I just want yo know if anyone has experienced birth control getting rid of a ovarian cyst. I have a 10 cm one.. would it work on that large on one?

Need help. Burning/throbbing pain in upper abdomen/back/chest. Very severe. 1st attack was a couple weeks before I found out I was pregnant in 2006. Left until 12/07 and ongoing. I had my gall bladder removed, no relief. Was put on nexium, librax, and carafate. I cannot find a corralation between pain and foods, but chaged my diet anyway. CT scans, MRI, angiogram all normal - did find ovarian cyst and fluid in pelvis, but no pelvic pain. Pain comes 1-4x per week, can last for 15 minutes to days. Intermittant, comes and goes throughout day. No pain reliver can help except morphine in the hospital - kinda feels like back labor. Help!
i have numerous doctors appts coming up for everything and a colonoscopy in october. reflux has been ruled out but i do have mild gastritis and have had h pylori. liver enzymes have been high - also numbness/tingling in finger tips - its a mystery

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!

My appendix ruptured almost a year ago and the year before that I had an intestinal blockage (the doctor thinks they are un-related!). Though I’m told everything is fine I am still quite swollen and I’ve gained about 30 pounds. Very little "fat to pinch" on abdomen - just a hard, swollen feeling. Colonoscopy 1 month post-op was normal. I recently started experiencing tenderness on the left side. My doctor suspected diverticulitis but blood tests revealed normal white count (no infection), elevated BUN ratio, and slight anemia. I’m awaiting a CT scan (new insurance pending) to rule out ovarian cysts. Bottom line is that my body is just not the same as I’ve lost my almost-flat tummy and what was a sculptured waistline. And of course - I’m concerned with the recent discomfort. I recently read about "twisted colon". I’m grasping for any possible explanation… anyone experience similar scenario?

Ok I am 26 I am a female and I do have endometriosis and ovarian cysts. I did have an issue with the pain meds and now I am on a methadone maint program to help with pain since I cannot take the other meds (also prescription motrin) but I never feel good I always have a stomache ache ALL THE TIME I never feel healthy ever and I also gained alot of weight The dr did tests they went down my throat and it showed irritations but nothing major What can it be makking me feel so sick all the time and by sick I mean a nassaous stomache very tired just so unhealthy and what kind of foods can I eat to help me feel better diet wise? It just scares me that I am on 26 and I am always taking pills between pepto bismol and tums and rolaids it is crazy!!!!! any suggestions that are not sarcastic would be so greatly appreciated

The birth control is to sustain the cysts, but I was wondering how safe it actually is to use the birth control to sustain the cysts and still be able to work effectively. My girlfriend occasionally gets extremely bad pains from her ovarian cysts, and she just recently got some of the worst pains about 4 or 5 days after the most recent time we’ve had sex and she believes that her stomach is a bit swollen along with the pains. Can the cysts cause swelling and are the chances of getting pregnant very high considering the situation? Thanks.
Also, will the cysts ever cause any kind of stomach swelling, or at least swelling in the area of the stomach? Mainly belly button and below.
She actually just went to get an ultrasound today and the ultrasound was full of orange dots all around the ovaries. The doctor said that this was bloodflow. What kind of bloodflow is that? Is that normal, or did the cysts maybe break or something like that?

I run every day, the maxium I run will be 45 minutes. For the past two months, everytime I run I experience intense pain in my lower right side, and after I am done with my run, i notice a good amount of blood in my urine. The blood only appears once after the run, but the pain stays for a few hours after.Nothing has changed in my diet, or amount of time I run. I am wondering if anyone can suggest what is casing this.

I also have a severe case of endometriosis and reoccuring ovarian cysts, all which have been on my right ovary.

I had a dull side ache for about a week and then it got really bad last night. This morning when I woke up the pain was almost completely gone but as the day has wore on I’ve gotten a bit of a dull ache back. Does this sound consistent with a burst ovarian cyst? If it does, how long is this dull pain going to last? I don’t have any other symptoms. No fever, nausea, vomiting, etc etc

i have gained about 30lbs in the last 2yrs and i know part of it has been stress but my doctor just recently diagnosed me with polysistic ovarian cysts. i have then on both ovaries and he said that the weight could have been from them. i eat very healthy and exercise as much as i can without over doing it. any recommenations on what i could do to help lose the weight or at least some? i am alos trying to get pregnant and the weight gain plus the cysts play a factor into why im not getting pregnant any help is greatly appreciated
it is all in the belly area too so its the hardest to lose

I am more or less asking this for my girlfriends sake… she tells me she is worried that her period is extremely light. Me being a guy am not sure of why this could be but she tells me she is afraid she may be pregnant. So we sat down and talked about it. We have not had sex since the end of February, about 2 days after her period ended. So to be cautious we use a condom, the birth control she is on and I pull out. I know these are not fail safe, but I personally don’t see a way of her getting pregnant, she also has a slim to no chance of getting pregnant due to having ovarian cysts. She had her period in March on time, nothing wrong as well. So it does not make sense to me that she could be pregnant but I she is worried, so I get worried. Does anyone know if this light period could be due to stress, or a change in her diet or anything else? I personally am not all that worried about being pregnant as I do not see it as being possible, but any insight would be great. Thanks!
Thanks, I wish it was that easy though lol. I tried having her relax last night haha. Thanks for the advice though.

I’m 17 and sexually active.
I’ve been on birth control since I was 13, because otherwise I would have two periods a month. I started out on the patch, then learned how dangerous it could be, and switched to ortho tricyclen. Only a few months ago did I switch to Yaz. About five months ago I developed a pain in my lower abdomen which turned out to be an ovarian cyst the size of a softball (not exaggerating). Instead of doing anything drastic they put me on Yaz, hoping that since it’s stronger it would get rid of the cyst. Amazingly, it worked, and I’ve been on Yaz ever since.

The problem is, the past two months or so, I’ve been getting really weird symptoms.
I’ve been getting insane cravings. Tonight, for instance, I really really wanted a turtle cheesecake from the restaurant we were at. I’ve only eaten cheesecake once in my life, and I’ve never been overly fond of it. I’ve also been emotional on and off. I felt very sad when my little sister popped the legs and head off of her balloon ladybug. It’s ridiculous.
The thing is, I’m NOT pregnant. It’s been going on for more than a month, in which I’ve had a period, AND taken a pregnancy test, which was negative.

I’m thinking the bc might really be making my body think I’m pregnant. But if I switch back to a weaker one, I might get cysts again! What do I do?

I have a 3.5 ovarian cyst, and I am not sure if it ruptured or not. I got a sudden sharp pain in my back side that quickly spread to my stomach and back. What could this be?

So, I’ve given up the idea of being pregnant although I’ve really felt strange lately. AF visited this morning, so I’ve resigned myself to thinking there’s another reason. I’ve been excessively bloated for 4-6 weeks but my diet and exercise haven’t changed in the least. I have had numerous pregnancy symptoms, but all negative tests. I started cramping last night pretty bad and woke up to AF. Since I started on bc 4 years ago, I’ve not had cramps this bad with a cycle. Any opinions? I’ve thought possibly endometriosis or ovarian cysts, but a transvaginal ultrasound approximately 6 weeks ago showed nothing unusual.

I recently stopped using birth control for the first time in 7 years and have an ovarian cyst. Both of these affect my hormones and due to this I am gaining weight. What can I do to counteract the effect that the hormones have on my weight?

since you’re not supposed to ovulate?
