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..

Is it normal to have severe cramping with an ovarian cyst?Im also having a menstral cycle every other week or so.Ive seen a doctor,he put me on vicodin for pain but its not helping much.I had an ultrasound last tuesday and it showed the cyst.My doctor thought that my cramps were due to endometriosis im not sure how to deal with the pain.I just want to know if its normal to have severe cramping?
the doctor put me on yasmin (birth control pills) but theres no effect yet.

I am concerned about this severe left side lower back and abdominal pain I keep experiencing. It comes every couple of weeks and lasts around 12 hours. It is agony. I am doubled up rolling on the floor and it feels like I am having one long continuous contraction. I had my third baby 5 months ago with just gas and air so I know what pain feels like!! I went to the hospital but they gave my a painkilling injection and told me to see my GP. I went to my GP who referred me back to the hospital for an ultrasound but I have been told I could be waiting weeks for that. When the pain eases I am left feeling battered and bruised internally and my lower abdomen is very tender to the touch. Could this be cysts?

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!!

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 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 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.

Im gonna try to make this short, simple and to the point… bare with me please

Im pregnant, I went to the ER last night because I was having really sharp pain in my right side. I haven’t gotten an ultrasound yet. They did a pelvic exam and blood work. They came to the conclusion that I probably have an ovarian cyst. Could the cramping from the uterus expanding and growing, and the ligament pain, feel more intense since I also could possibly have an ovarian cyst?

Im sure someone else out there has been through something similar, please share your story or thoughts.

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?

I’m 17 years of age and have had my perdiod since I was 11.
I’ve NEVER had it regular. It has always been 2-3 months late, never on time.

For years now I’ve always had the tenancy to use the restroom ALOT especially when going out with friends or long drives and when I get nervous.

I checked the symptoms and I have ALOT of them, especially the past 2 weeks [my period hasnt came since October.]

pressure, swelling, or pain in the abdomen
[I was freaked that it was appendicitis, but I've had these symptoms and went to the hospital and they said nothing was wrong and my appendix was perfectly fine.]

pelvic pain
[I feel little pains every so often by my ovaries]

dull ache in the lower back and thighs
[I actually just woke up with this and had some of it last night. I thought it was cause I sleep late]

problems passing urine completely
[not often, but sometimes]

pain during sex
[im not active]

weight gain
[I have gained a bit, my im still underwieght for my age]

pain during your period
[ALOT! Especially cramps omg!!]

abnormal bleeding
[no]

nausea or vomiting
[lots of nausea. I thought it was cause I slept late alot]

breast tenderness
[maybe cause my period is coming?]

you can say it’s cause my period is coming, but this ALWAYS happens. Im going to see a doctor soon, but everytime I do, he says nothing is wrong. They did an ultrasound on me a couple months ago and I heard them say they found something but arn’t sure what it was but knew it wasnt dangerous cause it was small, they said it was proably harden stool….could it be a cyst? and could that be the reason why I pee alot? lol [you have NO idea how sick I am of that =( we're going snowboarding in Feb with friends, but I don't want to go cause of the "pee" problem =( ] help! I;m SOOO tired of this!!

Is there anything organic I can try?

I had an ultrasound done about a month ago to determine the cause of my pelvic pain. They found a cyst that is 5×6cms, and I have another ultrasound in 2 weeks to see if it has reduced in size or gotten bigger. I am due to get my period tomorrow, and am having severe, sharp pains in my pelvis. I know ovarian cysts can cause pain, but is it normal to have sharp pain very low in the pelvic area? It feels like it is almost right inside my vagina, not near the ovaries. This isn’t the first time I’ve gotten this pain; every few months I get it at the start of my period, but last month, the pain continued for a long time, so that is why I went to the doctor about it. So really my question is whether this pain is because of the cyst, or is it likely to be being caused by something else? Thanks.

3 weeks ago I went for a ultrasound that found a 4cm cyst on my right ovary. At the time I wasnt in much pain at all.. but for the past week I have been in excruciating pain in my lower back and pelvic area. It felt like back cramps that I usually get the day I start my period but way worse and for 10 days instead of one! Today I got my period and it is VERY heavy with a lot of blood clots. This is very unusual for me I never have clotting or a heavy flow. Also, the crazy thing is that this morning I was still in horrible pain but when my period came this afternoon, all of my pain pretty much subsided besides for some slight pain where my ovary is with the cyst. Is this normal with a cyst to have horrible pain before your period starts and then it subsides? Should I expect this pain to return when my period ends?
Now that the pain has subsided quite a lot does that mean my cyst is dissolving?
We think I have had the cyst for a few months now and it is a complicated cyst but I have never had this horrible pain that I had for the past two weeks and now its subsiding so that is why I am wondering if it is dissolving or not..
The pain I have been having was worse in my lower back than my pelvic area if that makes any difference..?
Is it safe for me to wait until next wednesday to see my gyno ?

I went to my OB/GYN because of horrible stabbing pains near my left ovary. He did an ultrasound and found a 3cm cyst on my right ovary. Now he wants me to go to a stomach specialist to see if anything else like IBS is causing the pain on my left side before doing surgery. Could IBS be causing this pain or the cyst even if it’s on the right ovary. I thought IBS felt like horrible gas pains. Not stabbing pains in one spot.

Also, can anyone tell me about the surgery to remove ovarian cysts? Was it painful? How long were you in the hospital?
I’ve also been bleeding since the pain started. I’m not sure if that’s from my IUD that I got in or the cyst.

Can ovarian cancer cause swelling, pain and pressure on the vagina and rectum to where you can sit in a chair straight.
Pain that runs down left inner thigh, lower back pain, pain in sides, and pelvic pain. Also, I have been gaining weight since January.

I have masses and ovarian cysts. One of these measure 9.7 hounsfield units. What is that? The doctor did a CA-125 test, ct scan, colonoscopy, and ultrasound inner and outer. I go back on Monday, and I can’t sleep.

I had a partial hysterectomy in 2002.
Also, My aunt was diagnosed in 2003 and died in 2004. She gained weight also. She weighed 400lbs and had gained weight when she died. She had a cyst the size of a mellon that busted during exploratory surgery. So, I am scared right now.

I’ve had a cyst in my right ovary, I’ve never had it treated. I discovered I had this cyst when I lost a baby last year; miscarriage. I found out I was preg this year b/c of the sharp pain in that same area; I’m 2 months pregnant and the doctor has seen the cyst; she’s not concerned; however, I’m having sharp pains in that area; should I be concerned? I don’t see her again until 3 weeks from now.
I never had it treated b/c I fell into a deep depression after I lost the baby last year.
Yes ma’am; there was a fear that it was an ectopic pregnancy early on b/c of the pain, and I’ve had an ultrasound since and the gestation sac did drop and all is well, but that pain persists.
