I hurt my back few weeks ago and my new chiropractor couldn’t fix it. After 2 weeks I went to my old chiropractor and she did some massage therapy and relieved a huge chunk of my pain. However i still have cramping-like pain in my lower back, shooting into my lower abdomen. It is very exhausting and uncomfortable pain. She also sent me for ultrasound of my ovaries because i have some crazy pain in my left ovary during first few days of my period (shoots into my leg etc…) and they found 3.5 cm cyst on my left ovary. I have an appointment on Monday but till then I am trying to figure out if i still need the massage therapy or if this lower back pain is maybe the cyst-related. Also my other question is - is 3.5 cm cyst a big deal or is it somewhat normal size… It just sounds big.. thank you for taking time reading

Five months ago I went on bc pill but I didn’t like the side effects so I stopped it about two months ago. Since stopping it I feel really sick, im not sure if it’s just because my hormones are adjusting or because I have an ovarian cyst but its really starting to worry me.
Right after stopping bc I got all the symptoms I had when pregnant with my daughter (I’m not pregnant) things like sore breasts and nausea. I lost ten pounds in two weeks and have continued to loose weight. I currently weigh only 100 lbs which is way to low. I don’t have an appetite but I make myself eat a lot because I really don’t want to lose anymore weight. No matter how much I eat I just can’t seem to gain any weight and I keep losing slowly. I also have been really tired and just don’t have any energy to do anything, I usually have a really good memory but I seem to forget everything lately, I also keep getting really dizzy and lightheaded often. I have always gotten lightheaded when I stand to quick but it seems to happen all the time right now, even when sitting.I have been urinating alot too, it almost seems like im releasing more fluid than im taking in, and when I do go I get a strange cramp it seems like its from the pressure of emptying my bladder. I have also had alot of discharge since stopping the pill, I have to wear pads everyday. It feels like a period but it is clear and has no smell. I have alot of other strange symptoms too like constipation, loss of sex drive, back pain, and a weird taste in my mouth.
I went to the ER two days ago because I was having extreme pains in my lower left side. They did a CT scan and blood tests and told me I have a large ovarian cyst. I have always gotten cysts on my ovaries and sometimes they are painful and other times not as bad, but I have never had one hurt like this one. I haven’t been able to get out of bed for three days now, they usually only last about a day. I have an OB appointment tomorrow afternoon and plan to talk to them about everything, but it just seems like every time I go to the doctor they don’t take me seriously. I really feel like something is wrong but the blood tests from the ER came back good and the only thing the CT scan showed was the cyst.
I’m sorry this is so long but if anyone has any advice it would be really helpful, I just don’t want to go to the doctor tomorrow and have another person tell me nothing is wrong and its probably just hormones or stress. Its been really hard being sick for this long with a two year old to care for along with school and work. Thank you (:

I started my period on friday and my right ovary has been aching since then. Right now the pain is bearable, but if I walk too fast or twist the wrong way I can definitely feel it. I want to know if I should go to the hospital, or schedule an appointment for the obgyn? I don’t see the point in wasting the night in the ER so they can tell me what I already know. How long does cyst pain usually last? The only reason i’m concerned is because it’s almost been 7 days.

So I haven’t had a period since july 1st i’ve taken 5 urine tests and all are negative, i’ve had some period like cramping and every so often i have a sharp pain in my left side around my hip bone it sorta feels like a knife stabbing me, i’ve also had pregnancy symptoms like frequent urination, nausea, headaches, some dizziness, moodiness, heavy breast, weight gain (around 7 lbs) backache, constipation……I’m only 22 year old i have been ttc….i have an appointment at the obgyn on monday but i really freaking out now and wanting to have an idea of whats going on!!!! Thanks for your help!!!

I’m not sure if i’m pregnant or if I have an ovarian cyst because many of the symptoms are the same. I took two "1st Response" hpt’s and they both read negative….but I missed my period this month, and sometimes I have a sharp pain only on the left side near my uterus area (especially every-time I lay down and go to bed). I have also gained weight on my sides and stomach, and I spotted a brownish color for 3.4 days, once or twice a day, then stopped, similar to implantation bleeding, I even had a small white discharge once. My breasts are also sensitive similar to pregnancy, and I’ve been more hungry, and food picky…..Could I be pregnant and have an ovarian cyst? or is it one or the other?

