If you have had the cyst removed, how long did it take for your symptoms to disapper or find out if those symptoms were being caused by the cyst?

yes i had an ovarian cyst the size of a small orange. when i first realized that something was amis, i noticed a raized area on the side of my pubic area. i was having some mild pain in the area. went to doctor and went for ultrasound. yup i was a cyst. they didn’t want to remove, but me on the bc pill. this went on for 2 years, then i had to period to end all periods(felt like i was in labour) any way 1 month after that had another ultrasound and the cyst had vanished. now the doctor says i have a higher chance a reacurance. once you’ve had one you most likely will get more. good luck, and if your in serious pain don’t take no for an answer, go to the er and demand they do something for. i just hate hospitals. don’t mess around with your health.
Sometimes small cysts can be resolved by either taking birth control pills or getting an IUD like Mirena(which has hormones in the IUD). You have to catch the cysts early, though, or you can end up like the first person who posted. Talk to your doctor right away; If you ignore your symptoms, you could end up infertile.
Good luck
I have had ovarian cyst surgery three times and they were all different. One took only a week or two to recover fully and the last, most serious surgery where they removed multiple cysts, eight on one ovary alone, was much more lengthy. A solid month to recover from that. Like the other answer you got pay attention to the symptoms, if it’s a real problem, get a good gynecologist and get care immediately. My cysts use to rupture and cause me terrible pain. Unfortunately it’s a common female issue that’s not well researched or has a non invasive cure in the medical community. For more information look up poly-ovarian cystic disease. Be well.
