About 2 nights ago, I am pretty sure an ovarian cyst ruptured. It was ridiculous pain. I had been havingsymptoms of cysts for about a week. Well, today I feel so ill. My abdomen is bloated. I am weak and shaky. Should I go to the ER or wait it out? Please someone respond.

I am 12 weeks & 4 days pregnant. I am having pains in the lower left part of my abdomen, back pains & frequent urination. Could this be a cyst or just pains from being pregnant?

There are some really weird things going on that are worrying me. They may or may not be related. I have been to the doctor once but not since due to an insurance fiasco.

First, no matter what I eat, I feel weird after. I wouldn’t say I feel nauseous and I don’t vomit, I have his feeling like I’m hungry again, I have what seems like heart burn, I get bad gas (out of both ends) and have searing pain from the middle of my abdomen up to my chest randomly. It is mainly when I eat grain products and dairy, but I just had a salad and I feel that way too. I have had this once before, two years ago, but this is worse. I have never been very regular and I am more constipated now.

Second, I have strange pain under my ribs and in my upper back, especially when I breathe out. This isn’t constant but at least once a day I feel this. It is annoying. I also have some pain at the top of my breasts, pretty much on my chest. This is what I went to the doctor for initially and they pretty much said they didn’t know what was wrong and that it was probably stress. I am busy and under a lot of stress as a senior in college, but even when I’m relaxed I feel this.

Third, I have lower back, lower abdominal and pelvic pain sometimes. This has occurred in the past and never bothered me but I find myself concerned. Cramps are normal before and during my period but not after, like now. I am sexually active but I am very careful (we use condoms, the pill and he won’t ejaculate inside the condom while he’s in me) and have one partner, so there is no way I could be pregnant or have an STI. I have been tested since my last partner and I was clean. I had a normal period this month also.

Fourth, and this has been going on for a very long time, I am extremely fatigued all the time. I can get an hour of sleep, 8 hours of sleep or a whole day of sleep and still feel the same. Putting one foot in front of the other is a chore, forget working out. I’ve gained weight because of this. I am taking multivitamins to see if that helps and it’s not helping so far.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? These are all real symptoms. My mom says I’m a hypochondriac but I am just trying to take care of myself and want some peace of mind until I can get back to the doctor. My friend has something similar going on and they have no idea what’s wrong. Her main issue is the feeling sick after eating anything. I’ve thought of IBS, gallbladder issues, Crones disease, endometriosis, an ovarian cyst, some sort of infection, pregnancy (which I definitely am not after the normal period), a thyroid problem, a gluten allergy, etc. Not sure if any of those things are possibilities, I will probably have blood drawn at the appointment. Has anyone else felt this way? Any info. would be great.
Just to clear something up, I got the insurance mess taken care of today. I have coverage and have made an appointment for next week. I just want to hear some opinions.

Hi I was just recently told with a CT Scan that I have an ovarian cyst the doctor said it was fairly large he said 5 sonograms I am only 19 and I had a baby August 27th also I haven’t had a period in 2 months I am not trying to get pregnant but took 2 at home pregnancy tests and took a urine pregnancy test at the hospital all were negative. I feel slight pain in my left abdomen but I also have a kidney infection, urinary tract infection and an infection from my cats. I was just curious should I be worried.. should I be cautious of this large ovarian cysts like not running around .. and there is nothing I can do.. I won’t be able to even talk to my OBGYN to monday but I am just worried it will burst I am not good with pain..

Also I heard birth control helps i have it but my obgyn told me not to take it until my period starts.. and could the cyst be the reason I am not having periods?

What does it mean to have an ovarian cyst without fluid? What is it filled with if anything? Please help with as much information as you have or websites I can go to and read about this !

I have had cyst throughout the past few years but lately i have had intense pain and went to the GYN after having a CT scan of my abdomen. I am going for a ultrasound next week. But when I went she told me that this was found on my CT scan and she just wants to cofirm it before she gives me any medical treatment.

Don’t tell me to go see my doctor for this cause I already have.

pain, very mild, started saturday last week. it would come and go during the day. it was on my lower left abdomen/pelvis. then wednesday, had to pee every 30 mins with constant pain there on my lower left and would be relieved after peeing. that lasted 1/2 the day. then friday, my lower left back ached a bit when i had to pee….relieved after peeing. only happened like 3 times. now today my right is starting to hurt a little. my left has been bothering me daily every few hrs. not sure if i have a UTI, cyst or what, but i am going to doc tomorrow….any ideas? my period was 5 days early about 2 weeks ago, so doubt i am pregnant. urinating doesnt hurt or burn. also before last saturday was drinking soda, barely any water. since then, been drinking water and cranbury juice.

