Right Ovarian Pain, what is it?

I have had sharp pain in my right ovary for almost a two and a half years now. I went to a doctor one day because I was clammy and had a cold sweat, thinking I was having a miscarriage. They assumed I had an ovarian cyst that had ruptured. But they didn’t have any proof other than water around my ovary. I have been back many times after that, which was 2 years ago, and every doctor i’ve gone to, every exam I have had, all came back and told me I was fine. My pain is around my menstrual cycle is so severe, I double over. During the month, it is just painful, and might bring a single tear to my face. When I first started my period 5 years ago, I was regular, and up until I turned 15 I was. Then I got pregnant, lost the baby, got on birth control, got off a year later, and have been off for a year. After that, my period has not been regular. Last year I had maybe 5-7 periods, one lasting 27 days.

Does anyone have suggestions on what it could be?! Next time I go to the doctor, I want to ask about certain things instead of just saying I hurt. Because this is NOT fine.

My doctor just found out that I have a large ovarian cyst and an enlarged uterus what do I do?

I had surgery in February to remove a cyst however, when they got in there they found out that it was not actually a cyst it was a tumor so they removed my entire right ovary. He also tied my tubes when he did the surgery. Now I am having pain on the left side. My doctor did an ultrasound and found that there is another cyst now on my left ovary and I have an enlarged uterus. I am only 26 and I really don’t want to start thinking about a hysterectomy. Do I really even have any other options?

Has anyone who has had ovarian cysts found that their pain hurt more when lying down?

Exercise after ovarian cyst removal?

My doctor restricted me from doing exercise for 2 months since my wound has to heal from the inside (wound in the outside is healed already) to prevent a hernia. My surgery was July 27th so a couple of weeks had past by…point is i’m the type of girl that has to be in top of her figure since i can gain weight easily. Ever since my surgery i haven’t worked out and you can already tell the weight gain on me specially in my face. I need to start a diet but we all know a good effective diet has to be combined with exercise to get results, specially in my face. I can’t even go jogging my doc said, so what can i do???? Any tips that can help plz? Would it really affect me if i do light exercise?

Can an ovarian cyst cause my period to be late?

I had a lot of pain and nausea this past month and I’m almost certain it’s another cyst. I also had one in Feb. My AF was due yesterday. I am very regular. AF shows up every 28 days, but not this month. I took a hpt this morning and it was a BFN so I’m wondering if the cyst is causing this?
