How do you deal with your ovarian cyst?
Obviously you only need respond if you have/have had an ovarian cyst. How do you deal with the pain and discomfort? Did you seek a second opinion for treatment options? How long did your symptoms last? How long before you got your period again? Any other helpful tips are appreciated!
I’ve never had extremely large ovarian cysts, but I can feel them about every 1-2 weeks before my period, and the pain is awful. It’s like a sharp, stabbing pain (esp. in my left side) and then it just throbs, it almost never goes away. As for treatment, I try to walk and exercise (sounds dumb, but it helps me), and I use a heating pad and take Midol. My cycle has been really screwed up lately b/c I just got off of Yaz, so I’m waiting to see when it’ll show up again. I didn’t get a second opinion, b/c the doctor I have is one of the best in my area.
