Avatar f tn The pain can be because of post-operative adhesions, infection, ovarian cysts etc. An ultrasound scan may be necessary to make a diagnosis. Consult a gynaecologist for an evaluation. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn However, since i learn that HCG is a hormone that shows up in pregnancy women, so i wonder if taking HCG will has side effect to my ovarian cysts, for example, HCG will makes my cysts bigger or more complicated? Looking forward to hear back from you. I do appreciate your help.
Avatar f tn Another possibility is an ovarian cyst. Thankfully most cysts go away on their own within 2 to 3 cycles. But if your symptoms become debilitating, please see a doctor.
Avatar f tn Most times when the cysts are the size of yours they will wait a month or two and redo the ultrasound to see if they have resolved. There is some good info on cysts on the health pages attached to this forum (top right). Good luck with everything.
Avatar f tn Unfortunately, far too many women lose an ovary or ovaries for benign ovarian cysts causing permanent health problems and reduced quality of life. This link is helpful - http://ovaryresearch.com/ovarian_cysts.htm. Some radiology sites are helpful in explaining the traits of various types of cysts.
Avatar f tn I am sorry you are going through this. I had an ovarian cyst and wish my gynecologist had taken a conservative approach. Instead, I was rushed into surgery and over-treated. Scar tissue is a real risk. And there are other risks such as losing the ovaries and their life-long vital functions. Or even if the ovaries are not removed, the surgery could affect their function.
393685 tn?1425812522 We generally post links to other sites that can explain in more professional detail the issues we have with Ovarian Cancer or ovarian cysts. I don't know what problems you have had on your HPages, but we would not want anyone messing with ours. We have gone to a lot of trouble to make sure that accurate info from reputable institutions are being added to the healthpages.
Avatar f tn wonder if it could be your ovary or appendix (ovarian cysts can feel uncomfortable to extremely painful) the only reason I added appendix is it's in that same general area yet I know you'd have great discomforts if that were the case. i ended up in ER w/ ovarian cyst thinking it was my appendix, which all started with some discomfort and within days/week became overwhelming. not sure if that helps at all...
Avatar f tn Hi, im 18 years old 160 lbs (now 175 lbs) and have a fairly healthy lifestyle. For the past year, ive suffered with sharp shooting pains in my pelvis, and a sciatic like pain down my left buttock and leg. I frequently get pains in my lower back, and it always seem very tender and sore. 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.

564029 tn?1216423219 There are different types of cysts, you can go to the link on the top of this page on the right that says health forum, and there is a list for all types of ovarian cysts. Did your dr. tell you what kind of cyst you have? Have you had a TV/US? During your reproductive years it is very common to get functional ovarian cysts that can disappear after a few menstrual cycles. Could it be your doctor is doing a watchful waiting to see if they go away? How long have you had the cyst?
Avatar f tn thank you.regards....
Avatar n tn i read on a medical web page not long after finding out that i myself have a hemmhoragic cyst on my left ovary that fertility drugs can help to cause ovarian cysts because most ovarian cysts are caused by the eggs not making it all the way out of the ovary or something of that sort and they just kind of pile up inside of the ovary and form a cyst. however, i did read that most ovarian cysts go away sometime during ovulation.
Avatar f tn The pain, an ovarian cyst can provide. But the bleeding? I've had a lot of ovarian cysts in my day and never once did any of them bleed. Bleeding like a period (or a little less) sounds like a progesterone drop for whatever reason. If the op's natural hormone levels shifted slightly downward, that could have caused a not-enough-progesterone situation that has caused the bleeding.
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.
621010 tn?1221508226 I go to to my GI and he tells me that I need to go to a gyn-oncologist, because I have ovarian cysts. I had a transvaginal ultrasound today, and the tech, said it looked like grapes. That scares me. I am wondering if that is a normal sounding cyst?
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 n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn Hi, All this is troublesome, I know. What did your doctor say? Are they doing any other tests? If you would please give a little more info, maybe it would be easier to answer you. Also, this is the ovarian cancer forum. Please post on the ovarian cyst forum. If you scroll down a little you'll see on the right side there is a link to it. And, if you scroll up a bit, you'll see the Health Pages link where more information is given on cysts, etc.
Avatar n tn Hi, It's very possible that this isn't necessarily a "functional" cyst. It could be just a simple cyst or some other type. I'm post menopausal --- way post menopausal and I had a cyst last January. Check out the top right of this page where it says "Health Pages" . There is a lot of information on cysts and remember that 95% of cysts are benign, as mine was. They may want to monitor it every 3 months or so to check for any changes.. but try not to worry .
Avatar n tn Hi: My last ultrasound find a uterine myoma. In the right ovarian an a follicular cysts and the left ovarian an anechoic cyst. What's that's mean?
Avatar f tn Hi there. You've come to the right place. Relax. They are saying you have a tipped uterus (very common), small fibroids (also very common and ignored unless get big and cause a lot of bleeding) in your uterus, the 2.6 cm possible dermoid cyst (this is small and can likely be removed via laporascope and over 95% are benign) and a small cyst on your left ovary which is something that happens every month as a byproduct of ovulation (normal).
