I am 43, and have been on birth conrtol pills for over a decade. While this is the first
ovarian cyst I have had, I have a history of unusual abdominal smooth muscle tumors. A age 29 I had a reroperitoneal leiomyoma, which was also found on physical exam. It was removed by a gyn-oncolcological surgeon becuase of the location/appearance, and was benign.
Almost 6 years ago, I had numerous episodes of pain and after 9 months of repeated dr appoinments, ended up in emergency.