I was wondering if Planned Parent Hood would be a good place to go to find out what’s wrong with me. Do they do everything?
Can this even be an ectopic pregnancy?
I know I should have gone to a doctor, but I have absolutely no money right now…i’m waiting on an email from my mom to see if I can barrow some from her, but she’s out of the country for a whole month….i’m trying to get her to wire some money…..I was going to call planned parent hood tomorrow and set up an appointment….

Okay for the last month I noticed I have been constantly bloated. It just all of a sudden happened one day. 2 weeks after the bloating started I got a sharp, stabbing pain on my left side right next to the pelvic bone. I have only gained maybe 3 pounds. My pants are fitting tighter. I am only bloated in my stomach area, no where else. I was worried I was gaining weight, so I cut calories and started working out for the last 2 weeks. I have lost no weight, my side still hurts (by my pelvis) and I am still bloated. I was worried so I took a pregancy test, it came out negative. I am on birth control and take it religiously. So what else could it be…I looked up my symptoms on WebMD and found things like ovarian cysts and cancer…has anyone else had this problem before?
By the way I am 22 years old, I have 2 kids already, and am not overweight. I also have a doctors appointment on Thursday, I was just wanting to see what someone else thought.

i have been try in to conceive for about 6 months i had one miscarriage and was devastated, i have had a very small ovarian cyst. i feel pregnant now but i have just had a period. it was not like my others it was two days shorter 1 week late and brownish pink, i am going to test, i have already made an appointment, i just want to know what you ladies think

keep in mind my mother had her full blown period while pregnant with me.

Signs:
-Head aches
-Back aches
-Nausea
-Constipation
-Weight loss
-& now a bunch of weight gain
-a line down my tummy
-trouble breathing
-tummy bulging
well its a possibility i could be 2 or 3 months because april i had a irregular period only two days nd was so little i just needed a panty liner. may was my weird 4 day period with no bright red blood and so far i have not had my period this month. And i have had my period long enough to know what PMS is and when they found my cyst i had no signs or anything indicating a cyst.

So I’ve been diagnosed with cysts in my ovaries and feel kinda shitty!
I have an appointment on Wednesday which seams to be so long from now if you know what i mean.
Im hot and cold, my body feels like a mess

few questions:
Are there any supplements I can take to prevent my cysts from growing larger?
Is it ok to work out?
I’ve lost massive weight and down to 98lbs and was wondering if anyone knows of any weight GAINING diets for people whom are vegan?

TELL ME ALL YOU KNOW ABOUT OVARIAN CYSTS IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED =]

i think i might have one? well i was put on Yaz about 2 or 3 weeks ago, because my period wouldnt stop. before that i went to the GYN and she examined me, there seems to be nothing wrong so she gave me yaz. it worked fine until about a week ago. i started bleeding again, and still am. even while taking yaz. i’m also having lower abdominal pains, not normal cramping though. the bleeding is pretty heavy also. my gyn wont be back until monday so i am going to make an appointment then. would yaz stop bleeding from a cyst? does anybody know what could be wrong? i think it might be an ovarian cyst, because of the pain and everything else. i’m 15, but i dont think age has anything to do with it. thankyou to everyone who answers.

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 a miscarriage about three or four months ago i dont remember exactly because its not something i’d really like to remember. They said they think it was a chemical pregnancy bla bla bla, i’ve had three normal periods since then july august and september 28th was the last i have 35 day cycles and this month i’m now two weeks late neg preg tests, i have fatigue, i’ve gained some weight recently just like 3 pounds, i get nausea after eating or at random, i’ve had some aches in my upper legs, and lower back pain. Things that could go for both, i almost feel like pregnancy is almost ruled out at this point i have an appointment tomorrow for a pregnancy test i think their just doing a urine one because its a free clinic but anyone whose had ovarian cysts can you give me more detail, i’ve had stomach cramps but not like severe sleep loosing pain over them

Our daughter, almost 24, has had some bleeding on and off for over a month. She takes Seasonique (3 month birth control) to control the symptoms of her endometriosis (diagnosed by laproscopy 4 years ago). She has taken it for almost 3 years and has been very pleased with the reduction in the amount of pain from the endometriosis.

