Heartburn is about 3-5 times a week with normal foods - this is fairly new in the last few months. There is more...but they are all symptoms of ovarian cysts and ovarian cancer.
In January, I stayed home from work one day not feeling well and I watched Dr. Oz. There was a woman on there that had been treated for UTIs, Acid Reflux, IBS, and some of them repeatedly. But something about that spoke to me.
I had 5 lg ovarian cysts that my dr. (OBGYN fertility) wanted to surgically remove from my uterus. I had a friend tell me about CASTER OIL as a remedy for naturally removing the cysts by using "cold pressed caster oil compresses". I tried this and it worked !!!- it actually removed all 5 of my cysts!! Now my doctor is upset with me. Saying it's not safe. Really and surgery is?? People have use caster oil since Before Christ. Why is this not safe?
Hormonal treatment in the form of birth control pills is the preferred treatment for reducing ovarian cysts. The pills will show there effects within 2 to 3 months. Ovarian drilling is a surgical procedure that can be associated with complications like adhesions. Hope this helps.
The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor. Take care and keep us posted.
Polycystic ovaries can be misinterpreted as complex cysts. The reason for this is that the cysts in PCOS are a cluster of simple cysts that can give the appearance on imaging as one (larger) cyst with septations.
However, most ovarian cysts, tumors and masses are benign / non-cancerous. Ovarian cancer is rare but, sadly, typically has a poor prognosis mainly because it isn't diagnosed early.
By the info that I gave you above, is it likely that it could still be cancer? Years ago my sister had an 11 pound benign ovarian cyst. Are cysts hereditary? I am 45 years old. I have pain on my left side. The pain is more severe when I have to urinate and my bladder is full. It is also more painful when I need to empty my bowels. I used to have severe IBS with loose bowels. Most often now, I am very constipated. Is this normal?
I had a transvaginal ultrasound done and my dr. is on vacation and the nurse gave me what the report said. I'm worrying myself sick not knowing the answers to these questions. The only details the nurse read to me from the ultrasound report was this: "Complex left ovarian mass vs. multiple contiguous cyst". My first question is, is there a difference between a mass and a cyst? Also, does the "vs." mean the radiologist wasn't sure if it was one or the other?
I recently heard about a treatment for cancerous cysts that involves laser removal but goes in vaginally vs. requiring surgery. I can't find any details online. Has anyone heard of this? Is it even possible?
Most MRIs of the abdomen also shoot images of the pelvic area, and if they did, then it would have shown ovarian cysts if they were there at the time of the MRI. However the best test for diagnosis is an ultrasound. So as your gynecologist has advised you can get a repeat ultrasound done.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
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!
"In" is worse for the survival prognosis of the ovary.
Kidney cysts are normally painless and they are common. Also kidney pain is usually experience in the flank area of your back and your side.
If the pain is directly under your right ribcage: upper right quadrant...there is a plethora of causes that are possible. It could be a fatty liver, gallstones, gallbladder disorder, liver disorders, adhesions ( if you ever had surgery im that region) hernia..etc, etc.
Your doctor will discuss the plan for surgery using all your test results and the size of you cysts combined. The size of the cysts also determine if you will have a laparotomy as opposed to a lapraroscopy. If a cyst is large it's usually done by laparotomy because it can't fit through the smaller instruments used in belly button surgery.
I know this is a lot to try to digest right now, but try to take it one day at a time and keep in mind that 95% of ovarian cysts are benign.
In addition it stated that my right ovary has a 1 cm cystic structure arising from the anterior pole, likely an ovarian cyst vs follicle. I also just found out I have scant hematuria and am about to see a urologist for a cystoscope. Both the GI and urologist think I should get a obgyn exam as the pain in my right side may be a gynocologic issue.
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.
One of the most effective treatments for ovarian cysts is use of contraceptive pills or progesterone pills. It can also be treated surgically and this procedure is known as drilling. Other modes of treatment are laparoscopic surgery, laparotomy or surgery for complicated ovarian cysts.
I did have a pelvic US ( Inc TV ) back in April after I saw my regular GYN for pelvic pain. It was read as having bilateral ovarian cysts. I am a MRI Technologists and I knew the radiologist who read it, so after the PET came back SO positive I had her take another look at it. She said she still felt like I had bilat cysts and color flow doppler looked good too. The problem is the PET is showing veryhigh metabolic activity of over 10 SUV. Also, CT scan showed bilat ovarian cysts.
I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago and only have part of my right ovary left. For the last year I've had recurring cyst on my remaining ovary and this last time I had 3 cyst all 3cm or larger. I've had them for about 3 months now. The first ultrasound they were all simple cyst but on the last ultrasound the tech said they didn't look "as good" - some had "debris" in them.
My question is - what does this really mean for me?
MOST ovarian cysts, etc are benign, well over 95 percent of them. Ovarian cancer is a pretty rare disease.
The wait until Dec 4th to see a GYN/Oncologist is not that long, and if GYN/Oncologist feels after reviewing your records that it is an emergency for you to be seen, they would get you into the office earlier. Wait times also vary depending on your location and the number of GYN/Oncologists in the area.
The cysts/masses you have are pretty small.
This will give them a good view of your ovary and any cysts that you may have. Please rest assured that ovarian cysts and cancer have most of the same symptoms. 95% of ovarian cysts are non cancerous. It is common to have pain during exercise, sex, and sitting for long periods of time when you have an ovarian cyst. Please keep us updated on how you are doing.
My friend has ovarian cysts and has had one ovary removed eight mths ago and now the cysts are in her remaining ovary. She is told it has to be removed and on hormone replacement therapy the rest of her life but is told that the hormone therapy will be dangerous for her due to the high risk of blood clots. Is there an alternative therapy she can take or alternative to removal of the ovary or way to just treat the cyst?
It really depends on the type of cyst and the size. I've had normal ovulation cysts, benign teratoma cysts (dermoids), and malignant teratoma cysts. The only ones that I ever felt were my first one (malignant teratoma) that was 9 cm and caused dull constipation-like pain due to its size, and my current cyst is a normal 'functional' cyst at 5 cm. I had pain with this cyst that landed me in the ER, most likely because my ovary was hemorrhaging into the cyst.
s or earlier then you have less than a 2% ovarian cancer over a life time. 98% of ovarian cysts are benign cysts can be the size of grapefruits. I was surprised that an ultra sound could show ovarian cancer but it can. Mine showed cancer. I had an ultrasound on Thursday. The doctor called me Monday and told me I had a mass. I saw the Oncologist on the next day and was in surgery in three days.
You probably all ready know this but it is good to go to a GYN/Oncologist.
