ovarian-cysts
I also have cysts around my ovaries and was diagnosed with multicystic ovarian syndrome. My OBGYN is one of the top docs in Chicago and has practiced for 30+ years. So, basically, he's seen it all.
Please note, multicystic ovarian syndrome is different than polycystic ovarian syndrome. My doctor has seen fit to start treating me with Yaz, a diffeent type of bith control than I was already on.
Well, I am now on Yaz BCP to take care of my Cysts in my overies for about 14 days. I would like to go on Clomid/IUI and overdril 2nd try..I am a little scared that I will keep getting the cysts though...It seems to be taking a while for me each time and it is frustrating for me. I know I need to be patient...and calm.
Has anyone gone through this? any suggestions?
In my case, since it was too big, I had a laparotomy (like a C-section) to remove it and the doctor also removed adhesions and now I am free of cysts and are under doctor's control because I want to have kids.
Talk to your doctor and see which option is better for you. Also, in this forum there are a lot of women who have gone through similar situations and that could help you out.
Why those occur is a bit more mysterious. And then the worst case scenario is ovarian cancer, thankfully rare, but cysts put doctors on alert for the possibility of cancer.
One possible cause of cysts is too much estrogen. Besides the estrogen the ovary produces naturally, artificial ones are present in food, drugs, environmental toxins, etc., and it's believed to adversely affect ovary behavior.
He also said that her uterus felt fine, but he wanted her to have an ultrasound to check for ovarian cysts. That is not scheduled for over ten days. I am attempting not to be an anxious mother. Could the doctor, pathologists, etc have missed something in September that is now effecting her ovaries? Or could this be totally unrelated to the cervical issues. She missed a period last month and is on Yaz.
puts me on a month of Yaz when I get these cysts, and they go away in that month. I HATE Yaz, but he says that you need the strong hormones and not all birth controls have that strong of hormones. It has been working on the months when I need it, but it does slow up the process. Having the cyst does impact ovulation and/or follicle production, so it is important to get rid of it.
I THOUGHT that since I had two easy pregnancies, I would have no problems, but it has been a year and a half now.
Have you had your antibodies checked? I ask because ovarian cysts, acid reflux, leg cramping, chest pain, eye pain, could also be caused by Hashimoto's antibodies. Hashimoto's causes hypothyroidism, and if you haven't had your TGAb and Anti-TPO blood work, I suggest you get it, along with a thyroid ultrasound.
The treatment for Hashimoto's, just like hypothyroidism, is hormone replacement like the brand you're taking, but there are many brands and formulas.
If you only have one cyst usually these do go away and I would consider the contraceptive pill for atleast 3/12 and ask your doctor to send you for another scan to check the progress if the cyst has resolved/shrunk then you could try starting for a family.
A couple years ago I had the Mirena put in because I was having ovarian cysts. This helped until 5 months ago. Now they are back with a vengeance. I had the Mirena removed a couple of weeks ago so I could try other bc options.
I am wondering if anyone else gets cysts back to back like this? I feel as though I am losing my mind being in this constant pain. I am a healthy 29 year old with one child.
3-4 different kinds of pills, the patch, the shot and I had terrible side effects for all of those including worse pains, numbness, and my entire leg and arm tingling and going numb. But on Yaz there were no side effects and all my cysts were gone.
But remember, everyone is different. Hope this was helpful!
fast forward to last year when I had to have the IUD taken out because it completely messed me up (it was sliding out, and it moved so much that it constanty poked on my uterus causing severe pain/paralyzing me during my menses) so i was put on YAZ early last year and the NIGHTMARE continued, I have gone from 118Lbs to 153Lbs!!! in a 1 and 1/2yrs and the cellulite/stretch marks is also out of control!!! I can't bring myself to wear a bathing suit!!!
I was on Lo Lo Estren and it was perfect but insurance wanted a generic so I was given a generic for Yaz. Now I am losing my mind! I am super anxious all the time and suddenly jealous of every woman that my husband works with. I obsess over silly things that I would never worry about before. I am switching back ASAP but I was wondering if anyone else has been through this with Yaz as well. I don't know how long I can take this until the pill is out of my system!
but for some reason none of the pharmacies around here dont carry it, she said that well have to do another blood test in six weeks, i have a bunch of other medicall stuff going on right now, mass in my breast and ovarian cysts, and something called kidney sponge, so its gonna take a while to be fully on top of all of it right now, i guess ill just have to have patience and hope she knows what she doing, thanks for your advice.
At the end of May (on the 18th), I had surgery on my stomach and stopped taking the Yaz. I had been forgetting to take them all month, and had a very light period right before the surgery. Anyway, come June, I got my period in the middle of the month, like on the 14th, which was weird considering my periods usually come at the end of the month. Then, on the 24th, I lost my virginity. We used a condom and were careful, etc.
I do have a question, but I first want to share my story and hopefully give hope to women out there worrying about this condition. On March 4, 2009, I went in to see my Gynecologist for my yearly pap smear and to discuss some pain I was having on what I believed to be my right ovary. The doctor examined me and couldn't find anything, so he ordered an ultrasound. The ultrasound indicated that I had a 8cm Septated Ovarian Cyst.
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?
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.
