Question: Has anyone had cysts on their ovaries!? Or heard of that!?
When I was 15, I went on birth control due to horrific menstrual problems!. One of my main problems was the lower back pain that is associated with my period!. When I mentioned this to my doctor at the time, he said something about possibly having cysts on my ovaries, and that they are bleeding during my period, causing my pain!. He never said anything more about it though, and I brushed it off!. I'm 20 now, and I still have the lower back pain!. It's not as painful as when I wasn't taking the pill, but the pain is more persistent!. Rather than having it only during my period, I have it about 2 weeks out of the month, sometimes more!. Has anyone heard of having cysts on their ovaries!? I'm needing to know if I should go to a physician right away!. I'm scheduled to go in for my annual in 3 months!. I wondered if I should wait until then to mention it, or it needed immediate attention!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have had a number of bilateral ovarian cysts (which included functional (simple cysts) and hemorrhagic and endometrioma cysts (complex cysts)) over the past 10 years!. I have needed surgery for 2 of these cysts because they didn't resolve after a few cycles (as they usually do resolve after a few cycles on their own) and have a number of ovarian cysts rupture over the years causing intense pelvic pain!.
Ovarian cysts are usually a common and harmless swelling of one or both ovaries!. These cysts most often occur in women who are between puberty and menopause, when the ovaries are in high gear propelling out mature eggs!. The term functional means the cyst is not caused by any underlying disease or disorder, and that it will possibly resolve (shrink and disappear) on its own in a few weeks!.
Some functional ovarian cysts have no symptoms and are discovered, if at all, during routine pelvic exams!. Others can cause symptoms, including changes in the menstrual cycle, including shorter or longer periods, skipped periods, and/or spotting between periods, pelvic pain or ache, especially during sexual intercourse or at the start or finish of menstruation, feelings of nausea or queasiness or breast tenderness!.
I recommend that if you have any concerns regarding your ovarian cysts and have any of the symptoms as listed above, that you see a gynaecologist for further evaluation!. If you suffer from severe period cramping and pelvic pain, I would recommend asking your gynaecologist about a condition called endometriosis!.

When I was 16 I would get horrific pain in my abdominal area, it would cause me to double over!. I had lots of test run and finally had a laprascope done!. The ob/gyn that did the surgery told my parents that I produced ovarian cysts that filled up with hormones and they would burst and the liquid it left behind would cause the pain until my body absorbed the liquid!. This would happen every month!. He also told us that once I got pregnant, it may ease up!. I'm much much older now and I can tell you from experience, it has pretty much gone away!. So, yes, this is very possible and not anything you need to rush to your doctor for, but I would mention it at your next exam!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
