Avatar f tn Hey. I was kinda ( i never went to get the ultrasound done) with ovarian cysts last year. My doctor put me on birth control. A little over two weeks ago my boyfriend came inside of me. Since last Wednesday I have been having headaches, lower backaches, nausea, gas, and I've been tired a lot. My doctor did a pregnancy test, but it was negative. Could I still be pregnant? Even with the birth control and cysts?
Avatar f tn Heartburn is about 3-5 times a week with normal foods - this is fairly new in the last few months. There is more...but they are all symptoms of ovarian cysts and ovarian cancer. In January, I stayed home from work one day not feeling well and I watched Dr. Oz. There was a woman on there that had been treated for UTIs, Acid Reflux, IBS, and some of them repeatedly. But something about that spoke to me.
Avatar n tn I think possibliy you mean ovarian cysts instead of ovarian fibriods as fibriods are assoicated with the Uterus and ovarian cysts are associated with the ovaries.
Avatar f tn I had 5 lg ovarian cysts that my dr. (OBGYN fertility) wanted to surgically remove from my uterus. I had a friend tell me about CASTER OIL as a remedy for naturally removing the cysts by using "cold pressed caster oil compresses". I tried this and it worked !!!- it actually removed all 5 of my cysts!! Now my doctor is upset with me. Saying it's not safe. Really and surgery is?? People have use caster oil since Before Christ. Why is this not safe?
Avatar f tn Polycystic ovaries can be misinterpreted as complex cysts. The reason for this is that the cysts in PCOS are a cluster of simple cysts that can give the appearance on imaging as one (larger) cyst with septations. However, most ovarian cysts, tumors and masses are benign / non-cancerous. Ovarian cancer is rare but, sadly, typically has a poor prognosis mainly because it isn't diagnosed early.
Avatar m tn My friend has ovarian cysts and has had one ovary removed eight mths ago and now the cysts are in her remaining ovary. She is told it has to be removed and on hormone replacement therapy the rest of her life but is told that the hormone therapy will be dangerous for her due to the high risk of blood clots. Is there an alternative therapy she can take or alternative to removal of the ovary or way to just treat the cyst?
Avatar m tn Was asked the other day how to tell if you're dealing with a cyst vs early pregnancy. Symptoms seem pretty similar to me from a quick read and I've heard that a cyst can actually screw up a urine pregnancy test (false positive). Anybody have any insight on this one? Are there any indicators (other than ultrasound), that would show a cyst is likely/unlikely?
358971 tn?1330888975 Ah yes. Breast tenderness and pain with periods can be a result of ovarian cysts. I'm actually finding my breast tenderness happening when my period is over!
Avatar f tn I had a transvaginal ultrasound done and my dr. is on vacation and the nurse gave me what the report said. I'm worrying myself sick not knowing the answers to these questions. The only details the nurse read to me from the ultrasound report was this: "Complex left ovarian mass vs. multiple contiguous cyst". My first question is, is there a difference between a mass and a cyst? Also, does the "vs." mean the radiologist wasn't sure if it was one or the other?
Avatar f tn If you check in on the health pages to the right of this you will find an artical that explains cysts in detail cysts signs and symptoms
Avatar m tn I recently heard about a treatment for cancerous cysts that involves laser removal but goes in vaginally vs. requiring surgery. I can't find any details online. Has anyone heard of this? Is it even possible?
1570931 tn?1315840395 And ive been having an almost constant body ach for two days along with a bad back pain,(in my upper back and its normally in my lower back) took a hpt today and it was BFN Not sure what to think though, i dont normally get sharp pains like this so part of me is worried my cysts came back, (I used to get hormonal ovarian cysts when i was younger)
254714 tn?1316613355 i had done in Dec 2009 bilateral ocarian cysts areidentified once again. the right ovarian cyst appears complex vs two adjacent cysts with a combined cystic structure measuring 3.3*5.6*3.3 cm representing an interval increase in size greatest dimension of 4.2cm on 10/29/09 no color doppler blood flow is demonstrated nor nodularity internally. overall the right ovary measure 3.1*6.5*4.0 cm the left ovary is also slighty enlarged measuring 3.4*5.2*4.
Avatar f tn "In" is worse for the survival prognosis of the ovary.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn I hear that ovarian cysts have the same symptoms as pregnancy. Anyone have experience with them and can tell the difference?
Avatar f tn Any mom's have experiences with ovarian cysts during pregnancy? I haven't been diagnosed with an ultrasound yet but with my signs and symptoms I'm pretty sure I have one. I get stabbing pain in the same spot, near my right ovary a few times each day with certain movements and activities. 5 weeks tomorrow but I had the pain long before I was pregnant. From what I read they're fairly normal and insignificant?
1148191 tn?1271817646 I ovulated around the 1st of March, for a week after that I had dull cramping in my left side and than 7 days later i started getting what felt like period cramps. I went to the doctors and come to find out I have a cyst on my ovary, my question is I still think I might be pregnant, just how common are ovarian cysts in early pregnancy and is it possible that if I'm having pregnancy symptoms that I could still be pregnant.
Avatar n tn Currently, I have a 4cm on my left ovary and my symptoms are far more intense with this one vs. those in the past. I have gained approx. 5-7 pounds in the last few months and I can't stand how bloated my stomach is by the end of the day. I am having ovary pain on both sides, constant headachs, pelvic pain during BM's and I am incredibly constipated and hungry ALL the time. I am a runner and I teach pilates three hours a week.
Avatar n tn Your doctor will discuss the plan for surgery using all your test results and the size of you cysts combined. The size of the cysts also determine if you will have a laparotomy as opposed to a lapraroscopy. If a cyst is large it's usually done by laparotomy because it can't fit through the smaller instruments used in belly button surgery. I know this is a lot to try to digest right now, but try to take it one day at a time and keep in mind that 95% of ovarian cysts are benign.
Avatar f tn My sister has had ovarian cysts after having 4 babies over 10 years. It was a year ago when she has the cysts removed. Her dr. is having her checked again because she hasn't had a period in 5 months. She had her tubes tied so she can't get pregnant.
