Common Questions and Answers about Ovarian cysts and constipation
ovarian-cysts
Hello,
Your abdominal symptoms of constipation and rectal bleeding are related to each other but are unrelated to ovarian cysts. A complex ovarian cyst is less common than simple ovarian cyst. At such a young age it can eb dermoid cyst which is a type of complex ovarian cyst and is the most common type and develops during the childbearing age. Complex ovarian cysts are generally benign. The risk of malignancy is generally higher among postmenopausal women.
have pain in belly button which just began today. However for past 6 months have had severe abdominal pain, chronic constipation, swelling, 13 day periods, painful intercourse, vaginal dryness, fatigue, acid reflux like symptoms, pain in various area of back pelvis and abdomen, fainting,etc. Have had CT scans which said chronic ovarian cysts, ultrasounds and blood tests say "fine" but still hurts. Whats wrong?
i went to the doctor and he said that the lumpy mass was because of constipation, and it keeps coming and going. but i was feeling down lower on my left side and i felt a small lump at which i think it was by my ovary. i honestly dont know, but i am very scared cuz i dont wanna die. also ive been expierencing back pain, and consipation which were symptoms of ovarian cancer. or it could be a cyst? my aunt had cysts and they burst when she was around my age.
I also have periods of constipation and diaheria and lots of gas and burping. Things seem to settle down until the next attack which can last for a couple of days. In the past I had a scope done to check my stomach for acid reflux but that wasn't the problem. It is and continues to be focused below my navel but I can have pains that circle around to my lower back. At times, I also have aching pressure on my rectum perhaps due to the constipation.
If you are 40-50, then perimenopause is a possible cause. But, ovarian cysts at any age can change your hormones and cause these types of symptoms. Unfortunately, no two ovarian cysts show themselves in the same way. So, it is hard to say without having tests to rule out all other causes. In general the list of symptoms you describe sound like they could be related to menopause. But, if you are under 45, then that is less likely.
I have larger cysts about the size of a large grapefruit apparently. I have recently had a vaginal ultrasound and only one cross hatch on the cyst so they don't think it is cancerous. I have, however, recently been having very bad back pain and weight gain. My doctor said that the cysts are not the cause of this but these posts indicate that the cysts may cause these symptoms. Should I get the cysts out and if so, the ovaries too? I am 49 and can't have kids.
my levels have been stable for over 6 months. I went to the dr. today and they feel that I have pulled a muscle or have constipation. I have had so so bowel movements, but I get no relief of pressure in that area when I do. I'm concerned it may be an ovarian cyst...I had a pap smear within the last year that came back good, but I can't imagine that a pulled muscle would feel like constipation. Anyone experiencing this? Please help!
t changed a thing about my diet or exercise regime, I have irregular periods, I am constantly bloated and look about 5 months pregnant, my breasts feel a lot bigger and quite tender, and I get a lot of constipation and sometimes diarrhoea and I know for sure I'm not pregnant! Does this sound like an ovarian cyst to you guys? Thanks!
Hi, I have ovarian cysts and I totally understand what you are going through. I have the diarrhea thing and it is disgusting. Sorry for being so directly honest. But I am in agony for several days during my period. My symptoms are upset stomach, bloating (feel like air is trapped in my stomach) pelvic pain, and nausea.. The nausea is so bad, especially when I am doing the diarrhea. Sometimes it looks like popcorn floating in the toilet....
it got really bad and went to the doctors early in the morning,he gave me pain reliever and diagnozed me with an ovarian cyst. ovarian cyst run in my family and usually ended up cancerous. Is it possible for my cyst to be cancerous?and can you still have sex when you have a cyst? or how long should i wait. and will it harm my partner?
I have been dealing with Ovarian Cysts of and on for the past 5 years. They topically just come and go never have I been in pain from them and the never got any bigger than a centimeter. I just had an ultra sound that showed a large black mass attached to my right ovary. I have an IUD in place and for the past month I have had abdominal pain ranging from sever to managable. I also have bouts of nausea and constipation.
t know what effects Novasure (or any other type of endometrial ablation) can have on ovarian cysts. But ablation is associated with long-term problems especially when done on women under age 46. I recall a woman saying that a doctor at a top-notch hospital told her that ablation should not be done on women under age 50 because of the long-term problems.
The ovaries, uterus and tubes work as a unit.
In January of 2009, i had emergency surgery for an ovarian cysts on my right ovary. Apparently the cyst was 5 inches and twisted around my ovary. After the surgery, i had no pain up until June of that year. I had many ultrasounds done that confirmed i had small cysts. In April of 2010, i had laproscopic surgery to have a look to see what was going on. The doctor told me after that my ovary had dropped down due to a cyst and that my right tube was blocked.
Yes. Sorry. Are they planning a follow up exam for you? Adding fiber to your diet will help. Avoid laxatives!
What are the symptoms of ovarian cysts and tumors?
Often, ovarian cysts don't cause any symptoms. You may not realize you have one until you visit your health care provider for a routine pelvic exam. Ovarian cysts can, however, cause problems if they twist, bleed, or rupture.
If you have any of the symptoms below, it's important to have them checked out. That's because they can also be symptoms of ovarian tumors. Ovarian cancer often spreads before it is detected.
First off 98% of all ovarian cysts are benign. Most women with Ovarian Cancer, not all, are genetically predisposed with the BRCA mutation. I have BRCA. I had a grandmother and a aunt with ovarian cancer in their 50's. Ovarian cysts look a certain way on a ultrasound. At your age with no BRCA you have less than 1% of ovarian cancer. What is your doctor telling you? They saw my ultra sound and I was at the oncologist the next day. Many cysts go away on their own. Are you having symptoms.
Constipation is a big player--often people are give pain killers and those make the constipation worse which makes the pain worse, and a vicious cycle ensues.
One way to know if this is what is happening in your case is if your symptoms were relieved by the prep for the colonoscopy. The prep would have cleaned you out, and the symptoms should have cleared too.
The OTHER thing that causes pain in that area is the ovaries. Cysts can form and rupture, Or the ovaries can twist.
