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)
Avatar m tn Ended up having stage 3 endo, ovarian cysts (pcos), as well as uterine fibroids/cysts. They used a laser on the endo that they could, removed the ovarian cysts & did a d&c. It has helped some, mostly with the pain during sex, but as much pain as it was causing some improvement is better than none. Since I'm ttc there isn't any treatment I can take long term and I still suffer from all of these issues and they are likely the reason I am having so much difficulty conceiving.
Avatar f tn Was that a transvaginal ultrasound? The problem with larger cysts is that they can twist or rupture and that is extremely painful.. Please don't worry about cancer at this stage of the game. There are a lot of other symptoms with Ovarian Cancer ; bloating, feeling of fullness, gastric problems, etc. Remember that 95 % of all cysts are benign...
Avatar f tn I fear you may have one of many possible conditions going on here. Ovarian Cysts are painful but typically not harmful. however, with a history of them, you may be ignoring signs of a more serious condition. The sudden large ammount of weight loss, is a worry as well. I think you should go see your OB/Gyn as soon as possible, but if you refuse to go due to insurance, you need to look into local medical programs. I am for example, a critical care nurse at a county hopspital.
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 Ovarian cysts can be very painful - however with everything else going on have they suggested any treatment for you? I would recommend making an appt with your doctor or even a second opinion to see what all is going on. In the meantime, one thing you can do is start keeping a journal of al of your symptoms. Be as specific as possible about what cycle day you are on, pain level, what the pain feels like, how long it lasts and what you do/take for it, and where the pain is.
Avatar f tn My doctor doesn’t seem to worry because I’m not currently trying to have a baby but I am worried about no period and all my ovarian cysts since they are extremely painful does anyone have any suggestions on a kind of specialist I should see or what tests they should do or anything and experiences?
Avatar f tn I would say that you do have symptoms of an ovarian cyst, but those are also symptoms of other problems as well. I will be anxious to find out what the ultrasound says. I am sorry that you are feeling so badly!! I hope you get some relief soon.
Avatar f tn I'm not an expert but it does look like she has two ovarian cysts with one being a dermoid cyst. These can cause a lot of symptoms and hopefully she is now set to get this dealt with. Do take a look at the health pages (top right) for info on types of cysts and symptoms. In her case it is likely they will use a laparoscope and remove the cysts. What did they say the next steps were? It is likely that MedHelp will move your posting to the Ovarian Cyst forum.
Avatar f tn Try not to worry. Ovarian cysts are very common and most are benign. It would be very unlikely for you to have a malignancy without more signs and symptoms. It is standard for the doctors to ask about your family history of cancer. I hope all goes well! Keep us posted on how you are doing!
Avatar f tn Did your doctor not follow up on this ultrasound? The odds are good you don't have it but you should have another transvaginal ultrasound to know your current status. The symptoms of ovarian cancer and cysts are very similar. In many cases they can't be sure until a cyst is removed and biopsied. Please don't ignore this.
Avatar f tn This will give them a good view of your ovary and any cysts that you may have. Please rest assured that ovarian cysts and cancer have most of the same symptoms. 95% of ovarian cysts are non cancerous. It is common to have pain during exercise, sex, and sitting for long periods of time when you have an ovarian cyst. Please keep us updated on how you are doing.
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 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?
Avatar n tn At different times in your cycle your cervix will be high or it will come down low. Also, it could be ovarian cysts. I get these a lot!! And when I have sex even though the sex itself doesn't hurt, but when (sorry tmi) he's thrusting inside of me, while he's in as far as he can go will hurt and I can feel the pressure pain around my ovaries. Have you ever been told that you have had ovarian cysts before? They're quite common and they come and go during your cycles.
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 Ovarian cysts are extremely common - so do not worry. However, they can also be extremely painful and can grow extremely large. Each month, when a woman ovulates, small follicles form on the outer part of the ovary. These follicles look like little marbles almost through an ultrasound. Now, during your period - these follicles are, keyword here 'supposed' to break free with the lining of your period but for some women, they do not.
Avatar f tn I am 44 years old. I had a hysterectomy 4 years ago for fibroids. I have a history of ruptured cysts. Since the surgery I've had issues with painful sex, bladder urgency, trouble emptying bladder and bowel issues. Over the last year I started having severe bloating, nausea, and lower back pain. I started to wonder if I was having trouble with cysts again. I got an ultrasound last week and learned I have a cyst on both ovaries. One is hemorrhagic.
Avatar n tn Hi, I have had problem with period aswell as right side abdomen pain on and off since my twenties.My symptoms have got worse as the years past ,heavy painful periods ,clots and right side hip pain. I have also been under a great deal of personal stress . In March my doctor sent me for lots of blood tests including full blood count ,all came back normal ,also had a smear in May/June with the extra hpv test this came back clear.
Avatar f tn I used to get ovarian cysts on a regular basis, and they were so painful I would pace the floor, unable even to sit down. My doctor would check each time, and each time, there would be a cyst. (It was also clearly the cysts because some months I would get them on the left, and some months on the right.
Avatar m tn You need to go see your gyn and have a pelvic ultrasound to see if you have ovarian cysts. Cysts can cause all the symptoms that you describe. You might check out the ovarian cyst forum. Make an appt with your gyn asap. good luck and let us know how you make out.
Avatar f tn as opposed to cysts only hurt during certain times of month? My gyno. says not to worry about my ovarian cyst on my remaining left ovary that she thinks is NOT a chocolate cyst, though the u/s tech (who has been a u/s tech for 15 yrs. and showed me the cyst and other funtional clear cysts-you could see the difference easily! and I have had a choc. cyst before that ruptured, needing emergency surgery-2 pints of blood ended up in my abdomen). The ER Dr. also concurred it is a choc.
Avatar m tn Thank you for getting back to me. I seen my gastroenterologist specialist yesterday who had send me for the CT Scan in the first place as he thought my symptoms were gynecological. He is arranging for me to get into see a gynecologist ASAP as he thinks i need exploratory surgery in that area and and am having a pelvic ultra sound. I have already in the past had a ruptured right ovarian cyst has well as a bartholins cyst removed twice on the right side within a two month period.
