Heartburn and ovarian cysts

Common Questions and Answers about Heartburn and ovarian cysts

heartburn

Avatar n tn Ovarian cysts can cause bladder and bowel problems. In my case it was due to the size of the ovarian cyst and the pressure it was placing on other organs. In my daughter's case, the abdominal pain with the ovarian cyst was severe and caused nausea. By the time we discovered that an ovarian cyst was causing the pain, she had become constipated, which added to her irregularity and discomfort. Like MarieMichele, before my ovarian cyst was removed, I had to eat very small amounts.
Avatar f tn Do ovarian cyst symptoms and ovarian cancer symptoms look the same? I ask because I have the following: -gas -bloat/distended stomach -pressure -changes in BM's (constipation and diarrhea) -get full easily after eating -tired/fatigues -heartburn/indigestion -changes in menstruation Thank you.
Avatar f tn Abnormal bleeding can be due to various other reasons like endometrial hyperplasia, ovarian cysts, hormonal imbalance, PCOS etc. Check up with a gynaecologist and an ultrasound scan will help make matters clear. Take care and good luck.
Avatar n tn Keep going to Dr's until you find answers........... I knew something was wrong but the Dr kept sending me to GI docs saying I had IBS. I never felt right and then I finally got answers. I had severe Endo and ovarian cysts. Endo can cause most all of your symptoms. I don't have any experience w/hair loss. I hope you feel better, I understand how frustrating it is!
579959 tn?1218310678 I would call my gyn and bring the report. I don't want to scare you but I think you should also get a referral to a gyn/onc. I would do this sooner than later. I'm no expert on cysts or masses....and I know that having a cyst can cause alot of your symptoms..but I just wouldn't risk it. Follow up and be forceful. The pain you are describing is not normal..as a matter of fact..pain is never normal!!!
Avatar f tn If the pelvic ultrasound was not transvaginal you might want to request one to see if you have ovarian cysts. They can cause the symptoms you are experiencing. I was diagnosed with IBS for 18 months but it turned out my problems were being caused by cysts on my ovary. Once the cysts were removed and I had recovered from my surgeries the symptoms went away. Good luck.
Avatar f tn nauseated off and on, turned off by food at times, heartburn, lower back and hip pain, clear odorless discharge...but four different negative pregnancy tests. I went to my Gyno and she was at a loss but scheduled me for an ultrasound. I went into my US swearing they were going to tell me I was pregnant and the tests just weren't reading my hcg levels. She told me nothing but that my dr will go over it with me at the end of next week. In the meantime I'm going nuts not knowing.
Avatar n tn they are guessing that the pain and fluid suggests a cyst burst. Ovarian Cysts are very common and often do come and go and even burst depending on your menstrual cycle. Try really hard not to worry....as far as I know, in order to have OvCa you have to have tumors and masses, most likely was not seen in your reports....see a GYN and take it from there. Good luck.
Avatar f tn t know if this is a new and bigger cysts or the old cysts has gotten bigger. And as far as the possible tumor, while I was getting the last ultrasound done the radiologist was describing everything to me as she found it, however the gyn tells me that my left side is clearing up when I damn well know from seeing it myself that it wasn't the case.
1550253 tn?1359048669 My stomach is constantly crampy and makes sounds, I am either constipated or I have diarrhea (sometimes both within the same day), I am bloated, gassy, I have heartburn and acid reflux as well. My husband has IBS and all of my symptoms seem to point to that right now...but... I also started having strange symptoms at around the same time my stomach issues started. I have pain in my hip/leg joints, as well as pain in my lower back.
2015757 tn?1409172476 not sure if it even matters but i have a history of frequent kidney stones, my mom had ovarian cysts and my dad had his appendix removed. Id like to have some suggestions befor i end up checking into the emergency room. thank you for your help.
Avatar m tn hi- I have done some research on pcos and ovarian cyst and how they can mimic regnancy symptoms like headaches, bloating, sore/swollen breasts, cramps, back ache...that's what i found via google lol but only those symptoms.. what about discharge (yeallow/creamy white), veins prominent on stomach and chest (i know i'm not making this one up cos i wasn't looking for it..i just took my top off one day and i went holy ****! i'm a road map!
