1425128 tn?1282756875 so all my life i have had problems with stomach pain and digestive pain, i thought i was lactose intolerant so i stoped eating and drinking lactose, but it did not help, the doctors think it is my ovarian cysts that is causing the pain but it is much higher just below my belly button, on my left side, it is extremely painful, also my back on my left side is very tender. i have had cat scans and ultra sounds but they just see my cysts, i had a colonoscapy a few yrs ago and that was normal.
906877 tn?1335122417 I am due to have cysts removed on tues next week, i read alot of people on here talk about IBS type symptoms being linked with this, is this right?? Can ovarian cysts cause stomach aches etc because if they do then it would explain alot!!!!!! Many thanks, Claire.
Avatar m tn I had an ultrasound done that showed two ovarian cysts in my left ovary and right ovary appeared fine. Since then, my pain has been in right side near ovary, left side near ovary and sometimes even in my rib cage on my right side. I've had three times where I can't take a deep breath without feeling stabbing side ache in rib cage.
Avatar f tn Did you ever get a resolution to your cyst? I was just diagnosed with dang near same situation as you. My stomach has been horrible and I like you feel sorry for my kids as my temper has been short and I just feel on edge constantly. My doctor has a "wait and watch" approach to my cysts and she seems to question whether upset stomach is coming from cycsts.
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 n tn For the past 2 years I have had digestive problems- the usual heartburn, diarrhea, abdominal pains, bloating, gas. I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux Disease after visiting my gastroenterologist and having an endoscopy done. Two years later, the problems have persisted and gotten worse, this time with pain in my upper right side and upper back area(gallbladder area). I was diagnosed with having gallstones and had my gallbladder removed a week ago.
Avatar n tn Women can get from time to time ovarian cysts. Usually they are simple cysts and not dangerous. I have had one myself. And they pass on their own. While you have them, you can have irregular bleeding, pain, hormonal changes. Then when they pass, it is painful. You often also have heavy bleeding. It is like a super magnified bad period with cramps and bleeding. Then you pretty much go back to normal after. I had one 15 years ago and do not think I've had any others since.
Avatar f tn Get a little more information, there are lots of us who have had (or even still have) ovarian cysts... (And good luck, with whatever it actually ends up being!
Avatar f tn I went to the doctor for a check up she sent ne to do a pelvic ultrasound today i got back the result it says i have 1.1 x 1.5 cm cyst in my upper vagina and a 1.3 cm simple right ovarian cyst and no free fluid in the cul-de-sac. Please explain to me what this means cause i'm very very worried, what may be causing the excessive gas i am very scared.
1577584 tn?1296185081 I dont have a UTI or nothing like that and I dont have digestive problems so this pain is being caused by the cyst.
Avatar f tn Ovarian cysts can cause a lot of different problems. It can cause upset stomach. I know how hard it is to wait. It seems like the day will never get here, but it will be here before you know it. Good luck and please keep us posted.

356929 tn?1246389756 It does seem suspicious that so many of you on this board have issues with both however I wonder if the relationship is simply coincicental. Hypothyroidism and ovarian cysts are both extremely common medical problems that tend to develop around the same age so the relationship may not be explained by a simple cause and effect model.
Avatar f tn These anatomical / skeletal changes cause chronic back, hip, and rib cage problems and pain. Bladder and bowel function can also be affected since they are separated and held in place by the uterus. My bowels have been "messed up" since surgery. Has your endometriosis diagnosis been confirmed with exploratory surgery and biopsy? Have you had (or considered having) the endo excised by an endometriosis specialist?
256161 tn?1196879046 Has anyone here with Lymes had problems with ovarian cyts and lymes or had to take flagyl for them? I still have not seen a lyme specialist again due to the money issue. i will get to see one when my tax return comes back, but I have to suck it up till then. I am in so much pain and having some sort of relapse of symptoms. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this for me. Thanks again!
672990 tn?1235143638 how many of you who had thyroid problems while dealing with the cysts have had the cysts removed and are still dealing with the thyroid problems? And how many of you had your thyroid levels even out after the cysts were removed? For those of you who had the thyroid balance out after surgery...are you still having to stay on medication for the thyroid or are you completely back to normal?
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!
Avatar f tn he did ultrasound and said u have small ovarian cyst. He was very busy to give my answers just gave me a card to go and visit TDDC some Texas digestive consultant ( gastroentrologist). He thinks colon problem. I do have a history of endometriosis and hemorhhagic cyst. My question is can you get ovarian cyst while you are breastfeeding and ha my cycles are not yet back. I am having severe back pain , legs pain ,nausea on and off, fatigue and bloated.
Avatar f tn Mostly they are symptomless But Ovarian cysts can, however, cause problems if they twist, bleed, or rupture. Most ovarian cysts will go away on their own. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Avatar f tn Your lack of period for that length of time is warning sign that needs attention. Insulin resistance, ovarian cysts and all the symptoms you described can go along with PCOS. I hope you find answers soon!
Avatar f tn I had a CT Scan for these problems and it showed a cystic mass on my ovary so I had to go to my Gyn and had a Pelvic Sonogram. I have read that sometimes Ovarian Cancer can have the same symptoms as these other problems. Is that true? Also, what is your interpertation of the following results from my ultrasound. Status: Post Hysterctomy & Left Oophorectomy (this was done in 2006 for problems with very heavy bleeding and cysts on my left ovary) Right ovary measures 5 by 8.
