time) also What are the chances? I am definatly going to talk to my doctor in a few weeks when i’m due for my appointment but i was really concerned and thought I would ask your your guys’s insight as well. t

My husband and I had been trying to concieve for about a year when I was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. Since we had gone through other fertility testing with no clear indication for our infertility, my Dr. thought it would be best to remove the cyst surgically since there was a possiblity it was causing our problems getting pregnant. My surgery is in 1 week and I was wondering how long it will take to recover afterwards. When can I expect to get a normal period again and how long afterwards can my husband and I start trying to concieve again?
