ovarian cysts with mirena

About 10% of women using Mirena will develop an ovarian cyst. These cysts may disappear on their own in a month or two. However, cysts can cause pain and sometimes will need surgery I found this info under contracept.

I don't know a whole lot about the Mirena, but I've heard that ovarian cysts are relatively common after having it inserted. I've never used the Mirena or other type of IUD, however, I have had ovarian cysts (I've since had a complete hysterectomy due to other problems). Normally they will just kind of keep an eye on the cyst to see if it is getting larger or if it starts causing you pain or other problems. Sometimes the cysts will go away on their own.

And a constant strong metallic smell even when there was no discharge. After I got two painful ovarian cysts, and about ten other unpleasant and painful symptoms/side effects, I had it removed. I'm still suffering a lot of my endo symptoms, and a lot of the newer symptoms/side effects since removal two weeks ago.

Most times when the cysts are the size of yours they will wait a month or two and redo the ultrasound to see if they have resolved. There is some good info on cysts on the health pages attached to this forum (top right). Good luck with everything.

Yes, it can be. Ovarian cysts, endometriosis, and other conditions can all cause back pain.

i have two ovarian cysts one 3cm and the other slightly smaller, i was already on mirena an iud and now put on yaz to for birth control to shrink the cysts but now my breast are swelling really bad, what should i look out for as for complications, is this safe?

Has anyone out there had any problems with the mirena iud?? Just wondering THANKS!

ever since i have been on the mirena i have had no problems with ovarian cysts! ask your doctors about this. not sure if it is related but its worth asking because i know they are sooo painful.

I am very biased in response to the mirana. It triggered ovarian cysts to grow which caused me to have pain for six months and then surgery with a two week long recovery. Apparently if ANYONE in your family has ever had ovarian cysts you should not go on mirana. Otherwise it was uncomfortable (to say the least) getting it in but a painless ease to get it out. So weigh your options. If you have no family history of cysts then I would say go for it. I have used nuva ring, loved the ease etc.

I now have had at least 4 ovarian cysts in the last year. In January I had one on each side, and I'm waiting to go in for an ultrasound in a few more weeks to see if they are still there, or if I'm currently experiencing symptoms for a new one, (I was feeling great in February). I also have a new Dr. cause my old dr just shrugged off my concerns, and this last time only told me I had one, and saying it was no big deal. I actually found out I had 2 and one was complex.

Mirena was more hormones, worse periods etc. paraguard gave me ovarian cysts I had reactions to the copper it started to embed in my uterus .

Also wondering if since its paraovarian meaning its right outside the ovary near the fallopian tube, if it were cancerous, what kind of cancer would it be? Fallopian or ovarian? Also, I just got the mirena put in 8 weeks ago should I consider taking it out? Thanks for your time!

I have had pain on my left side for the past 6 months. I have had several ovarian cysts during that time (mind you after my daughter was born i had my right ovary removed due to a large ovarian cyst 17mm). I had it removed in July 2011 thinking that it was causing the pain. I did not have a period the whole three years I had it. Here is a month later and I am still having the pain and I have a hemorrhagic cyst partially collapsed on my left ovary. I also have not had a period yet either.

It could be hormonal (ovarian cysts maybe?), the IUD could have moved...it could be a few things, your health care provider cna do an exam and tests if needed.

i hate cysts bursting. it feels like everything falls out of you. i never had bleeding with sex but sometimes it would hurt. i find that my cysts burst when i was on the toilet. tmi- i think it was when i "pushed" to urinat or have a bm. Using those muscles would sometimes burst the cyst. not that i tried to burst them, but it would happen if i had to go to the bathroom. does that happen to you?

Hi, At the age of 24 years with prior history of ovarian cysts, you need to firstly look for any residual cysts and you must rule out PCOS. This can be one of the reasons that can prevent a pregnancy. Hormonal assay, ultrasound scan of the pelvis and ovulation tracking must be done. Consult your Doctor for an evaluation. 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.

I had Mirena for almost 3 years, it was great the 1st year n half or so but then it made my ovarian cysts worse, had cramps worse then I'd had in my life even pre-kids and had to get it taken out. I would double over in pain some days out of no where in the end, but my periods were almost nonexistent for over a year which in a way was nice but I think that's what half my problem was. I had to go on pills with my mirena the last 6 months cuz my cysts got so bad... good luck and congrats!

Since my gyno continues to tell me my gas, bloating, constant BMs and lower left-sided pelvic pain is NOT related to my ovarian cysts, she sent me to a gastroenterologist. I had a CT scan yesterday that only showed my IUD and "bilateral prominent ovaries". I briefly spoke with the GI doctor who said this could be due to my menstrual cycle. Since having the IUD, I have not had a period now in over a year. And he did say "prominent" meant "enlarged". So.....

I have had Mirena for almost 3 years... no problems, except for occasional ovarian cysts (which I got quite often before I even got the IUD) but all of a sudden my periods have stopped (since Oct) I have been cramping like crazy, my first thought it that I may be pregnant, well I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative (granted it was a cheapy) I have made an app with my OBGYN but they can't get me in for a couple weeks and I am starting to worry.
