I have at least one ovarian cyst. It’s on my right ovary and it used to be over 5 cms but I feel like it’s only gotten bigger.. But I just went in for another ultrasound a few days ago and I think I saw another cyst on my left ovary but they couldn’t tell me because I have to wait until my appt on friday. But this past week I’ve been have pain on each side. Like on my ovaries.. And I usually have pain on my right one that is like a cramping pain.. But now it’s like it’s being pushed on pain.. Like I have to go to the bathroom a lot because it hurts on my right lower abdomen if my bladder gets at all full.. Is this because my cyst is way bigger now?
Also. It doesn’t just hurt if my bladder is full. It hurts when I walk. Like I can feel something weird being pushed on..

Hello, I believe that I have ovarian cysts. I went to a doc a few years ago and he thought that is what it was and said if the pain doesn’t go away, come back. It went away. Usually the day before my cycle and the first day, I get a bad pain, about the size of a golf ball, right where my ovaries are. Usually it is on my left side, but sometimes on both.

My question is this..my period ended a few weeks ago. However, today, I started having pain on my left side, about the size of a golf ball, right where my ovary is. The pain is not as intense as it is the day before or the day of, but close.

could this be related to cysts and if so, why am I getting pain when it is not time for my period?

please help. serious answers only. thanks thank you for your help so far. but has anyone with cysts had pain other than right around your period. can you have pain a few weeks before you start?

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?

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’m 29 and was diagnosed with a 4cm complex ovarian cyst (my first one) on my rt ovary about 2 weeks ago. My dr is running blood tests to make sure it’s not cancerous (which i’m totally freaked out over). she also told me that it’s filled with blood and some solid matter (not sure what that is)

they are waiting 5 more weeks to do an ultrasound again to see if it shrinks-if not, they are going to take it out. I’m not sure I can wait that long-i’m miserable!!

I know that pain in my side is normal along with some breast tenderness but I’m currently experiencing severe lower back pain that radiates to both sides of my back along with a pulling sensation and cramping in my rt inner thigh. is this normal?

also-anytime i try to eat or drink anything-i get really nauseated (it’s really bad). I haven’t had much of an appetite either. is this normal too?

any insight would be greatly appreciated!!

Got my appointment with some gyno specialist tomoro about some concerns with my ovaries (frightening talk!) Keep getting Pretty Large cysts on both my left and right ovary, abdominal pain, irregular and missed periods and weight gain (that sucks), Doctors trying to find the cause/treatment, got me on edge a little bit. Im almost engaged, wanting to start a family of my own (hes already got a couple troublemakers lol) kids are my life, ive worked with them and always wanted them. My mother couldnt have me and mirically concieved me through IVF (Invitro Fertilisation) (Test Tube Baby) only a couple years after the first ever test tube baby was born in 1986, im a miracle child! Ive been having nightmares ever since i had these things diagnosed by a doctor as ovarian cysts, although a common thing, mine are supposedly a large size and reccuring and bring a lot of pain with em every month, the words of a doctor haunting me in my sleep (we may birth control if youre lucky, if not simple surgery and worst case take out one of your ovaries), i havent slept in a couple days, just nervous. Me and my man have a long distance relationship; only while i finish my studies (i move back up in a few months) and im seeing him in 10 days but im just a little uptight, and I know the people on Yahoo answers can always give me a reassuring word of advice or a story lol fingers crossed!

I’m 28 years old I do not take birth control. I’ve had in the past 2 d&c, uterus ablation, and my tubes tied. I just had an ultrasound to see if the cyst on my left ovary has gotten any bigger. My question is I have pain on my left side in the pelvic area. Also pain in my lower back. And it also hurts during sex. It even hurt during the ultrasound. So I’m just wondering what are the symptoms to an ovarian cyst. Now I’m just waiting on the results to the ultrasound. I do not have a period anymore the only time I had blood was when I wiped myself a week ago. But I’ve been in a lot of pain for 2 weeks

I have PCOS, and for the first time EVER I got a positive opk the day before yesterday. Yesterday I felt crampy nothing big. Tonight I have pain in my right ovary like it’s being poked by needles. I just recently came off the pill because they were not helping my ovarian cysts. My questilon is…could this be a legit ovulation that is causing pain, or is it the stupid ovarian cyst. I don’t want to get my hopes up if it’s a sham. Please help me! Thank you

I found out i had and ova cyst on my right ovary. I haven’t felt much pain from it. Even when I came on my period I never felt any pain (which is odd because my periods without cyst are usually painful).

But today I keep feeling these odd pains in my lower right abdominal and this really sharp pain (that I get when sitting down or moving) I get in the left lower area of my back. this pain in my back is what concerns me because I don’t remember this kind of pain with my last cyst and it feels like someone keeps cutting my back with a knife.

What shall I do?

i have an ovarian cyst, that is 4cm long. and it is over my ovary. my Gyn put me on a birth control pill at the beginning of this week. but yesterday i got my period. it is at the up most untolerable! the pain seems lke it will not go away at any cost. ive done everything i can to make the pain go away. things that normally work. but this time isnt. ive taken midol, avil, warm bath, heating pad, layed down,drunk a lot of water, everything seems lke. any way i can get rid of this horrilbe period pain?

I have not went back in for my follow up ultrasound but I am worried that they will find something really wrong because of the pain that I am still in. The cyst was 5 centimeters when it ruptured and the doctors say that the fluid left behind would cause some discomfort until it all got absorbed, but I am afraid that this pain is indicative of something else. Any ideas on how long it takes to recover from this or if it might be something else?
The pain is all of the way across my lower abdomen and it comes and goes but it sometimes severe. The ovary that had the cyst was the right ovary. Tylenol does not work and Ibopfren only works slightly.

i went to my college’s ER and just found out I have 2 cysts on my right ovary, both about 2 cm long. they only told me i had cysts and to see a doctor on campus. they said it probably doesn’t need to be removed, but i’ve been having constant, aching pelvic pain for the past couple of days. will this pain always be here if i don’t have them removed? is it possible these cysts will just go away on their own?

I had an ovarian cyst on my right ovary to rupture yesterday. The pain was so debilitating and excruciating that I was rushed to the ER for fear of appendicitis. After a CT scan, they saw that I had a lot of fluid around my pelvis and still had a cyst of about 3.1 cm (which means it burst, but it has still not fully ruptured). While I am not in the excruciating pain I was yesterday, I am still in pain. How long does the pain of a ruptured ovarian cyst typically last?

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/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. 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? are they just going to leave my ruptured ovary?

I think I may have insulin resistance or some kind of metabolic problem. Here are my symptoms:

I can gain weight rapidly eating a normal amount of calories (2,000 or lower) even though I exercise EVERYDAY! I can gain 10 pounds in a week if I’m not extremely careful.. Its very hard for me to lose weight, in order to lose I usually have to eat the amount of calories an anorexic would (800 and below) but then I gain it all back when I eat normally. I have an extremely hard time maintaining my weight.

I have a history of ovarian cysts. I was thinking maybe I have Polycystic ovary syndrome. I had my thyroid checked and it was normal. I am not a sedentary person either.

I have been this way since I was 14. I am 18 now.

Purging is usually the only way I can fight immediate weight gain. If I eat even a little more than I should I can gain up to 3 POUNDS overnight. I am not kidding. I cant purge anymore though, I need to stop.

Does anyone else on here have this problem? What do you think is wrong with me and how do you keep the weight off if you do have this problem? Are their treatments/medications for this?
