I will be having a 7cm cyst removed in a few weeks. I have looked at info online and saw that one of the many symptoms of having cysts is weight gain and having problems losing weight. My question is will I lose weight after the removal or will it be easier to lose? Any help would be great!

Here are the symptoms:
- abdominal pain (mainly discomfort)
- A diagnosis (that is now gone) of constipation
- Extreme fatigue
- Bloated
- Loss of appetite
- Unusual weight gain
- Legs tend to be very weak
- Dull and achy pain
- On sides below ribs
- Stomach area
- pelvic
- both sides and middle
- high theigh
- Lower back
-Tender to touch
- stomach + pelvic area
- Low grade fever - off and on

My blood tests came back fine. X-Ray’s showed that the constipation was gone but I still have the pain. Fever tends to go away for two days at the most, then come back. It hurts to go to the bathroom (straining makes it worse) (the pain is a feeling of fullness and pressure/dull and achy). I’m 13 and female. Ovarian Cancer/Cysts run in the family, Breast Cancer runs in the family (grandmother died from it), and I was born without 1 artery in the umbilical cord. They said I would have rectal problems (maybe) from that at this age. What do you suspect this is?
I already went to the doctors so don’t tell me to go there. The pain level (1 - 10) and 10 being the worst, it usually sits at about a 4-5. Sometimes a 6. Plus, it is not a thyroid problem, nor is it Celiac Disease. I think it might be my kidneys, but I’m not sure. That’s why I wanted your opinions.

im 17 and my gyno might put me on birth control for my continuous ovarian cysts.

im really glad because i know it’ll help them go away a lot.

but im also worried b/c i heard you gain weight.
im 5′8 and 110 pounds.
i eat ALOT though b/c my metabolism is extremely high.

my question is that if i go on birth control will i gain alot of weight like other people usually do even thouhg my metabolism is high?
and what i REALLY wanna know is
will it make my chest bigger?
i am a size A and i reallly want the extra size.

When I was 13 I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts. I was put on a birth control which solved the problem. That was 14 years ago. I’ve gotten married and had two children since then. About 9 months after having my second child, I started getting my period every two weeks. I get cramps that are so bad that it makes me throw up and basically unable to function. I get my period for 5-7 days every two weeks and it’s extrememly heavy with heavy clotting. And about 2-3 days before I get my period I get SERIOUSLY emotional and annoyed. Like I can’t tolerate anyone or anything and I’m normally a very tolerant person. My great grandmother had a hysterectomy at 26, my grandmother had a hysterectomy at 35, and my mother had a hysterectomy at 39. I made an appt. at the gyn. but I’m afraid of what they’re going to tell me. Has anyone gone through anything similar? I’m also afraid that they’re going to put me back on a birth control which will cause me to gain weight. I’m 27 and it is EXTREMELY hard for me to lose weight. I gained 68lbs with my first child and 30 with my second. I’ve finally dropped 30lbs, but it was terribly hard. I just don’t want it to be any harder than it already is.

im 17 and my gyno might put me on birth control for my continuous ovarian cysts.

im really glad because i know it’ll help them go away a lot.

but im also worried b/c i heard you gain weight.
im a model in my schools visual arts classes.
i surf so i have a really good figure.
im 5′8 and 110 pounds.
i eat ALOT though b/c my metabolism is extremely high.

my question is that if i go on birth control will i gain alot of weight like other people usually do even thouhg my metabolism is high?
will it make me not gain weight?
will i have to start watching what i eat?
will it make my chest bigger?
i am a size a and i reallly want the extra size.

please help.
no mean answers.
thanks, aj

I have no insurance, so i cant afford to go to the doctor right now to find out. But here are a few symptoms i am having:
Weight gain
No period for 3 months
Blurred vision at times

I have been to the free clinic in my home town, but they cant determine that sort of advance care. But they did a pregnacy test and the results were negative. so i know that that’s not what it is.

Im really not sure what to do. What are the symptoms of the cyst? any information is greatly appreciated.

