Common Questions and Answers about Ovarian cysts symptoms uk
ovarian-cysts
suggested you do ? Ovarian Cysts and ovarian cancer can cause many similar symptoms. There is absolutely no way to tell for certain unless and until surgery is performed and the path results come back. Having said that, cysts are very very common and 95% benign.
The best course of action is to speak with your physician to see what his recommended course of action is. They may possibly suggest removal, but sometimes, they prefer to wait awhile to see if they resolve themselves.
After doing extensive research on ovarian cysts on the web I have noticed that a couple of websites have incorrect information.
The BUPA website and Patient UK website (relevant to UK people only I know) for instance give the impression that more cysts are malignant than other sites say.
BUPA say that half of all post menopausal cysts are malignant, but this is completely at odds with other sites which say that most are benign.
HI NIKI THE ANSWER IS THIS IF THE DOCTOR REMOVED THE CYST WITH YR OVARY IF YOU HAVE ONLY 1 OVARY CLEAR OF ALL PROBLEMS YES YOU CAN CONCIEVE THE BAD NEWS IS THAT IF YOU DONT THEN THE OTHER OVARY IF THE OTHER IS BLOCKED TOO OR HAS ADHESIONS OR POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME ETC THEN THE CHANCE OF YOU GETTING BETTER IS NOT GOOD WITHOUT SOMEONE DOING AN OPERATION CALLED A LAPAROSCOPY THE CYST IF TENABLE WILL BE REMOVABLE IM SURE THEN ALSO THE OTHER ANOMALIES THEN THE PROGNOSIS OR OUTLOOK IS GOOD THE FACT
since I had my surgery on two ovarian cysts I have had more pain. I think that due to scar tissue, or other surgery related things, the pain before my periods, and if i have a small cyst is heightened. however, i do think that it is important you go to the doctor if you are feeling excruciating pain. you must always listen to your body, and if you are in a lot of pain, it could be a sign that something is wrong and needs immediate attention. i know your frustration.
Many of the symptoms you describe sound like ovarian cysts but unfortunately, ovarian cancer tumors also cause the same symtoms. You need to get a transvaginal ultrasound to rule out an ovarian mass. Odd are with you that you DON'T have ovarian cancer. I can say, I was floored to even know that was a possibility in my dx. I never suspected such a thing. Just tell your doctor you are having pain and the symptoms you listed. Insist on a transvaginal ultrasound.
I went to my primary who thought it was appendicitis on examination even though I mentioned a history of ovarian cysts in my mother, and my aunt died of cancer. The doctor sent me to the emergency room. I underwent a CT scan (which was "normal") and an ultrasound. (I never got the reports.) The ultrasound tech said that it was difficult to "see anything." She said that there was so much contrast from the CT that she could not see my ovaries.
My doctor told me i had sciatica in my left leg, and that it would go after 3 or 4 weeks on its own, but it hasnt, and im starting to think my symptoms are maybe that of a cyst/cysts on my ovary. I had the Depo-Provera contraception injection in january, and since that, my symptoms have become alot worse, and ive suffered with persistent bloating and weight gain. But im still unsure as this could be water retention due to the injection.
As the other poster said, larger ovarian cysts can cause urinary urgency. So can large uterine fibroids. Most cysts go away on their own within 2 or 3 cycles so I would not worry much unless your symptoms worsen especially if you start having pain which could be a sign of the cyst rupturing, leaking, or twisting the ovary. Since most cysts resolve on there own, there should not be any impact on fertility.
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.
Although it’s not known for sure whether benign ovarian cysts or polycystic ovaries develop into ovarian cancer, the vast majority of ovarian cysts appear to be unrelated.
Women who have polycystic ovaries or ovarian cancer seldom have obvious symptoms early on. However, in both disorders, symptoms are noticed as the condition progresses. Because the ovaries are affected on both disorders, the some of the symptoms can be similar.
