Avatar n tn Some, they just watch as they usually go away on their own. Some kinds need to come out. Others can be treated with hormones to suppress ovarian activity. Most ovarian cyst removel involves removing the ovary, and they don't want to do this unless it is necessary.
Avatar f tn It may help you avoid future cysts if you get treatment now. Often, hormones can be out of balance without PCOS and it causes those same symptoms. Usually, birth control pills are recommended to try to get your hormones regulated in cases where your system is out of balance. Sometimes, you have to press for answers with your doctor. They may now draw the connection between all of the symptoms without your addressing this issue with them.
Avatar f tn I'ld like to add that based on my ultrasound, these cysts are not chocolate cysts.
Avatar n tn Hormonal treatment in the form of birth control pills is the preferred treatment for reducing ovarian cysts. The pills will show there effects within 2 to 3 months.

Avatar f tn This imbalance can cause changes in the menstrual cycle, acne, hirsutism (AKA a lot of hair where there is usually only a minimum amount like on the back), ovarian cysts, and infertility. Those with PCOS are also at an increased risk of developing insulin resistance (will have high blood sugar) which can lead to diabetes. It depends on your particular case as to how you will be treated. For instance, I take metformin and spironolactone.
Avatar m tn It can also be treated surgically and this procedure is known as drilling. Other modes of treatment are laparoscopic surgery, laparotomy or surgery for complicated ovarian cysts. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
1813956 tn?1316715823 i have lift ovarian cyst of 4cm is it dangerous and what is the treatment and if it interfere with pregnancy?
Avatar f tn s no treatment for this problem, because when my period starts, it goes on for months until i take a treatment. If I go for a surgery to remove these cysts, am i going to be regulate with my period? Is there a chance that these cysts come again? Will I become like a normal person who can get pregnant if i wish? Or do i have to continue with a treatment? Pls note that I am 48 kgs and dont need to lose weight.
Avatar f tn s true that some women do not have the cysts, but what is actually important is the hormones. The cysts come and go, so they may not be there with the ultrasound. The hormones will always be out of balance, esp. without treatment.
Avatar f tn I am 16 years old, I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts after many times to the hospital in may. I've been to my OB several of times. But everytime I go she kinda brushes off my symptoms. I'm having fatigue, low energy, frequent headaches, back pain, hip pain, and of course low abdominal pain. I'm also in constant pain, at times it gets worse.
Avatar f tn Hi jojo, Why not come visit us on the Ovarian Cyst Forum. This forum is primarily for Ovarian Cancer and there probably will be more folks replying to you on the "cyst" forum. You could also check out the Hysterectomy Forum. I had my ovary removed when I had the cyst removed but I'm also post menopausal so it really isn't the same as it is for you.. Pop on over to the Ovarian Cyst forum and post this over there..
Avatar f tn Did your doctor explain why your ovaries are being removed versus just the cyst (cystectomy)? Most ovarian cysts are benign especially in women without a family history / predisposition for ovarian cancer. Not all surgeons have good cystectomy skills that can save the ovary or at least part of it for hormone production. But if your other ovary is healthy, it would not seem you would need to have it removed unless you have cancer or are high risk.
Avatar f tn William Parker who uses organ-sparing procedures says that post-menopausal ovarian cysts are more common than many realize and MOST of these cysts are benign (just as they are in premenopausal women) and do not require removal of ovary(ies) IF you have the right doctor.
Avatar f tn Are you saying your history of ovarian cysts puts you at risk for uterine cancer? Do you have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and miss a lot of periods? Other than that, I have not heard of ovarian cysts increasing risk of uterine cancer (or ovarian cancer). Have you tried birth control pills to try to prevent the cysts and regulate your cycles?
1298207 tn?1331677531 t need any more male hormones. Also if you have a lot of cysts ovarian drilling is a good option I had it done in december of 2009 with phenomenal results. good luck hun i hope that helps.
Avatar f tn Also, are ovarian cysts related to ovarian cancer? I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts while in my 20’s which went away on their own with no treatment.
Avatar f tn but there is no guarantee this will happen. Unfortunately, many women lose an ovary(ies) for ovarian cysts when that is unnecessary. Best of luck to you in getting proper treatment.
Avatar f tn From what I have read most ovarian cysts, even in post-menopausal women, are benign and don't require intervention. This website by a reputable ob/gyn addresses this at the bottom of the webpage with the heading "Can an ovarian cyst form after menopause." http://www.ovaryresearch.com/ovarian_cysts.htm Absent a genetic predisposition for ovarian cancer such as BRCA1+ or BRCA2+, a woman's lifetime risk of ovarian cancer is less than 2%, 1.
1893678 tn?1322008313 Hi guys, I'm new to this website after reading all your supportive posts about having painful ovarian cysts. I'm 17 and I have been having problems with ovarian cysts since I was 16. Last January, I was 16, and I started feeling severe pelvic pain that wrapped around my back. The pain was so severe I laid on the bathroom floor and cried and cried. My mom then took me to my primary doctor who told me it was only a stomach bug and gave me medicine for the vomitting, and 'stomach bug.
Avatar f tn HI, Even though you may not want any more children, you are too young for a hysterectomy. The bleeding can be stopped with help of haemostatic medicines and with use of hormones like progestins. Also a D&C may sometimes be necessary to stop the bleeding. The ovarian cysts need further evaluation regarding their size and nature. Many of the cysts in young women respond to birth control pills or regress spontaneously. Hence it would be best to consult a gynaecologist for an evaluation.