I have had my period now for eight years and I used to be pretty irregular. Within the past two years, it has become more normal, with a few exceptions. I usually go around 35 days between each period, and my period usually lasts about 5 or 6 days.

In February, I started my period on the 15th and it lasted around 5 days. Then, in March, it came early. It came on March 2nd and lasted 6 days. And now I haven’t had a period since. I don’t know what is going on, and i know i’m not pregnant. I have never had sex before.

My twin sister has had problems with an ovarian cyst for the past two years. She has experienced pain with her cyst. One of her first symptoms was a very irregular cycle. I haven’t experienced any extreme pain, though. I have a slight (and i mean SLIGHT) pain in my left abdomen occasionally, but that is all. I’ve been experiencing ovulation pains for the last week or so. (Slight cramps, water retention, etc.) Should I be concerned?

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 have been at home all week as my ovarian cyst has been giving me pain. I had an ultrasound done today, but unfortunately couldn’t get an appointment in with my doctor until next Tuesday. I was able to see my report with the nurse at the ultrasound, but of course she couldn’t answer any questions. The report stated that my cyst had resolved and that I had fluid in my tube, which may be related to my menstrual cycle. This is good news of course… I think I can pinpoint why I have been in pain all week. Perhaps it was this week that my cyst ruptured/resolved itself since I had pain since Tuesday this week. My question is: how long after a cyst is resolved do most people experience pain? The symptoms I had with the cyst haven’t really gone away. I get sore from moving, sitting too long, and pretty much anything that involves the muscles in the abdomen. I get the pain mostly on my left side (where my cyst was).
I’m just looking for some kind of feedback before Tuesday, maybe even questions I can ask my doctor…

I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend the day that I got off my period (he "pulled out") then I had sex using condoms around the time of ovulation. My boyfriend noticed some liquid on the outside of the condom and to be safe we purchased emergency contraceptives. A little less than a week later I had some light spotting for a couple days. A week after that I began to experience dull pain in my lower left abdomen. I ignored the pain until one morning I woke up with extremely severe pain to the point that I could not move to get out of bed. This was on day 30. My cycles are usually 28-30 days. I’ve taken two pregnancy tests as a precaution. Both of which came out as negative. My mother said she experienced something similar when she had an ovarian cyst at age 29. Do you think this is an ovarian cyst or something else? Help is appreciated

Here are her symptoms. She had her tubes tied 7 years ago and as of last year she gained weight for know reason. She use to workout and quit b/c it was causing more weight gain. When she arches her back a hard bulge appears in her abdomen and it is sore all over it including the sides like a bruising pain she says under the skin. She missed 3 periods last year which was unusual,had a ct scan done in dec 08 and it showed several ovarian cysts. Complains of pain that comes and goes on the lower part of her body near pelvic area. I know this is the wrong category but I need to know if any of these symptoms are ones to worry about.

Can you still give birth if you have ovarian cysts? I recently found out that I have ovarian cysts, I have pain in my abdomen alot I just experienced 1 rupturing yesterday. I know birth control is a way to prevent cysts, but I would like to have a child.

Here’s the rundown to the point. My last period was Mar 10, 09. lasted the norm 4 to 5 days. It was due April 15, 09 and never showed. I took a pregnancy test a week after period was due, it was negative. Ive been having mild to sharp pains in my abdomen since 5 days before my expected period. It has been constant also accomodated with lower back pain, frequent urination, and pains in my breast. Ive been checked for endometriosis and ive had my thyroid checked, both test were fine. I have not gained weight nor been stressed. I usually have my cycle every 36 days. Ok I started bleeding 2 days ago which is 15 days past my expected period and it has stopped today. It was not a normal period. I only used a total of 4 pads within the two days. Im still having the abdominal pain and sharp breast pain. I also went to ER last night because of the bleeding and pain. They did a hpt and it was negative. The also did a pelvic exam which they say is normal for someone who was bleeding. Gave me some naproxin and sent me home and gave me numbers for gyno doctors. Its sat so unfortunatly there all closed. I guess its so frustrating because I have been regular for the past 2 yrs straight. Usually my bf and I use condoms or the pull out method but the one month we decide to use no form of birth control this happens. After my last period 3/10 we started having sex with him ejaculating inside me sometimes more than twice a week. And now this! Whats happening to my body?

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?

Is it possible to have ovarian cysts if you have had a blood test for your hormones and it came back normal? I ask, as i suffer from very irregular periods (3 motnhs late at the moment), have gained weight around my mid section (i am not pregnant) and have a dull ache around my abdomen as well as occasional sharp pains
