I went for an ultrasound scan and the results came back to my doctors a week later so I made an appointment and she told me that I had a 4.6cm cyst on my left ovary so she has made an urgent appointment with a gynecologist as she is worried about the cyst I have. Related Reading: ultrasound

Two months after my miscarriage, I was diagnosed with endometriosis and PCOS. My doctor gave me medication that will help me ovulate, but three months later, I started having abdominal pain again. My doctor found that I have three cysts on my ovaries. The doctor said that I need to let it heal on its own without a surgery again, because it is only functional/simple cysts nothing to be worried about. But is still leaves me in pain, fever is high and I am unhappy, because I would like this to stop and get pregnant again. Related Reading: miscarriage | endometriosis | fever

I was in ER a few days ago with Lowe pelvis pain and severe back pain on the left side. After an ultrasound turns out I have a cyst on my left ovary measuring 8.5cm by 7.5 by 5cm, so the size of a small grapefruit. They won't do anything until I've had 2 menstrual cycles to see if it goes away. But in the meantime what do I do, I'm very active and they are telling me not to run and do what I enjoy. Not happy.
