I have a cyst on my right ovay, and I have heard that functional cysts only get about 1.5-3cm. Mine is 8cm (roughly 4 inches). Is it possible that this isn’t functional and it is a different fluid inside like blood or something worse? I don’t know if should be worried about this or not. What is the possibility that because this cyst is so big that it could aggravate my appendix, and would I know if it burst (the cyst)? Plus do I need surgey and would I possibly loose my ovary?

I was in a car accident 3 months ago, and my emergency room tests revealed a large ovarian cyst. Today, the ultrasound technician was astounded that the nearly 5cm cyst is completely gone; but now there’s a new one on the other ovary. She said that I’m probably prone to cysts.

How is it that cysts come and go without any treatment or intervention? Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Thank you!

I had alaparoscopy and left ovarian cyst removal. I was out for 3 hours and woke to find a large tube in my lower abdomen with 1 liter of blood and water draining from me. I was kept in overnight and was in severe pain and could not walk or move for 2 days. I then got infections in my wounds. I was told that a full abdo flush was given but nothing else was found to be wrong after cyst removal. Why did I need the tube and 1 liter of saline inserted then??

because i’ve had one and worried about one appearing again is they a percentage of them occuring and what about the chances of conceiving do they decrease?

I’ve had this pain in my right side, I thought it was a torn oblique muscle, but discovered the pain while having sex. Then it was really painful right before my period and hurts when I try to excercise or anything strenuous. I dont have insurance. What should I do?

i have a big cyst and i want to know will it cause any pain or damage will it be harmfull to have sexual intercourse…please be accurate in your answer.

Hi,
My wife is 9 weeks pregnant and had an ultrasound 3 weeks ago which showed a 4cm ovarian cyst. She is having excruciating pain everyday which may subside for a few minutes to an hour then comes back strongly. We had another ultrasound 5 days ago and the cyst was measured at about 4.3cm. The nurse practitioner we saw was nice but I felt she downplayed the symptoms. The pains my wife feels usually confines her to the couch and she can’t even go to the rest room! She says its the worst pain she has ever felt. We are dead worried and not sure what to do. Our next Dr’s appointment is in 1 month!
Any ideas or suggestions?
