Have you been diagnosed with PCOS? This condition causes the acne, weight gain and cysts. It is important to follow up with your doctor to see if you have this condition. It may help you avoid future cysts if you get treatment now. Often, hormones can be out of balance without PCOS and it causes those same symptoms. Usually, birth control pills are recommended to try to get your hormones regulated in cases where your system is out of balance.
I work out regularly and I eat well. I had noticed weight gain over the last few months but I attested it to stress and lack of sleep. I had been having sharp pains once a month that would last a couple days but I knew nothing of cysts so I didn't think it was the problem.. But now I'm thinking I've been having rupturing cysts since May.
But I'm now 125lbs and I just feel pregnant! I can't duck in the swelling!

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. What awaits me if I get the cysts and ovaries out. Will menopause be any worse than the lower back pain with the cysts? Thanks for any help.
Some of the causes of irregular periods are ovarian cysts, stress, anemia, and hormonal disorders like thyroid and adrenal malfunction.
Please consult your OBGYN as soon as possible as exact cause can be identified only after a clinical examination and tests like ultrasound and blood test.
Take care!
I had the Depo-Provera contraception injection in january, and since that, my symptoms have become alot worse, and ive suffered with persistent bloating and weight gain. But im still unsure as this could be water retention due to the injection. I've heard this injection has been proven to cause ovarian cysts, is this true? I was just wondering, if someone could identify with my symptoms? And how i would go about getting a screening, as i am only 18?
I agree with Cindy that it is very unlikely to be Ovarian Cancer. However, young girls do get cysts. Actually cysts are very very common in young premenopausal women and 95 % benign. You may want to check the top right of this page; "Health Pages" . It has a lot of information about cysts . Of course we don't know if she even has cysts. And.. we're not Drs. here.. She really needs to be seen my by a Gyn. It could be one of many things.
Few women may also have weight gain as one of its side effects. Few women may also develop ovarian cysts while on nexplanon.
It is best to discuss the risks and benefits of any birth control method before starting to use it.
It is best to have a frank discussion with your gynecologist about these side effects. He/she may suggest an alternative birth control method which may be most suitable for you.
Other causes can be from medications, eating disorders, illness, weight loss/weight gain, drugs, birth control, and issues with your ovaries such as polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Three periods is a lot to miss. You should make an appointment with a gynecologist for a check-up, pap smear, and pelvic exam. It could be something as simple as stress, but it could also be something very serious with your ovaries as well.
Not sure but could be a few things. But could be ovarian cysts. Was same for me. Those cysts are quite common. There are other unwanted side effects from having those also. Like facial hair...you probably and hopefully don't have that. It's great that you have a check list and crossed things off. But its it's really better to see a doc. Could be hormonal. If it is. The doc will probably just put you on birth control pills.
i really liked the nuva ring... it goes in every 3 weeks, take it out for 1 week, then put a new one in. the ring is actually quite comfortable, i forgot it was in there a couple times!! i have pcos also, and that was the best one i have found so far. and i also didnt gain any weight with it. i would do some research on it, but that was the best one that i was on!!
Hello,
Yours ymptoms are suggestive of polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS). PCOS causes cysts to form on the ovaries, interfering with regular ovulation. Symptoms of this syndrome include: excessive hair growth, weight gain,irregular menstrual cycle, acne, dandruff, high blood pressure, and infertility. Left untreated, it can lead to other more serious complications, including endometriosis, heart disease, and ovarian cancer.
Hi I’m 22 and have two children . I have frequent big ovarian cysts I have had cystectomys 3 times in the past 3 years. They are extremely painful and I still have no answer as to why I get them so frequent and how can I help preventing them . I have tried many different birth controls and I went even with out. I have not had a period in a long time like a year not at all .
Erm I just got told hemaroid? I think! They're not doing anything apart from monitoring it but I can't explain the horrendous pain I'm in when I get one if my pains! It needs sorting but I don't know what todo next!
Nope, not curable but can be managed better for some who are overweight with weight loss. The double edged sword is that PCOS causes insulin resistance, which makes you gain weight and weight gain can result in PCOS. Women with PCOS are not always overweight. My RE says that it can be either inherited (she thinks mine was passed down) or it can be a result of gaining excess weight.
I have had previous ovarian cysts. These were diagnosed via CT scan. What showed was ovarian cysts and a small amount of fluid located in the middle of the pelvis. These were determined to not be a threat. I called my OB/GYN about the results, he looked them over and said they were normal for a woman my age. I am 43. Now, I have a pretty bloated lower abdomen and midback pain on the right side and some occasional nausea as well as weight gain.
Hi, sorry for all your problems. you should go back and read my posts. I had a lot of similar symptoms. My cyst was tennis ball size, and it did resolve on it's own over 3 months. but I actually lost weight. I was hungary, but I would feel really full as soon as i started eating. I'm probably the only person to gain weight in the hospital after surgery. All I did was eat in there !lol Hopefully this will resolve itself. good luck.
Hi, I am 44 & had an Endometrial Ablation & tubal ligation when I was 27. Pre-op, I had menstruals that lasted for months (my last period lasted 62 days); constant lethargy; hair loss; dark circles under eyes. Saw my ob 16x in 10 mos (full exam) & he continued to switch my birth control as he advised that I needed more hormones.
m 37, 4 kids, have been having some crazy symptoms and have been looking at so much info online about of fibroids, ovarian cysts, and ovarian cancer. All of these seem to have very similar symptoms. Obviously,I should just go to the doctor, but I'm worried and would like to know anyone elses opinion on this. Ex : Is there any specific symptom out there that I'll know is a huge red flag for cancer?
It is a complex cyst meaning it will not go away. I have been experiencing weight gain and a large belly with slight cramping and hip and thigh pain. I see the Doc today to discuss possibly removing the right ovary and tube. Although she does not think it is causing my symptoms, I certainly do because I had no symptoms, large belly or weight gain prior to the bleed in January,
Soooo... I was also given a blood test called CA-125 to screen for ovarian cancer.
i went to the dr. today they told me i either have an ovarian cyst or pregnant. i have to wait on the blood test to confirm.in the mean time they told me to set an appt. for a sonogram..im so scared.but it's weird how ovarian cyst symptoms match preg symp. from the nausea,weight gain,fatigue,heavy urining,etc. any one been through this or know info on it.
