Avatar n tn D and C or ablation is done for heavy periods resulting from endometrial hyperplasia and not for ovarian cysts. If you want to go the natural way then you can wait for a spontaneous regression of the ovarian cyst. This will require follow up with frequent ultrasound scans. Hope this helps. Take care and good luck.
1897851 tn?1321545222 Its been a few days since I've had pelvic cramps. I did some searching online to see what could cause it and the main thing that it could possibly be is ovarian cysts. I'm not saying I have them, but I feel I need to look into it just in case. Can a normal pelvic exam determine if that's what it is?
Avatar n tn Common things being common, fibroids, which are benign muscle growths of the wall of the uterus, can give you pain and heavy bleeding. Ovarian cysts can be related to ovulation, or benign growths, endometriosis and so on. To sort that out, usually repeat scans are obtained over 3 to 6 months to see dynamically how the cysts come and go. Depending on your age, birth contorl pills are commonly tried to control heavy bleeding and pain.
Avatar n tn The bleeding is definitely of concern. Bowel and urine and pain and bloating are all common cyst symptoms. When is your surgery scheduled? there are a lot of questions you need to ask and a 2nd opinion might be valuable.
Avatar m tn I went off birth control 4 years ago and ever since then I have been developing ovarian cysts. Sometimes i get lower back pain that extends down my buttocks and feels like sciatica . I also get what feels like menstral cramping after intense exercise. During ovulation i also experience uncomfortable cramping. My periods are pretty regular (maybe off by 5 days tops) and they are not heavy, just normal and they last about 4 days.
1148191 tn?1271817646 I ovulated around the 1st of March, for a week after that I had dull cramping in my left side and than 7 days later i started getting what felt like period cramps. I went to the doctors and come to find out I have a cyst on my ovary, my question is I still think I might be pregnant, just how common are ovarian cysts in early pregnancy and is it possible that if I'm having pregnancy symptoms that I could still be pregnant.
Avatar n tn Women can get from time to time ovarian cysts. Usually they are simple cysts and not dangerous. I have had one myself. And they pass on their own. While you have them, you can have irregular bleeding, pain, hormonal changes. Then when they pass, it is painful. You often also have heavy bleeding. It is like a super magnified bad period with cramps and bleeding. Then you pretty much go back to normal after. I had one 15 years ago and do not think I've had any others since.
Avatar f tn Could this be related to ovulation or period cramps? Or perhaps cysts? Having ovarian cysts can cause us to be irregular and have that symptom of dull type of pain. Have you had a physical or better yet, a pelvic exam with a gynecologist any time recently?
Avatar m tn t t know where to put it so I put it here.
Avatar n tn I went back for a check up because I was experiencing extremely painful cramps. My doctor used an ultra-sound to check the placement of the IUD and all was fine. However, she discovered that I had multiple cysts. She perscribed pain medications, and sent me on my way. My question is how long are they supposed to last? It is now mid-May and I still get the same severe pain. It shoots down my left leg, (sometimes the right) and across my back.
Avatar n tn Ovarian cysts suck because they can delay your period and make you think you're pregnant when youre not. When theyre large and they rupture, its hurts like heck and they usually occur around ovalation. Alot of women using fertility meds get little cysts and that is normal too.

Avatar n tn Uterus is enlarged, measuring 11.1 x 6.3 x 5.8 cm. There is a mass along the posterior uterine body measuring 3.8 x 3.7 x 3.1 cm and another mass anteriorly on the left measuring 1.4 x 1.5 x 1.4 cm. There is some fluid seen within the endocervical canal. My ovaries are normal in size but there are simple bilatral ovarian cysts measuring 1.7 x 1.7 x 1.4 cm and 0.8 x 1.1 x 0.8 cm with additional follicles noted within the left ovary. No free intrapelvic fluid noted.
Avatar f tn Hello, There are several reasons why a woman have delayed menstruation and this could be due to unhealthy diet, stress (emotional or physical), sudden weight gain or loss, caffeine, alcohol, and smoking. Gynecological conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and uterine cysts or polyps, can also bring about alteration in menstrual cycle. However, pregnancy is still the most common cause of delayed or missed period.
136986 tn?1232399830 I'm 16 and have been getting ovarian cysts since I was 13. I was rushed to the E.R when they thought I had appendicitis, but it was a cyst. I get numerous cysts each month, most of them burst which cause a great deal of pain. Lately my bowels have been weird. There's a lot of rumbling in my stomach, and I can feel everything moving around. I go a lot, but its normal. I've been on the gassy side too. Yesterday my stomach was killing in my pelvic area, to the right of my left hip.
Avatar n tn If a person keeps having recurrent, suspicious cysts...I had one that was 21 cms x 10 cms, and had to be removed surgically, is that person at higher risk of developing ovarian cancer. My doctor's been willing to remove my ovaries, both of them, for some time due to pain and heavy menstruation...
10299247 tn?1409208876 They are ovarian cysts I have had them for about a year now. And if I walk to stand for to long they hurt so bad like really bad cramps only on the left and right side never anywherr else and its always in the same spot.
1962986 tn?1326018115 I am 19 and for the last couple years my periods have lasted about 9 days, give or take a day depending on the month. I have horrible cramps every month and have a history with ovarian cysts. I have seen my doc but he just says as long as my iron is fine I'm fine. Is this normal? How long does the average last?
155534 tn?1275412255 The first time the cramping was so painful, I had to take tylenol and lay down, and it took like and hour and a half to subside..The cramps were much stronger than menstral cramps.This 2nd time was yesterday evening.It wasn't as bad yesterday, but there was still like cramping and a warm sensation in my lower abdoman.It does not hurt in the process, except in certain positions...I have had a history of ovarian cysts. I do not know if that's what this is or not.
Avatar f tn Ovarian cysts can cause these types of pain. The good news is that most cysts go away on their own with time. Most women get them at some point. Have you seen a gynecologist yet? He/she can do an ultrasound and see if an ovarian cyst is the cause of your pain. Pain is a way of our bodies letting us know something is wrong so it is important not to ignore it. But, try not to worry. It would be extremely uncommon for you to have a more serious condition at your age.

Avatar f tn history with ovarian cysts when younger. having extreme menstrual feeling cramps that last 24/7 and an endometrial strip f 2.5cm. What will obgyn do/look for?
Avatar f tn So i started taking the pill at the start of my cycle this month. and usually i have extreme period cramps anyways, but the past week of the start of taking the pill i have been having a lot of pain. especially on the ovaries. i also have been feeling sick occasionally but that could be something else. im just wondering if its okei that i am experiencing pain on my ovaries with the start of taking the birth control pill?
1294482 tn?1354489288 I had cysts 2.6 and 2.5 on each ovary and it just made me feel a little crampy and achey. I wasnt crying in pain. It took about 6-8 weeks for those to resolve on their own. Later I had a much larger around 4.5 and it was stubborn, I had surgery for that one.(we were TTC so had it removed) Even it wasnt terribly painful. I just felt achey, menstral cramps were worse than the cyst pain.
Avatar f tn Hi, Sorry, I don't know much about the "Mirena".. What does your Dr. say about the cysts? How were they found? You might check out the top right of this page "Health Pages" . It has a lot of information about Ovarian Cysts. Cysts are very common in younger women, but you must ask the Dr. about the IUD /Mirena. I truly have no idea about that.
