Question 1

my thyroid level is 13.21 h my b12 is 1793 h i have a ovarian cyst. can this all be related?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid disease: Any thyroid abnormality, whether excessive thyroid hormone or less than normal can affect a woman's menstrual cycle, but either  does not generally cause ovarian cysts. Your B12 level will not cause an ovarian cyst.  Ovarian cysts are spontaneous, and at 56, may require surgery to diagnose the cause.  See your physician for advice soon.

Question 2

ovarian cyst - i have ovarian cysts (checked by doctor) and thyroid disease (under control). mercilon's is ok to be taken?

Accepted Answer

Birth control: If you are under 35, do not smoke and have no other problems, yes any birth control pill is ok. If you are 35 or over and smoke, you need a pill without estrogen.

Question 3

i was diagnosed with a 1.4 cm hemorrhagic ovarian cyst.  i have a history of thyroid cancer.  can these cysts ever be cancerous? thank you

Accepted Answer

Yes: Ovarian cancers can be and often are cystic. However, you should discuss this with your doctor as small cysts with hemorrhage are far commoner than ovarian cancers. In the mean time you may consult this site for information on this topic.

Question 4

can an underactive thyroid and an ovarian cyst(10cm)have anything to do with each other, also period 1 week late, could either of these be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Underactive and untreated hypothyroidism can cause late or delayed menstrual cycles.  The thyroid has no relationship, however, to the formation of an ovarian cyst.  Your cyst, at 10cm, is at risk of rupturing or turning on itself, called torsion.  Have you spoken to a doctor about having the cyst drained or removed?  No roller coasters, i've seen patients with big cysts get torsion from a coaster.

Question 5

23 yof with hot flashes, osteopenia, thinning hair and now ovarian cyst... thyroid is fine... any ideas? not on bc

Accepted Answer

Several issues: There are several areas that should be explored with your doctor.  First, get evaluated for a hormonal imbalance.  With thinning hair and an ovarian cyst, the diagnosis of pcos is possible.   The osteopenia is concerning because of your age but can be caused by some sort of nutritional deficiency, such as vitamin d deficiency or celiac disease (causing difficulty with absorption of vitamins).

Question 6

shortness of breath , fever and burning in my entire abdomen ... worse by smoking and eating. pain also in head neck and back ... history of ovarian cysts and endometriosis and ideas ?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: You need to be seen face to face, have a detailed history and physical exam and perhaps some lab tests and imaging studies. This cannot and should not be diagnosed over the internet. You sound quite ill and should do this asap. Hope this will be self-limiting and you will be better soon.

Question 7

i'm facing some problem. can an ovarian cyst cause vagina for itching?

Accepted Answer

Not likely.: Vaginal itching symptoms are probably caused by infection or irritation, unrelated to ovarian cyst.

Question 8

i have ovarian cyst 19mm. can this cause any problems in getting pregnant? i never had hormonal problems.

Accepted Answer

Pretty small: That is a very small cyst. Obviously your doctor will need to address your specific situation but in general that cyst is so small it would be hardly noticeable.

Question 9

after successful ovarian cyst removal operation my weight increase upto 12kg can u give me reason for this problem & reduce my wieght through cycling?

Accepted Answer

No Relation: Surgery  and or cyst removal should not affect your weight at all. It is possible as a result of surgery you are less active. But would definitely see your doctor since weight loss should not result from surgery.

Question 10

i was diagnosed with 5.2 cm ovarian cyst. it doesn't cause me problems, i didn't even know that before the ultrasound. is surgery necessary?

Accepted Answer

Cysts will resolve: Small cysts on the ovary are very common.  The overwhelming majority will resolve on their own without surgery. Although they may hurt the best treatment is to take Ibuprofen for the pain and to wait to see if it goes away. Usually obgyns will repeat the sonogram 6-8 weeks later to confirm the cyst has resolved.