503418 tn?1231098736 This can also be ovarian cysts.
Avatar f tn Most cyst are benign. With the size, I assume they are suggesting surgery? Have you had a CA125 test? We always suggest to have a gyn/oncologist review your case, and if surgery is done, that this type of doctor perform this. Best wishes to you.
600910 tn?1219728369 It is very normal for cysts to form on your ovaries at different times in your cycle and sometimes those cysts burst causing a lot of pain. As far as I know, there must be tumors of some sort in order to have OvCa...if there was a cyst in the CT Scan and gone in the sono that the cyst burst or went away. If the pain continues, track the times of the month that it happens and discuss it with a gyn. Best of luck to you and for more information on cysts, you might want to go to the cyst forum.
Avatar f tn my sister had major problems with her IUD and they all went away after she removed it
Avatar n tn Hello, I am hoping that someone has had some experience with ovarian cysts and the use of birth control (nuva ring) to prevent ovulation. My doctor started me on the nuva ring in hopes that it would help with the pain from bilateral ovarian simple cysts that measure 5cm and 4.2 cm. If anyone has experience with this type of treatment please respond to the following questions. Does birth control help with the pain from ovarian cysts? Does using birth control help ressolve the existing cysts?
Avatar f tn Ovarian cysts can be benign or malignant but the majority (over 90%) are benign. A lot depends on your age and what type of cyst it is - functional, dermoid, etc. Your doctor hopefully will let you know if there is anything to be concerned about. You can google "ovarian cysts" to get more information so you know what questions to ask at your appointment. Please let us know how it goes.
Avatar n tn What is the difference between ovarian cysts and ovarian cancer. I haven't had a period for 3 months now and I have a sharp pain in my lower right side, as well as back pain, especially in the mornings. once in a while i am off balance when walking. i am bloated, and a lot of times i don't have an appetite.
Avatar n tn Also be mindful of your diet, there is a link between insulin resistance and ovarian cysts. It is best to stay away from processed white flour products like bread and pasta, and the worst culprit is of course sugar.
Avatar f tn I suppose a high creatinine level could indirectly be related to ovarian cysts as ovarian cysts can aggravate hydronephrosis, which in turn elevated creatinine levels.
Avatar f tn Ovarian cysts are very common and affect mainly women in their 30s and 40s. Women who are past menopause (ages 50-70) and have ovarian cysts have a higher risk of having ovarian cancer. The only way to diagnose ovarian cancer is looking at the cells under a microscope. There are tumour markers the doctors can test for called CA-125 and CA19-9 (both are blood tests) however numbers can be higher due to inflammation.
Avatar f tn 98% of ovarian cysts are non cancerous. It is rare to have cancerous cysts on both ovaries. If you do not have the BRCA mutation you have a 1.4% of ovarian cancer in a lifetime. You doctor is who you need to talk to. Write down questions to ask.
1408770 tn?1283213203 Cysts CAN actually stop periods completely, and some of ur symptoms can be caused by having cysts. However, ALL ur sypmtoms r related to pregnancy! I would say u were pregnant! But Im not a doctor, just a mum of 2 who has ovarian cysts! If u want a more informed decision I suggest posting ur question on the "PCOS - polycystic ovarian syndrome" there r lots of women who have had cysts for a lot longer than me and they give great advice.
Avatar f tn Do ovarian cysts cause extreme fatigue? I have for cysts. One of them is a complex cyst measuring 4cm. I have had them for at least a year and being treated with birth control. I get abdominal pain, back pain, pain on my thighs, bloating and nausea. However, what really affects my daily life is the fatigue. I am always very tired, I feel like everything aches and just want to sleep. I work but lack the energy to go through an entire day without feeling I need to sleep!
Avatar n tn Such kind of pain can be due to infections of the urethra, bladder, or kidneys (urinary tract infections) ,Sexually transmitted infections of the genitourinary tract,pelvic inflammatory disease in females,fibroids,ovarian cysts,ectopic pregnancy or endometriosis in females,interstitial cystitis of the urinary bladder,irritable bowel syndrome or prostatitis in males.
