seems like it could be where my ovary is. Years ago, I had ovarian cysts that ruptured on my right ovary, and have since been on the pill to try to avoid the painful cysts. But for the past 4 months or so, I have very sudden, shooting/stabbing pains on my lower right side. It's always sitting down, and always completely out of the blue. It lasts for 5-10 seconds, and then completely subsides. Could this be related to an ovarian cyst? I don't know what to do.

I have ovarian cysts that rupture and when i mentioned pain during sex to my gyno, he said i might have endometriosis. I can only have intercourse without pain if i am on the bottom. I also get pink discharge or bleed after. You should post your question in the ovarian cysts forum, and endometriosis forum. Doesnt hurt to cover all bases. But your best bet is to contact your gyno and tell them whats going on, so they can find out why. Hope this helps.
There are more than one flavor of ovarian cysts and some are more cause for concern than the usual ones that occur due to what I think of as a misfired egg. I've had plenty of those along with hemorrhagic and chocolate cysts from endometriosis. Those tend to not rupture on their own and surgery usually is only considered after the size has been tracked for a few months and it gets so large that it causes more symptoms or interferes with fertility. Ain't it great to be a woman?!
Ovarian cysts are extremely common - so do not worry. However, they can also be extremely painful and can grow extremely large. Each month, when a woman ovulates, small follicles form on the outer part of the ovary. These follicles look like little marbles almost through an ultrasound. Now, during your period - these follicles are, keyword here 'supposed' to break free with the lining of your period but for some women, they do not.
Cyst just means fluid with a skin over ti - think of a blister. In PCOS, the cysts are ovarian follicles. that means , around each egg cell there is a circle of cells called follicular cells that produce hormones. Those cells help mature the egg. Every month one egg is selected to mature and to ovulate - that is to pop out of the ovary. In PCOS, ovulation rarely occurs but multiple egg cells with follicle cysts around them develop.
When the follicles are forming small cysts may be present in the normal ovary. These ovarian cysts which start during the normal function of menstrual cycle are called functional cysts which are of two types follicular cyst and corpus luteal cyst. Most of these cysts are harmless and disappear over a period of time. They are usually asymptomatic. In few patients cysts may cause menstrual irregularities, pelvic pain. In such cases medical help should be sought.

How long does it take for birth control to show progress in pain and resolution of ovarian cysts? I started using the nuva ring almost two weeks ago. I thought the pain was gone (as it had disappeared for over a week) then all of a sudden this weekend the pain returned with the same intensity. Does this mean the cysts are growing? I am growing extremely frustrated with the pain. Any advice would greatly appreciated.
I would get it checked at your next couple of appointments to make sure it is going down in size. Painful stinking things. Cost me so much in ER visits!
I am sorry to hear about your cyst and the pain. I think you should call the surgeon and let them know about your increased pain and growing stomach. Be assertive and tell them you are in pain and don't feel like you can wait until the end of the week. They should work you in sooner given your symptoms. Some types of cysts can grow more rapidly than others and the risk of rupture increases as the size increases.
Do you know if it is complex? What type of surgeon are you seeing?
Your symptoms are consistent with an ovarian cyst. Ovarian cysts are very common and can be extremely painful at times, especially if they rupture during menstruation. However, they do not cause any serious problems, aside from the pain. Try taking a a pain medication like ibuprofen. Consult your PCP if symptoms become too severe or last for more than a few days.
Given your history with cysts and endometriosis, I would get a third opinon. With a cyst that large, surgery will be needed.. my gyno didnt even play the waiting game with my 2 surgerys, my cysts were 5cm and 7cm, on in each ovary the first time, I left his office and was sent right to the hospital tht day to be and add on for surgery. Second time around, it was a 3 month wait for surgery, thts it. I would absolutely get things checked out again by another dr.
This new GYNO did a laparoscopy surgery to take biopsies to figure out what was causing so much pain. he noted I have multiple ovarian cysts measuring about 5.7. not sure what that exactly means.. but okay.. he noted that one fallopian tube is also severely damaged. and most likely has since birth. now present time Sept 2015 I have been put on Alysena low dose birth control to control excessive bleeding and cramps during my cycles. I have been on these pills for about 6 months.
Having two periods can be a cause of many things mostly STD related or ovarian cysts. The pain could also be from prolonged STD causing PID or a cyst on the ovary. I would suggest an STD screening. During the vaginal exam the doctor would be able to see if you have a cervical drip from prolonged STD cause PID and if that isn't the case and it is just cysts on the ovary's they usually just prescribe you birth control to regulate it. I have been in your same situation.
