I only assume I have PCOS because my hormones are out of whack and I have ovarian cysts. My symptoms have been going on for 10+ years and no doctor ever diagnosed me with this condition or even mentioned it. I have been struggling for the last 2+ years with severe health problems and was recently diagnosed with insulin resistance (metabolic syndrome). Make sure your doctor is very informative about this condition. Ask lots of questions.

Hello,
What you may be having is a simple ovarian cyst. They are common in child bearing age. Mostly they are symptomless But Ovarian cysts can, however, cause problems if they twist, bleed, or rupture. Most ovarian cysts will go away on their own and a simple ovarian cyst less than 6 cm goes away on its own usually by 12 months.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Yes, I have had many ultrasound, they see follicles, which are the cysts. They can not see my left ovary, in any ultrasound. They say, I may have endometriosis also, but dont want to do a pointless surgery. They have me on birth control for the hormones for three more months and if it doesn't help or it stays the same they do want to do the surgery.
Went in for a pap and my doctor sent me for a ultrasound and transvagina. My dr (who is a personal friend). Told me I have a small ovarian cyst 2.9 cm on my left and 2 small fibroids. He told me I could go on a birth control pill, which bcps and me do not agree, expect heavy periods for 5-10 years. Down the road could consider a d and c or ablation, but for right now follow up in 3 months. Then it dawned on me this weekend that my pain is on the right and my cyst is on the left.
Majority of women do experience ovarian cysts and they generally do go away on their own without any damage. Caution that if it is on the larger size then it could rupture or twist in which you will experience extreme pain. If this happens it is an emergent situation and you need to go to the ER.
Many women find that they need to get second and third opinions in order to get answers they need from someone they trust.
It sounds like you have a small ovarian cyst. Most cysts are benign and resolve on their own within a few cycles / months, no intervention needed. Imaging is not exact (MRI may be more so than u/s) so it can be difficult to tell the type of cyst. Some cysts that resolve on their own can appear solid on imaging such as hemorrhagic.

I was ttc and when I had an ultrasound the tech said follicles are a good sign for my situation. Usually with my cysts I would be crunched over in pain yet my friend never had side affects. How do you know you have cysts?
I'm 55 yrs old. Gyn dr discovered an ovarian cyst (ultrasound test) in June, 2008. She said it had to come out & referred me to an oncology gyn dr. I have been seeing this dr for the last 6 mos. He has ordered various ultrasound tests and blood work (cancer makers, CA 125, CA 19-9). My last visit was on 1/7/09 at which time one of my cancer markers was alittle abnormal, but was told not to worry.
They were able to do an ultasund and stated that I have bilateral ovarian cysts. They appear simple in nature, will a small amount of fluid in the cul-de-sac. The right cyst is 3cm and the left is 4.5 cm in size. Is the size of these cysts concerning considering that my Gyn stated that there were no cysts on 4/29 during the lap procedure? Should I be concerned about these cysts representing something more than simple cysts? Thank you for your time.
