Yes someone as young as you can have ovarian cancer, my 18 year old niece has it and probably has had it for a year or more. It is very unusual and rare but it can happen. Please get yourself to the doctors and get checked. Good luck.

I see why you're worried. I'm eighteen and i've been scared about something similar for the last few months. I guess I might be too worried but I keep going back to the doctors. An ultrasound has suggested I have an enlarged ovary which may be caused by a cyst. I'm going back to the doc's again asap. I'm going to find answers no matter how frightening it is. I don't know about your situation but I can see why you're scared, so just wanted to mention, you're not on your own. And there's not nessecarily anything badly wrong with us yet.

I just found out yesterday I had a cyst it ruptured. I have had sever stomach pains for two years. The doctors have ran all types of test on me. Yesterday morning I started hurting really bad and was rushed to the er. They did an ultra sound and didn't see anything but luckly I spoke up and said my bladder felt really full and I needed to pee. They didn't find the cyst. But they found the fluid.

They gave me birthcontrol. How long does this usually last the pain? Because I feel so weak today and can barley move without wanting to cry. They gave me ten loratab's 7.5 . What can be done for cyst's, I found this site trying to find out answers because of my stomach problems. I have been bascially blown off for two years, with oh its kidney stones, bladder infections and such. The only reason they even checked my ovaries was because I started crying when the lady touched the lower part of my stomach.

It really upsets me because I had asked many times for the doctor and the specialist to please do a full scan and they would only do the area that was hurting at the time.

:cry: what are cyst caused from? There is also a history of people in my family who suffer from hernia's? Can a hernia cause a cyst? :?:
