Frustrations w/ovarian cyst, what are my options?
I a 2cm cyst on my right ovary (prob bigger now that its been a few weeks) and since I am way past when I would normally ovulate I suspect another one on my left ovary.
My treatment plan so far is my doctor has another ultra sound set up for either during my period (which is suppose to begin in a few days) or after it is over. This is in hopes that it will resolve it self. I was told period sometimes or usually make the cyst go away. However I already had one period and it has not gone away.
I have been off work because of the discomfort and on and off pain. She has given my vicodin but I don’t want to become dependent on them and have to take them every time I get these. But lets face it ibuprofen works for cramps but not this. I have had one baby and this pain when its at its worse is comparable to labor.
If it has not gone away and another is on the left ovary what can I as the patient do other then wait in pain? And can anyone share there experience if similar at all? Right now it still feels like the cyst is there and hurts every other day the same. I thought if it was rupturing it would be all over pain in the pelvic area and abdominal area from the fluid leaking out. I have had one cyst before this and it was similar but ruptured right away. This is dragging on and disrupting my life. I appreciate this another cross us woman have to bear.

i get cysts everywhere and they screw me over so bad…… the worse are the ovaries…. i had to get mine removed cuz i just couldnt do anything anymore… they said my period would help… but it was just painful and i cried for a week straight.
get them removed if they are causing you that much discomfort. its not worth it… you will feel like a new person after.
