I have had ovarian cysts in the past. I also have gi symptoms including alot of gas, and some pain under my breasts, upper rib cage. I don't have any bloating, or increased abdominal size. I recently had a colonoscopy which was normal. The dr is sending me for a cat scan to check for kidney stones and ovarian cysts. I am very worried this could be ovarian cancer. I have afamily history of colon cancer (father). Am i being irrational, or should I be very worried?
Limama - Ovarian cysts are almost always benign / non-cancerous. And most go away on their own in a few months or so, no treatment needed. Unfortunately, when they don't go away and get too large, surgery is typically needed. But you should NOT need to lose your ovary IF you have a surgeon with good cystectomy (cyst removal) skills. We need our ovaries and uterus our whole lives.
Hello, I am 34 years old and think I may have an ovarian cysts...I will be seeing my ob-gyn this coming Tuesday but wanted to write on this forum to get some advice. Here are my symptoms:
Started off as severe bloating, every day I am bloated (this has gone off and on for weeks now)
Pain/Pressure in the pelvic area on left side only...(This just started to happen a few days ago)
Pain under rib cage, almost as if I have a lot of gas/pressure buildup and am unable to release it.
I have pain under my right rib cage close to middle part of my stomach. It started two years ago. And I am female 19 years old and weigh 96lbs - 100. So, I'm not sure what is wrong. And yes I went to a doctor and he press down on the middle part and I really felt bad sharp pain there. It also still hurts now. What you might think it is?
I suffer from ovarian cysts and have been having diziness lately with a lot of pains in my hips, legs, and usual cramps. I recently noticed a hard spot on my right side by my belly button under my rib cage? Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a cyst? It's significantly harder than they left side. It does not hurt to push on but could it be something else besides a cyst?
Hello,
Various possibilities are there for these kind ofsymptoms. Pain along with fullness under the right rib cage that worsens after eating points to gallbladder disease. Types of gallbladder disease include gallstones and inflammation of the gallbladder.Liver disorder may cause such kind of symtoms. Liver function tests as well as an abdominal ultrasound would be a reasonable approach to investigate this.
I have had left side pain for almost a year, it is usually low under my rib cage, sometimes radiates around to my back. I have a lot of gas burping and flatulance. i have had a colonoscopy, Endoscopu, and Ultra sound on my whole stomache gall bladder kidneys spleen, all turned out normal... Could this have anything to do with my overies? I had a partial hysterectomy 25 years ago for a fibroid. My Ovaries were left in , they were fine at that time.
That doesn't sound like something to mess around with.
I had a mammogram yesterday and thought that my breast pain was causing my rib cage pain for the past few weeks. Well, they found nothing on my mammogram, but my rib cage is still hurting and it is penetrating to my lower right rib cage. I have been having pain for the last few weeks in under my right shoulder blade as well. I had a huge kidndey stone in the early 90's. I am currently breastfeeding as well. What could this be?
Have burning pain in private area,freqent urinatin,dull ache beneath rib cage in center...all symptoms lasting 4 months now. I have a fibroid and had a cyst,it went away. Periods have become short (1-2 days) and light,kinda brownish,and sloughy looking skin like? I have been to doc a lot lately and am on neurontin for pain,and detrol. I am concerned abot the silent killer Ovarian cancer...I had endoscopy which was fine, I have had ultrasonds(pelvic and of area that hurts).
no testing has been done on the pressure under my rib cage... it feels like when I was 9 months pregnant and a baby's foot is there. they have asked me if food related and it is not. it was present when I fasted as well.
I am having extreme bloating as if pregnant, sensitivity right above belly button, under rib cage (spleen), left bottom, and sometimes pelvic pain, heavy bleeding the first few days of period, bladder burns sometimes, and general fatigue. When this first started I noticed swelling also on spleen which I could feel it gurgling when I applied pressure to it or gently massaged it. That symptom seems to have gone for now.
belly and the loss of the curve in the lower back. These anatomical / skeletal changes cause chronic back, hip, and rib cage problems and pain. Bladder and bowel function can also be affected since they are separated and held in place by the uterus. My bowels have been "messed up" since surgery.
Has your endometriosis diagnosis been confirmed with exploratory surgery and biopsy? Have you had (or considered having) the endo excised by an endometriosis specialist?
I been having back pain, side pain under rib cage, pressure in my uterus, spikey pain in my ovary/hip area, nausea, and frequent urination. worried sick and feel terribly alone! Any input would be great.
My problems with ovarian cysts started this past January where I had a US/TVUS that found a complex cyst the size of a small lemon. My Obgyn was confident it would go away on it's own.
I also have the pain radiating above my right hip and below my rib cage. Actually, I also have lumbar pain around my back. I am having surgery to remove the mass, which has been classified as a complex dermoid cyst.
I will keep your daughter, and your family, in my prayers.
I hope that she will grow in strength and knowledge about her body, and will listen to what it is telling her.
hello, i am pretty late to post in here, but i am frantically searching for an answer to my problems. my periods have always been irregular but it does come monthly like 10 days late sometimes and whenever it comes it is always heavy and lasts for 5-6 days but last month it was just 4 days and this month it was heavy for 2 days and very light on the 3rd and 4th day and on the 5th there was nothing. again on the 6th i had bleeding (was more like blood from a wound) while having lunch.
Does anyone get radiating pain from ovarian cyst. I had pain wher my ovary was and it also radiated up higher. I thought something was wrong with me but had a ct scan and all they found was a 4.5cm x 4.5cm cyst on ovary. The doctor says pain radiates. Who else gets pain in other areas around the ovaries. I keep freaking out.
So off to the oncology surgeon. I have had a lot of pressure pain under my left rib cage, so of coarse, I thought I was loaded with cancer. In the meantime I had blood show up in my urine (just before going to son's for Thanksgiving!) This turned out to be an unrelated streph infection of the urinary tract. The under rib pain is probably my irritable bowel cranking up with stress. Finally after 2 months of worry, the cysts are benign and I have a CT scan showing no problems.
Jennifer, my only symptoms are groin/pelvic pain which is now radiating into the buttocks, and severe gastro pain which comes and goes (pain is under my rib cage, severe burning, like stomach acid). Sometimes the symptoms happen together, sometimes separate. Usually I feel like I have the flu while all of this is going on, and I feel really hot, but with no fever if I take my temp.
The CA-125 test is not accurate in diagnosing ovarian cancer. If you do not have a predisposition for ovarian cancer then your lifetime risk is less than 2%. You said he didn't seem worried about the ovarian cysts. Is that because they were functional cysts which are part of the normal menstrual cycle? Those can sometimes hang around causing some symtpoms but almost always resolve within 2 cycles.
