okay so a few months ago i had this crazy pain in my stomach i went to the hospital, it was an ovarian cyst. they gave me pain med and birth control to take… ive been on it ever since.( just the birth control) … now im gettting the same pains its literally killing me.. idk whether or not to stick it out or get help.. nothing seems to help… my mom isnt too concerned so idk whether i should be.. i dont see how i can sleep. please helpp thankss
im 19, been taking birth control since january everyday… i did have an unltra sound the first time to make sure it went away, and it did..

the nurse practitioner put me on metformin 500 because my insulin level was high, not low and I’ve had irregular periods since I was 11. but it didn’t regulate it and my insulin had lowered a great amount. The nurse couldn’t figure out what was wrong. But another nurse had given me some information on PCOS. so I did some research on it. and come to find out, I had every last symptom that was listed. So my mom asked the nurse to get me tested. they did an ultra sound to see if there were cyst or anything, both inside and out. they called a few days later and told me I had polycystic ovarian syndrome. ones busted or something ,I have cyst, and I have fluid on the lining. something like that. my mom was in a hurry and didn’t tell me where I could understand. Anyways, the nurse wants to put me on birth control, but isn’t that used for the same reason metformin is? and is one of the side effects for metformin weight gain? because my weight is always constantly up and down,. out of nowhere I’ll lose 10 pounds and then gain 13 back. But when I went to the doctor about one in a half weeks ago, came back and found out I gained 10 pounds in only a week and a couple of days. I’m pretty sure it was the medicine, I’ve never gained that much weight in a week or so. should I tell the nurse? or should I just start watching what I eat? so after I take the pill, what’s next? is that it? I’ll still be able to have children, right? it’ll just be harder for me to conceive? or is there more to it?
im by the way =P

i thought since she was my mom she was suppose to repsect me no matter what. but all she ever does is tease me about being fat and make bad comments. She did the same last year when i had an Ovarian cyst. the doctors think i have another. meaning once again the weight i gained wasnt my fault. yet she still makes fun of me.

ALL the time she tells me i’m fat. calls me "fatty" and "The fat daughter" even though i have a sis who is over 250 pounds!

she always makes jokes telling me i look pregnant and stuff. i’ve told her countless times that it hurts me. and she wont stop because her and her husband(my step dad) think its funny, and fun to tease me.

earlier today i found out i was babysitting, i asked my mom when the baby was comeing. she pointed to my stumach and said "why dont you tell me Fatty?"

and than got mad at me and told me to get the hell to my room because i cryed over it.

I dont see why she cant just respect me and be nice. I cant help the fact that i look huge from having an Ovarian cyst. I really cant.
I’m 17

and for the boy who asked

before i had the Ovarian Cyst. I was 130. she teased me than about looking like a boy. She always finds something. And I cant lose Weight until i have this Ovarian Cyst removed. the last one was 30 some Cm when removed. they think this one will be bigger.

ok so i am a lil bit scared to go to a doctor and he tells me that i have an ovarian cyst.
well i know my mom and my grandma had it and they keep saying it runs in the family, so now im having all these stupid symptoms like irregular periods , pelvic pain that sometimes hurts so much i cant move and other times i just keep on walking and some other stuff… well my question is..had anyone else had an ovarian cyst , how does it feel like ? should i be concerned or its prob. nothing big…, helllpp me ..im scared. Just tell me ur story

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….

I’ve had dull pain over the last week or so just under my tummy-button that comes and goes, had to go to the toilet maybe six times a day but no joy, and feeling pretty bloated and sick.Only problem is I’m due a period within about a day, and my local hospital has a habit of blaming any abdominal pain on menstrual cramps, and I really don’t want to go if I’m unsure.
Also,mom had a malignant ovarian cyst about 20 years ago, so is it genetic or runs in the family?

have pain in my lower a domin. It comes Nd it’s goes. It’s really painful. When it’s here. There is pain on my right side on my private area. It goes up to the crease of where the stomach and private area
meet. There is pain in my lower back too. The pain makes me want to cry.

I have been fasting so I haven’t been drinkig much water.
I had this pain a while ago and I was rushed to the emergency room but the doctor did and ultrasou d and he said it a as not appendix pain. It he wanted to check for an ovarian cyst. My mom did not let him be ause I am very young.

I am rreally young and I’m still a virgin. I am 14.

What can this be?
its not about affording water lol. I have a cooler in my house and I dont have any financial issues in my family, but thanks for the advice. BTW I dont drink anything other than bottled mineral water even if I have a cooler.
It makes my mom angry because she thinks im a snob but I dont go near tap.

