Pcos and Pain???

http://women.webmd.com/tc/polycystic-ovary -syndrome-pcos-symptoms

According to webMD, pain is a symptom of PCOS. Especially if you actually have any cysts. But it's worth talking to a doctor about- and especially talking with a doctor about ways to treat the PCOS and not just the pain. You don't want to be on pain medication the rest of your life!!

Check out this link, there's a lot of good information.

In Feb of this year,I was diagnosed with PCOS and type 2 diabetes. I'm lucky if I get a period every 3-4 months.I have bad acne, weight loss and weight gain. I have been off work for over a month now with severe pain. I have had an colonoscopy, ultrasound, sonogram, and now I'm having a biopsy this week.Any info anyone could share with me please... I'm starting to get depressed.

im 17 i had real bad pains in my lower sides of ,my stomach near my hips and i have been told i have pcos, the lady who did the ultra sound also said you shouldnt get pain fromm them but im in agony, sick of taking bloody paraceamol or co codamol xx

hi kiki99, i'm 27 and was diagnosed with pcos when i was 15. it is hereditary, both my sisters have it and regardless what the docs say unfortunately you do get agonising pain from it. if i were you, i'd ask to get refered to a gyny asap and ask for an ultasound and blood test to confirm it, especially if your mother has it. they'll be able to discuss treatment plans with you. don't just opt for the pill until you've researched all the treatments though. they may not be for you yet, but you may need to look into them in the future. good luck. x

I'm a 17 year old girl i had the same symptoms that you described, i was lucky to get my period at least once a year then early this year i got it and it didn't ever go away i had it permanently so i went on the pill, my mother has polycystic ovaries and i've heard its hereditary does this look like PCOS to you and what would happen to me if i went untreated?

this sounds like what i have, but its norw progressed and i seem to have worse pains, i was put on mycrogynon, they regulate my period but seem to not be helping the situation. no one in my family has this so looks like im the starting generation (my poor daughter) so, if you get pain or any worries no matter how little always consult your doctor, also my stomach swells i mean to the point i look about 7 months preg and it feels like im going to pop, if you get this go doctors xx good luck

ok so had aonising pain could not even walk or sit up, been hospital, now waiting for another ultra sound to see if cysts have got bigger or ruptured. worried if its not my ovaries although i dont want it to be lol, as after sex ihave bled, which is new and the pains are back getting very tired and finding it difficult to sleep with my baby as she does not understand i need rest because im unwell, she herself is 2 weeks post open heart surgery. i was wondering if cysts causies or this much pain, fatigue and illness like feeling sick and passing out, would they remove my ovaries or could it be something to do with my womb? xxxx

I was diagnosed with PCOS last September after an ultrasound scan. My GP told me that PCOS causes pain because the cysts can pop and release fluid into the abdomen/ pelvis which shouldn't be there and this is what causes the pain. I was amazed to hear my GP confirm this as websites and other doctors disagree. If the medical community took PCOS seriously like my GP maybe better treatments would be developed. Currently I am on co-cyrindiol and metformin along with tramadol, paracetemol and naproxen for pain which seems to help but I still get pain.

I am 29 i got told by my doctor i pcos and they is no treatment for it and he said i can have kids and my boyfriend has low sperm i need help

I was super frustrated when my doctor told me there is nothing I can do for PCOS, that it was hereditary and even though hard, and almost impossible I should lose as much weight as I can. I have gained 6 inches only in my waistline in 3 months I have been reading, researching and talking to different OBGYNs (everyone tells you different) and what I've came to a conclusion is that all doc's treat PCOS with diabetic medications (Metformin is prescribed to diabetics to control the sugar levels in their blood).

So I have gone on low carb diet (kind of like Atkins but I eat between 40 to 100 grams of carbs per day instead of only 20 grams) to control the levels of blood sugar, also to keep my insulin levels low and not have excess insulin that creates unbalances hormone levels thus weight gain. Excess insulin stimulates the ovaries to produce large amounts of the male hormone testosterone, which may prevent the ovaries from releasing an egg each month, thus causing infertility (also cause acne).

I have been on this regimen for 10 days. I have lost 10 lbs and I DO NOT crave sugar. That was my biggest hurdle. That and pain that would paralyze my body and I would throw up after an hour. I have taken 5 Ibrophens and 2 Midols in one hour and I was in blinding pain the entire time. I had cystic acne that would leave my face like a pizza. I have not had any zits or inflammations since I started 10 days ago. I have added Inositol, the herb Ashwagandha and Berberine to control PCOS/insulin symptoms. I cant wait to schedule an ultra sound and see how is affecting the cyst growth. I am done with this misery and I want it gone!!!! Hope it works for all of you!

Hi, I know it is late to reply as you posted this 3 weeks ago, but when you mention you are on a low carb diet, you then go on to say you eat more than you should do. I may have misunderstood this, but have you basically cut all carbs? Rice, bread, potatoes, pasta etc?

Also you state near the bottom that you don't crave sugar, have you cut this out as well?

I could really do with help and you seem positive about your method and seem to be doing well

Doctors say you shouldn't have bad pain having pcos...hmmmm erm yes you can. Take it from me you can... irritable to and moody. It can make you feel like c***

My teenage daughter 15 has been diagnosed with PCOS, her liver has also been affected and she has hyperglacemia as a result. She suffers terrible pain. She is on the pill (after the doctor tried other treatments that were ineffective) for 6 months now and is much better. She suffers terrible pain I really think PCOS should be taken more seriously. She gets really bad headaches because of the insulin related problems as well.

What makes the pain go away? Help i have pain :'(

I am 45 and was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 32. Yes there is pain with this disease. I am very careful of my diet, I exercise regularly and it helps tremendously. I suffered the symptoms in my 20's , was In and out of emergency rooms with pain, with no diagnosis. I had severe acne and was put on the pill Diane which made a big difference. My periods started late when I was 15 and were never regular. I could skip a year quite easily with nothing. I tried to have a baby, went through the fertility drugs etc. managed to get pregnant once but miscarried. Had no success after that. It was through an appointment With a gynaecologist for a bad bladder infection that I discovered I had PCOS. At that point I was off the pill, was sent to an endrocynologist and put on spironolactone. The disease calmed down and I was symptom free for several years. My Dr. Decided to put me back on the pill because my periods had stopped. This was a mistake. My hair got thin and brittle, I was cold all the time, I couldn't remember things, I was so tired I couldn't even make a meal at the end of the day, I was an emotional wreck, paranoid. After 4 months of trying different blood tests to find out what was wrong it was discovered my estrogen level had dropped dramatically. I am now on estrogen, have been for about 4 years now. My hair is finally getting better. My periods are more regular as well. My PCOS symptoms have been under control for the most part. Until recently. The pain is back in the last couple days. My last period was a month late And heavier then normal. Right now my right side is feeling a lot of pressure, I get sharp jabs of pain, and a constant dull ache of pain. I have been nauseated for the past 24 hours. I am hoping it will pass soon as I assume a small cyst may have burst. I am not sure what to take for the pain. In the past I have always just endured it and fought through it, but this time am needing something even to take the edge off. Maybe now that I am getting older I'm not as tolerate as I once was. Any suggestions?