My doctor told me i should go on the pill because i’m prone to ovarian cysts. I haven’t started them yet but i just wanted to know are there any side affects? will i gain weight? will my face clear up? and last will i get pregnant faster after taking the pills? i’ve been trying for years! Thanks

I became anorexic back in 2002 and haven’t had a period since then. However, I have made the effort to gain some weight since then. Last Sunday my panties had blood all over them. I started jogging 45 min-to an hour a day but my pants feel snug. I thought it was just muscle. I get dizzy spells, I’m emotional, and my stomach is always growling. I also found out I have ovarian cysts(could that be the problem?). I have no insurance so I went to the planned parenthood and the preg. test, came back negative but they want me to take another test in 2 weeks. I thought I couldn’t get pregnant but the nurse said I could still ovulate. I’m so scared! My boyfriend and I want children, but now is just not the right time. I’m a cocaine addict and have only been off drugs for about 2 weeks(what damaged could I have done to my baby?). Could it be pregnancy? I’m so, so scared.

I had my first period when I was 11 years old and it was regular for one year. Between ages 12 and 17 it was irregular with periods every 1 to 1.5 months. In high school it became more irregular and the doctor said it is normal during high school due to study stress. After high school the same problem existed till now. I am 27 years old and I still have periods every 2 to 3 months and sometimes it is more. I used pills before and they work but I gain weight (not from eating) and sometimes if I use them for more than two consecutive cycles I start having short breaths and get tired very quick. I have tried different medications but all will have side effects such as vomiting and dizziness. I had checked for hormones, ovarian cysts,..etc. and everything looks OK. My height=5’2” and my weight is 162 lb. I have a healthy diet and even though I gain weight when I do not use pills and do not have a period. I am trying to conceive now and would like to have a regular period. Please Help.

I get ovarian cysts and extremely heavy periods along with horrible cramps. My doctor wants me to take a low-dose birth control pill, but I’m unsure.

I heard it makes you gain weight or could put you at risk for cancer or not having children later on?

Is this true? Should I take it or no? I’m a horrible pill-taker.

My period was late by about 1-2 weeks last month, which was really odd, considering i have very regular periods. I dont take any medication, i dont do drugs or smoke, i havent been under any stress, and i havent los or gained any weight. I had my doctor run both urine/blood prengnacy test to rule that out as well.

My period finally came and it was heavier and more painful than normal….

This morning (about 1 week before my next period), i had some deep sharp pain on my right side, where my ovaries are. It hurts when i move or stretch only. I also have some spotting when i wipe….

Could it be possible that i have a cyst? Considering pregnancy has been ruled out, and i havent been sexually active since the last pregnancy test. Would i cyst cause my period to have been late? And would it cause pain and spotting now? Did it rupture?

ok my doc believes i might have an ovarian cyst..but we havent done any tests on it yet cause she wanted to see if some medicine would help it before we did anything else….well my symptoms are

*My left ovary hurts really bad, like a constant cramp
*I have back pain
*My Abdomen hurts and it sometimes feels numb..
*My lower back hurts (around the kidneys)
*My shoulders sometimes hurt
*Im extremely tired all the time
*I feel bloated
*Im gaining alot of weight
*For some odd reason my appeitite has increased

What do you think is wrong? Why do you think my appeitite has increased? Do you think this is serious? On a scale of 1-10 how bad do you think?

the doc gave me 600mg of Ibprufen…but it doesnt help with the pain!! and im going tomorrow to see her again…i just want to kinda know what is happening…thanks so much!!

I was reading a little about PCOS today and it kind of worried me, since I had some of the symptoms. I also had a sharp pain in my right arm and when I googled it a link about PCOS came up.

My symptom:

-Increased body hair.. I have dark hair so I’ve always had some, but lately it’s been a LOT.

-Ovarian cysts

-Lately my skin has been breaking out like crazy when normally my skin is pretty clear

-Weight gain

-I don’t use birth control and I’ve never been pregnant.. I know it’s silly to think I’m infertile without a proper test but it strikes me as quite odd that I’ve NEVER become pregnant while having unprotected sex

-My body has always been very hourglass. I always had a tiny waist. But the past 2 years I’ve developed more of a belly.

Should I consider seeing a doctor or gyno and discussing it with them?
Thanks in advanced