Well actually I’m gonna be 14 on the 12th.
I have been having a bad cramp/bone-ache in my left lower abdomen.
I couldn’t sleep last night because it got so bad, so my mom took me to the E.R, they did a ultrasound and said I have an ovarian cyst. The doctor prescribed me some Vicodin for the pain and said the cyst should go away on its own, and that later I will have to take birth control and see an OBGYN (I dont even know what in the world that is?) But when I got home I took my vicodin but it isnt helping anything!
I’m still in very bad pain! It hurts bad!!!! And when I pee it is bloody because while I was there they put a tube into my vagina and put water into it,and I started bleeding, (is it possibel they broke my hymen? cuz it hurts like heck still and its out and I bled a lot)

so the point is, does anyone have any idea what I should do for pain because it feels as bad as when I went in. the meds arent working.

and do you think when they put the tube in me, is it possible they broke my hymen?
I was also wondering if you think that I just maybe took another half of a pill it would work better?

I was diagnosed with a 2 inch (4.2 cm) ovarian cyst on my right side 2 weeks ago. It’s still causing large bouts of pain every 2 hours or so, and the prescribed pill isn’t working for pain. It’s been getting worse, and I’ve missed 5 days of school due to this.
My mom’s afraid that the cyst is growing larger or twisting, so she got me another doctor appointment for tomorrow morning.
I’m afraid, because I’ve been looking up information about ovarian cysts and tumors, that it might be twisting my ovary, or possibly growing larger.
My family has a history of ovarian cysts and tumors, and even cancer, and I was wondering how I could tell if it’s twisting or growing larger just by the way the pain will feel.

What does it feel like when it’s twisting or about to rupture, and how will I know if I have to go to the ER?

I was diagnosed with a 4.2 cm wide ovarian cyst about 3 weeks ago. They didn’t give me any pain relievers until a couple days later, which was Tylenol with Codeine to also help me sleep a little.
2 weeks later, it’s still causing major pain. I’ve missed 9 days of school because of it. We went back to the doctor and he said he would refer me to an OBGYN.
I’m only 14, and this is my first cyst. My mom and grandmother have had a series of cysts and tumors. My mom has endometriosis too. We basically have a lot of heredity with this.
What are the chances that this cyst will have to be removed surgically, and what are the chances that my OBGYN will do a pelvic exam tomorrow?

Plus, I’m a virgin, so will that, along with the pain of the cyst, make this experience [pelvic exam] painful and severely uncomfortable?
At first, they thought it was appendicitis, but my appendix is fine, so they outruled that with a CT Scan with injection and barium. That’s how they found the cyst.

the nurse practitioner put me on metformin 500 because my insulin level was high, not low and I’ve had irregular periods since I was 11. but it didn’t regulate it and my insulin had lowered a great amount.

So my mom asked the nurse to get me tested. they did an ultra sound to see if there were cyst or anything, both inside and out. they called a few days later and told me I had polycystic ovarian syndrome. ones busted/ruptured or something ,I have cyst, and I have fluid all around on the lining. something like that. my mom was in a hurry and didn’t tell me where I could understand. Anyways, the nurse wants to put me on birth control, but isn’t that used for the same reason metformin is? and is one of the side effects for metformin weight gain? because my weight is always constantly up and down,. out of nowhere I’ll lose 10 pounds and then gain 13 back.

I’ll still be able to have children, right? it’ll just be harder for me to conceive? or is there more to it? are they just going to leave my ruptured ovary?

So, several months ago i went to the doctor and got diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. It hasn’t gone away and the amount of symptoms has increased alot. I went on birth control but it isn’t helping. i have the following symptoms:

pressure, fullness, or pain in the abdomen
dull ache in the lower back and thighs
problems passing urine completely
weight gain
painful menstrual periods and abnormal bleeding
nausea or vomiting
breast tenderness

and then it said
If you have these symptoms, get help right away:

pain with fever and vomiting
sudden, severe abdominal pain
faintness, dizziness, or weakness
rapid breathing

and i have everything but the rapid breathing. my problem is that my mom won’t let me go anywhere to get this checked out to see what i should do. so do you think maybe going to the school nurse would help me to get this checked out further? also, any advice on what i should do? (i’m in 9th grade)

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?

My mom has been waking up around 3 in the morning with stabbing pains in the left side of her chest- this morning the pain was so great that she called her sister to take her to the ER. She was there for around 5 hours, they did some blood work, a CAT scan, an ultrasound, and another CAT scan with contrast to check out some abnormalities in her liver. Her liver was fine, her blood work came back fine, ultrasound showed some ovarian cysts that they didn’t think were anything to worry about, and they noted some gallstones. They discharged her with a prescription of hydro codeine and told her to go on a low fat diet. They told her it might be a gallstone that is intermittently blocking a duct, causing her pain. They told her that if it happened again she might need to have her gallbladder removed. Anyone have any other ideas? Im not so sure its her gallbladder especially cause her pain is on the left and they say the pain should be on the right if its her gallbladder.
Her pain doesnt get worse from breathing- although, when the doctor was checking her out when he pressed on the right side of her chest the pain got worse on the left same when he pressed on her left side.
