Recently Found Out I Had Ovarian Cyst
Posted: 02-03-06 23:46pm

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for about 6 months now and no luck yet. I recently found out last month that I had some ovarian cyst to burst. I had a ct and they said that it was several that had bursted. I have an apt with my gyno on the 23rd of feb. That is the earliest I could get in. I have been having severe pain, nausia, lower back pain, weight gain and have been very light headed.. Today I was suppose to start. I usually have very normal periods that are on time every month. Today I have been very nausiated and had severe back pain with lots of discharge. The pain is so bad that it takes me a few mins to get up. I was just wondering if anyone here has any idea what is going on. I am very new to this. I dont know anyone with ovarain cyst. So if anyone could just give me their input on what they think is going on it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

My own personal opinion and I am no Dr., but I would either let your Dr. Realize that this could be an emergency as I do not know much about ovarian cysts and see if he could squeeze you in or try to get in to see another Dr. Or go to the e.R. Their is no need to suffer like you are doing! I would be a little leary of an infection!
Please let us know what you find out!
You are in my thoughts!

i would suggest if these symptoms keep up make a list of what all your feeling and go straight to the er. :(

I had an ovarian cyst to rupture last week, last wednesday. I had three trips to the er because of it. The first trip I was in horrible pain, my fiancee and myself had just went and got some breakfast. We came home and I laid on the couch, because I was having horrible back pains and I started hurting really bad in my stomach. The past two years the doctors have told me I have had everything from ulcers to ibs to simply gas. They never checked my ovaries.


When I got to the er they started doing tests on me, they did an ultrasound and I felt like my bladder was about to bust because I had to pee sooo bad. The ultrasound tech told me she was glad I spoke up because I was about to have to get a catheter, and she told me my bladder looked almost completely full. They didn't find the ruptured cyst, but from the fluid on my bladder they found with the ultrasound they could tell this is what had happened. They told me to stay away from caffeine. They also gave me birthcontrol to regulate my hormones, this is suppose to help cyst from forming. The doctor told me usually cyst go away by themselves but I had been really stressed and stress can cause them to rupture.


The very next day thursday, I was doing okay my right ovary was hurting from the cyst rupturing, and my lower back but I didn't feel that bad. Well my stomach started swelling. I was eating watermelon and drinking water. I felt like I was about to bust to pee, I went to the bathroom, and I couldn't pee at all. I called the er and they said come immediately. So when I got there I tried several times to use the bathroom, but nothing, they had to put a catheter in me. The bad started felling up instantly. My doctor was on call at the er this day luckily, and he gave me a choice to stay in the hospital or go home. I choose to go home because my fiancee could help take care of me and his parents as well.

The doctor told me the cyst caused my bladder to basically stop working, and it could have caused my kidneys as well if I hadn't came on it.

Both trips to the er they gave me a shot of dimeral and pain medicine, and antiobiotics. My doctor told me to come back monday to get the catheter taken out. I was fine with that.


Well I didnt' make it to monday, I was back up in the er saturday in serious pain once again from the cyst and the catheter. A foreign doctor was on call. And he basically gave me a shot that did nothing for me and sent me home.


Well monday I went in to see my doctor, and the first thing I asked was how long does this pain last from a ruptured cyst. He told me the recovery would take atleast two weeks.

Today is sunday, and I am still in serious pain, he wrote me a prescription of pain pills but now since I have been taking last wednesday of last week they don't really help out any. I am scheduled to see him this wednesday to get my ovaries checked. You are suppose to go back in ten days to get a checkup to see how everything is going, when a cyst ruptures. But now I believe I have one forming on my left ovary because I have a pain on it like I did my right one, after it ruptured. And I have been pretty stressed the past couple of days. Whenever I go to the restroom the pressure of peeing hurts my ovaries.


I am going to ask my doctor about all of these problems when I see him wednesday. I hope this has helped. I am very young only 18 and very worried, but you can start having cyst form as soon as you start your period, and they believe I have had them every since I was 16 but they never checked my ovaries once.

Luckily I have medicaid. But if your still having problems please go back to your doctor. Because my doc told me they can form often, and even more so if you get stressed easily.


Once again I hope this has helped. :)
