ovarian cysts and anemia

Unfortunately, I cannot comment on anything but the ovarian cysts. Cysts are very common and most resolve on their own. If yours are not large (over 7 cm or so) and you do not have a predisposition for / family history of ovarian cancer, then they can usually be monitored via periodic ultrasound.

my mom has a history of ovarian cysts she thinks that i had a cysts rupture last week.

Background: Age 49, pre-menopausal, married 25 years with 4 children ages 9-16, diagnosed this past year with mild iron-deficiency anemia but otherwise quite healthy. The typical causes of anemia (heavy menses, GI problems) have been ruled out. Never any gyne problems. Question: Dr. noted an ovarian thickening and found adnexal tenderness during routine pelvic exam. I'm being referred for a complete pelvic ultrasound.

I had this happen to me several times. It was actually for me ovarian cysts. Either way I would call a dr and let them know whats going on.

The anemia is from heavy bleeding. I am worried about the biopsy. So many stories about the in office procedure vs hospital. My US was done a week after my cycle. Hopefully I will be able to save my ovary for hormonal reasons. Thanks for responding.

You know... I read something the other day that tied smoking to Ovarian Cysts too. Now, I don't know if that's scientific or not.. But I used to be a heavy smoker. . Of course, they tie smoking to just about everything don't they?

Have you been checked for anemia lately? Cysts can cause heavy periods which can lead to anemia.

Stress is the first thing that comes to mind but it could be a hormonal imbalance, ovarian cysts, age and other medical reasons... definitely need a gyno's advice on this one! GOOD LUCK!

d certainly address the situation as having two possibilities, anemia and pain, with the anemia causing the fainting and the pain coming from the cramping.

I had my first child at age 18 and my first laproscopy at age 20 with the removal of three ovarian cysts one on the fallopian tube and the other two on the left ovary. I had my second child this year in feb and in april had a sono due to pelvic pain which revealed a simple cyst on the right and a bilateral simple cyst on the left. I then had the IUD put in because I had decided I did not want any more children.

Hello, I am hoping that someone has had some experience with ovarian cysts and the use of birth control (nuva ring) to prevent ovulation. My doctor started me on the nuva ring in hopes that it would help with the pain from bilateral ovarian simple cysts that measure 5cm and 4.2 cm. If anyone has experience with this type of treatment please respond to the following questions. Does birth control help with the pain from ovarian cysts? Does using birth control help ressolve the existing cysts?

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!

Ovarian cysts can be benign or malignant but the majority (over 90%) are benign. A lot depends on your age and what type of cyst it is - functional, dermoid, etc. Your doctor hopefully will let you know if there is anything to be concerned about. You can google "ovarian cysts" to get more information so you know what questions to ask at your appointment. Please let us know how it goes.

What is the difference between ovarian cysts and ovarian cancer. I haven't had a period for 3 months now and I have a sharp pain in my lower right side, as well as back pain, especially in the mornings. once in a while i am off balance when walking. i am bloated, and a lot of times i don't have an appetite.

Also be mindful of your diet, there is a link between insulin resistance and ovarian cysts. It is best to stay away from processed white flour products like bread and pasta, and the worst culprit is of course sugar.

I also have bruises on one of my leg. Could this be anemia? And is this the cause of having spotting and little/irregular period?

I suppose a high creatinine level could indirectly be related to ovarian cysts as ovarian cysts can aggravate hydronephrosis, which in turn elevated creatinine levels.

Had abdominal CT scan in August (to check liver) and was told that I have fatty liver and ovarian cysts (minor notation on report). Side pain has gotten worse and enzymes still elevated. Had second abdominal CT scan to get a better look at liver and pancreas. Was told everything looked okay (still have fatty liver) but the ovarian cysts have grown.

Ovarian cysts are very common and affect mainly women in their 30s and 40s. Women who are past menopause (ages 50-70) and have ovarian cysts have a higher risk of having ovarian cancer. The only way to diagnose ovarian cancer is looking at the cells under a microscope. There are tumour markers the doctors can test for called CA-125 and CA19-9 (both are blood tests) however numbers can be higher due to inflammation.

98% of ovarian cysts are non cancerous. It is rare to have cancerous cysts on both ovaries. If you do not have the BRCA mutation you have a 1.4% of ovarian cancer in a lifetime. You doctor is who you need to talk to. Write down questions to ask.

Do ovarian cysts cause extreme fatigue? I have for cysts. One of them is a complex cyst measuring 4cm. I have had them for at least a year and being treated with birth control. I get abdominal pain, back pain, pain on my thighs, bloating and nausea. However, what really affects my daily life is the fatigue. I am always very tired, I feel like everything aches and just want to sleep. I work but lack the energy to go through an entire day without feeling I need to sleep!

My friend had a TAH and debalking for ovarian cancer 3 weeks ago. She has since met with the GYN oncologist and diagnosed with stage 2 c clear cell ovarian cancer. She's in the process of starting chemo and her regular GYN doc found her to be anemic and want her to start on iron. Is this the right treatment for anemia pre-chemo?

I had pain on my right side and went for an ultrasound and they told me I have a few small cysts on the right and one had ruptured, but they were more concerned because I had one on my left ovary that is 2.8cm. I think this may have been caused by me abruptly stopping the pill a few months ago. My husband had a vasectomy so I figured why keep taking the pill, I didn't realize how much is would mess up my system.

It's hard to say but ovarian cysts are common and there are some that appear solid but are benign (non-cancerous). Here is a helpful website about ovarian cysts - http://ovaryresearch.com/ovarian_cysts.htm. Cysts can alter hormone levels which may explain the tender breasts. However, hysterectomy itself can alter hormone levels because it can impair the functioning of the ovaries. Let us know what more you find out. Hoping it's nothing serious.
