ovarian-cysts

Hi, all. I'm 21 y/o (22 in May), & I was diagnosed with a 4.5cm hemorrhagic cyst on my left ovary. For months I have felt awful. My upper abdomen hurts daily (more upper than lower, it's distended & hurts along my rib cage), I am nauseous a lot of the time, & I feel worse after I eat. Occasionally, I get pain in my pelvic region, but not nearly as often as my upper abdomen. In Nov.

CT scan showed an ovarian cyst (about 3.8 cm) in July 2008. Repeat CT in March 2008 showed a small growth but CA 125 went from 11 to 177 over same period. (Has gall stones but nuclear scan ruled out gallbladder) Heart disease and age (87) preclude surgery. Tried to do a needle biopsy of cyst and failed. Now has pain in lower right quadrant where bioposy was done (8 days ago)??? Largest problem is servere abdominal distention upon eating almost anything.

My liver and gallbladder are fine, but I have a cyst on my left ovary. It measures 32mm across and 29 laterally. Im just wondering if this is common for someone after giving birth?

Thank you for answering my question in regards to ovarian cysts. The ultra sound did show that it was fluid filled, and didn't appear to have solid matter. Also, there were no veins feeding into it. The doctor explained it as looking like a bunch of grapes. I went through menopause many years ago, and had my tubes tied at 40. I had been on birthcontrol pills prior to having a tubal. How would they remove a cyst that is 24 cm?

I am worried that the cysts might be getting bigger, or there is something else wrong like appendix, gallbladder,etc. Any incite would be greatly appreciated.

I had an ovarian cyst discovered about 3 months ago. They did an ultrasound and a transvaginal ultrasound and the results came out "negative". My question is, I am still having pain in that area and it hurts when I press down on it. I am back on BC to see if it decreases, but I was just wondering if I should be concerned about the pain I am still having.

My reasons for being on this forum is the dx of ovarian cysts, fibroids, and adenomyosis and all the pain and symptoms that go with all of that. I am very concerned for cancer as there is alot of family history. In mid-December they thought I had kidney stones but turned out to be cysts; that's how painful they were. Howevver, the cyst pain has subsided a little and I'm guessing they dissolved.

Could pain from what I think could be an ovarian cyst hurt where my gallbladder is? When I had catscans before they never said anything about gallbladders, or that anything was wrong. It's not that bad, it feels like when you run a lot and your side hurts, but yesterday it hurt when I sat down, I felt it pull. But its up higher where your gallbladder is, so I'm really confused and confusing myself even more about it, so I would really appreciate some responses!

abdominal pain, back pain, extreme fatigue, nausea occasionally pain in my vulva that's dull, and irregular period. I know no one here is a doctor and can;t diagnose me, but I was hoping so see if anyone had a similar experience and what happened. Thanks!

My issues are one every year for my pap smear a cyste is in vagina and the doctor takes it out and says you've just delivered a cyste. My question is how could a cyste travel for one ovary in to the uterus and bee so close to exiting vagina if my tubes was tied, cut, and burned..I been tested for canser in uterus all test are excellent nothing..

I'm not a Dr so I can't answer your question,but I feel your doing what you need to have done by going to see your gyn.

The past two weeks I have had a strange brownish/red discharge (like the blood that comes out at the very end of your period) and some blood clots each time I go to the bathroom. I have been reading up on the symptoms of ovarian cancer and ovarian cysts, and although many of my symptoms were related to gallbladder issues, I also have read that ovarian cancer is sometimes mistaken for other digestive problems.

i have a huge ovarian cyst i would really like to know wat to expect to see if wat im going thru is normal i guess im 27 years old have no kids and have wat i consider a huge cyst 35cm by 22cm can anyone give me wat the size of that may be.... i don't know im just looking for questions and answers if that is understandable....

My mother took me back to see my doctor, who was at a loss. The one suggestion she gave me was that I might have an ovarian cyst. Nobody has confirmed that I have a cyst yet, which is slightly irritating. Even more annoying is the fact that the pain still has not gone away after twenty-five days. I take 225 mg. of Effexor xr and 25 mg. of Anafranil once every day, along with over-the-counter pain pills for my abdomen and VitaCraves adult vitamins.

I had several ultrasounds before my gallbladder removal surgery last year, and they said that my ovaries looked normal (gyno always says they feel normal, too). So is it possible to have PCOS without ovarian cysts? Would they be visible on an ultrasound? Do the cysts come and go? Or from the ultrasound can I rule out PCOS and focus on other possibilities? I wonder if I have Cushing's syndrome, as I also have what I think is a buffalo hump and my face may be moon-shaped.

Ovarian cyst will go away on their own most itmes. Try looking around on this site. Maybe posting on the ovarian site or womens site. Wish you well.

My understanding from all of my research is that they cannot diagnose an ovarian cyst as cancerous on an US - they can only report on the characteristics of the cyst. Keep us posted as to what you find out! ...

like I said I am 22 I have no appendix no gallbladder and all these cyst problems. And just yesterday I had to go to urgent care because I had real bad pain in my back which turned out to be a kidney infection. I am a basket case!

My ovarian cysts developed around the same time as the thyroid cyst, so I find this subject very interesting. I've found that my GP's are always reluctant to do a complete endocrine panel as I was told my insurance company won't cover it unless there is a real concern by the doctor to order it. It seems to me that as women start to go into menopause, there should be a baseline endocrine test done so any changes down the road could be used for comparison..

they are going to take the gallbladder out laproscopically and the ovarian cysts will be taken out with vertical incision immediatley following. Has anyone every heard of anything like this? i am a wreck as it is and have now been hit with a double wammy...i can't understand this. I guess it is better to get it over with and done with already as most of you know that this has been going on since january. my anxiety is way up there!!!! I am so worked up..

If you ever feel like you are at the point you want someone to chat with who has been through it, please feel free to let me know. I hope it's only the ovarian cyst that is causing the problem! Have they done an ultrasound or other image test to look more clearly at that? Good luck! Please keep us posted.

My cyst is 10cm and I am due for surgery in January. What can I expect from surgery, I want both ovays out (had a partial hysterctomy years ago) This discussion is related to <a href="/posts/Ovarian-Cysts/Birth-Control-and-ovarian-cycst-pain/show/1793182">Birth Control and ovarian cycst pain</a>.

Has anyone experienced pain that high up due to an ovarian cyst?Oh and one more thing, when I was pregnant with my first child in 99 I went the hospital due to pain in my right ovarie,after an ultrasound I was told that I would have to have surgery to remove the baby because the pregnancy was in my right ovarie.