Suddenly in January, pain on her left side increased greatly and the on and off bleeding began. She had an appointment with her OB/GYN who said it may have been due to the endometriosis. She managed to deal with the pain up until last week when, during the night, she has some take-your-breath-away pain on her left side which went on for a couple hours. 2 days later, she felt a "pop" on her left side and had a gush of heavy bleeding for 2 hours. The pain increased throughout the day until she eventually went to the emergency room as it was after hours at her OB/GYN and they couldn’t do anything to immediately see her. They weren’t able to do to an ultrasound at the ER (small town hospital) but scheduled one for 2 days later. The dr. who did an internal exam said the left side felt "full".

On Tuesday she had the ultrasound and everything in her ovaries and uterus looked normal. She saw her OB/GYN again today and she says it could have been a cyst that ruptured, or it could be a flare-up of endometriosis. The pain is sometimes sharp, and the rest of the time she says it feels like there is a curling iron burning inside, on the left side. Her dr. would like to give her a Lupron shot, if it is endometriosis, to throw her into menopause. This seems like an unwise thing to do if it was a ruptured cyst since Lupron won’t help with that and it’s not even clear if it really helps reduced endometriosis pain.

If you have had an ovarian cyst rupture, what were the symptoms before, during and after? How bad was the pain and how long did the pain last afterwards? If you have endometriosis, have you tried Lupron? Did it help?

No, I am not pregnant.

Usually I get my period around the 20th of every month. I have had my period since I was 11, six years now, and it has always been regular and consistent (give or take a couple of days).

For the past few months, I have been having really bad cramps and sharp pains on my side (ovaries) while on my period or ovulating, so my mom thinks I have ovarian cysts and scheduled an appointment with the gyno, which is in February. I haven’t had any cramping or anything yet this month, no spotting, but some light brown gooey discharge (looks like what I have for a couple days after my period finishes up) today. Its just that my period is almost a week later than it normally is.

For the past week, I have been exercising regularly and I changed my diet, but it was nothing too dramatic, so I don’t think that’s the problem.

What could be wrong?

Ok, so I visited my doctor in October and I was advised that I had Ovarian Cysts so I started doing tons of research and I discovered that Ovarian Cysts are stimulated by a poor diet. I started researching all of the things that I needed to change in my diet and I did it.

I lost 15 lbs in a 1.5 months (by mid December) and I’ve maintained my weight since then. Prior to changing my diet, I weighed 145 lbs and I now weigh 130 lbs and I’m 5′3". I never exercised and now I’m concerned that me loosing 15 lbs just by changing my diet alone is not normal! I feel healthy, but I’ve just never lost so much weight so quickly before and this concerns me. My body looks great. Everyone notices the change and I get a few compliments a day. But the fact that they point it out only increases my worry.

This is what I did:

I stopped eating red meat and I now only eat chicken, turkey or fish; I no longer eat whit rice (just brown rice or no rice); I eat fruits every morning; I only drink water or 100% juice; I eat a light lunch consisting of salad or soup; I take vitamins; I watch my portions; No more fried foods; No more junk or fast foods; I also cut dairy out of my diet (lactose intolerant anyway).

With this information, is it your honest opinion that one can loose 15 lbs in a month and a half just by changing to this diet with no exercise? I plan to go get a physical but while I wait for an appointment, I’d like some input to put my mind at ease!

Thank you all in advance!
Please note that my intention is not to loose weight! I gladly welcome this new body and I definitely plan on maintaining it however, loosing weight was never a goal of mine and as such, am not really interested in any weight loss programs. Thank you anyway!.

I have been suffering with ovarian cysts for about a year now with irregular periods since my period started. lately, I do not seem to have any periods until the cysts burst which is excruciating. I have been prescribes percocet and birth control pills (combined pill called zovia). I have been on the pill for 3 months now, starting after my last ovarian cyst rupture so it was supposed to be done with. I have been taking the pill regularly at the same time and this week have started having symptoms of a cyst. Now my right ovary is radiating in pain like a cyst is about to rupture.. same feeling I have gotten with every cyst before.
Has anyone else been on birth control who has this same problem? Did the pills work for you or did you continue to get cysts?

Anyone have any insight as to why I am still getting cysts if I am supposedly not ovulating? Thanks (ive tried google with no good hits and calling my dr. tomorrow to get an appointment sometime this week)
I’ve already had bloodwork which he said was alright except my biliruben levels were pretty low. He mentioned PCOS but said he wanted to see if the birth control helped first. He seemed pretty confident that the dose of birth control her gave me would be sufficient in stopping my ovulation. Has anyone had this happen to them before? Thanks.
