I had a sudden loss of weight. I lost about eight kgs in two months was cause of development of ovarian cysts in my case!

Hello, my ovarian cyst started right from when I was 17 years old. Now that I am 28 years old, I still fele pain below my abdomen. The pain increased recently and it left me with no choice than to go for a scan. The first scan said it was hemorrhagic cyst and the doctor suggested a surgery. I wasn't convinced so I went for another scan and it said I have a cyst. It got me so scared that I went to see my doctor after, showing him the results.

I have had an ovarian cyst since I was 17 and I am now 25. I had pain in my left side where my ovary is & I also was having very painful menstrual cramps. I went to my gyno and she sent me out for ultrasounds (invasive and non-invasive), blood tests, manual exams. She said it was being caused because I wasn't producing enough hormones that help with the menstrual cycle. The cyst was large, however, was a fluid-filled cyst that only flared up right before my cycle. She placed me on birth control which helped control it, however, I asked what my options were if I wanted to go off the pill. She said surgery wouldn't be the first option because I am petite and that could cause scar tissue which leads to infertility. I did not have any birth control side effects until recently (after being on the same birth control for years) which have been severe migraines. I went back to my gyno who switched birth controls and it's helped, however, I think about what I will do when I want to get pregnant. My gyno told me most cysts resolve on their own and only last several months. My cyst has lasted years, however, I am told only to really worry if the cyst is solid. Make sure you ask your gyno what options you have and go from there & do not avoid getting the ultrasounds.

I developed cysts on my left ovary after my robotic hysterectomy. It was only 10 weeks after my surgery. My doctor told me they looked fined during my surgery, so I was a little confused that they started to give me problems so soon after.

My daughter is 19 years old, and was diagnosed with ovarian cysts two years ago, after multiple trips to the ER and her doctor. She has a history of irregular periods, and the BC pills that she was prescribed helped her at first. Unfortunately, the hormones in the pills triggered a condition called pseudo tumor cerebri (excess fluid on her brain that acted much like a tumor would), which in turn caused something called papillodema (swelling of her optic nerve caused by the pressure of the pseudotumor). Here is the problem: besides getting the swelling down, she can no longer take BC pills, or any kind of birth control. The hormones are what exacerbate her issues, and if she continued to use them, she would go blind. Unfortunately her cysts are back with a vengeance, and we are at a loss as to what to do. In addition, the pain does not respond to OTC pain relief medications.

I'm 34. I went to the hospital because I was having a lot of pain in my lower belly. The doctors there told me that I have ovarian cysts that burst. I'm so scared.

I had my two ovaries, womb, and cervix removed due to malignancy.

I recently visited ER because i had lower abdominal pain n had blood work n CT scan done. Ovarian cysts are what they saw. Now this is my second time going in for this problem. I am 23 years old and it has happened when i was 17 i believe. The first time they put me on an IV for 24 hours and the pain went away. The next day, I had followed up with an OB/GYN who put me on birth control and the cysts disappeared. But I just stopped the pills and the cysts came back! So i recommend being n staying on the pill. Especially if you are irregular because the pills make sure u get a period each month!! I am going to see the same OB/GYN for a second time! If you go to the ER, they will only send you home with pain medications and they won't get to the root of what the real problem is. I suggest, girls, that if you have these problems, go to a doctor who can do tests and see what's really going on. You don't have to suffer, but if you're having problems, you should be seen right away.
