I have polycystic ovarian syndrome, and have been having intense pains. Some doctors are saying that it can be kidneys, some say that the pain is because of the cysts! Some docs say that the cysts are not suppposed to hurt. Does polycystic ovarian syndrome cause excruciating pain? If not, what could be wrong with me. My mom died from cancer and i am worried that it could be.
PCOS is a syndrome
There is no obvious causal link between polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and ovarian cancer. Although it’s not known for sure whether benign ovarian cysts or polycystic ovaries develop into ovarian cancer, the vast majority of ovarian cysts appear to be unrelated.
Women who have polycystic ovaries or ovarian cancer seldom have obvious symptoms early on. However, in both disorders, symptoms are noticed as the condition progresses.
Hi There,
You might be better helped to see your gynecologist and go over your reports. While PCOS, polycystic ovarian syndrome, is a real medical diagnosis, this term is used commonly and inappropriately whenever a few cysts are seen in a young woman's ovaries. It is important to see you doctor to be sure that that truly is your diagnosis.
PCOS is a complicated syndrome of insulin resistance, obesity, and ovarian hormone imbalance .
I have recently turned 17 and been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, however my GP wants me to get 2 internal scans (TV and TA) to see if I have polycystic ovaries, and I'm honestly just scared and confused on what to do.
I have most symptoms of PCOS, and I have only had my period 2 times over 4 fours, but I don't know to handle this. I have anxiety and at the moment this is increasing.
For the past few years I have had Infrequent periods, I have experienced severe pelvic pain of the right ovary, crippling pain unable to function at work and school. When I did get medical help i've been told on two separate occasions that I had an ovarian cyst and was sent home with pain killers. After doing further research I found a doctor that was sure that my symptoms of irregular periods, nausua and pelvic pain was related to Pcos.
Can ovarian cancer be mistaken for polycystic ovaries on a transvaginal ultrasound - or do they look different?
Over 98% of ovarian cysts are benign. What does your doctor say. You could have Polycystic Ovary syndrome which is not cancerous.
I suffed from ovarian cysts since I was 14.. I'm 34 now and have just been diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome.. though I haven't had a cyst that has caused me pain or discomfort in years..
The best thing to help combat and minimize the occurrence and severity of an ovarian cyst I found was exercise!! The release of serotonin somehow helps.. but I've become an avid Zumba goer and not only did it keep the cysts at bay, but it's a lot of fun..
In January 2008 i was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Hyperthyroidism. Whilst visiting the endocrine department at the hospital in May 2008, I was then also diagnosed with Graves Disease, and am being checked for Diabetes. I was also told that my heart beats too fast and was put on beat blockers.
Is there any reason why i suddenly have these 3 illnesses? I have always been healthy and in the last 6 months feel awful.
Check thyroid, also get checked for PCOS - polycystic ovarian syndrome. Hair loss and growth in other areas is a common symptom of that as well. I have both thyroid problems and PCOS and also suffer from the hair issues.
Hello,
According to your ultrasound report, one ovary is polycystic and the other is having a dermoid cyst. PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome ) is a problem in which a woman’s hormones are out of balance.So ovaries develop more follicles than normal every month.Diagnostic tests are 2 hr GTT,serum androgen and testosterone levels,LH-FSH ratio,prolactin levels,TSH levels,17-hydroxyprogesterone levels and 3D ultrasound done.
I have been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and have been researching that pregnant women with PCOS have a higher rate of miscarrage. Does this rate of risk decrease if you are taking clomid or have ovarian drilling?
It sounds like they are merely saying that the ultrasound findings are consistent with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is fairly common and is a condition of insulin resistance and usually elevated testosterone levels. Some common traits of PCOS (besides "beads" of cysts on the ovaries) are a tendency to be overweight or gain easily, excess body and facial hair, and acne.
I'm just curious if Type 1 and polycystic ovaries come hand in hand. from what I've read, polycystic ovarian syndrome can cause type 2 if left untreated. I'm a little confused, I'm getting checked for POS, but I was diagnosed with type 1 over a year ago (when I was 23). Could there be anything other than POS?
