Question 1

what is the cause of hemorrhagic ovarian cysts? ovulation? if i'm on pill, do i get it?

Accepted Answer

Hemorrhagic ovaries: The usual cause of these type of cysts is ovulation.  If you're on BCP's (you don't ovulate), and you shouldn't have the problem.

Question 2

does hemorrhagic cysts cause infertility?

Accepted Answer

Generally not: If its a functional cyst; could depend on what type of cyst it is.

Question 3

does a hemorrhagic cyst cause spotting?  been spotting for 3 weeks and it changed from light pink to drk red. my  dr., didn't  really explain anything

Accepted Answer

It may: If the hemorrhagic cyst is a luteal cyst you may spot off and on. Often, heavier bleeding is a sign that the cyst has resolved (gone away.) Keep in touch with your gyn doctor during this time.

Question 4

can hemorrhagic cyst cause ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Hemorrhage occurs routinely in the cyst formed at ovulation. While a hemorrhagic cyst can be the result of a cancer, hemorrhagic cyst, per se, does not cause cancer.

Question 5

can a hemorrhagic cyst cause bladder infections?

Accepted Answer

No: Bladder infections are caused by urogenital bacteria ascending the urethra.  A hemorrhagic cyst would have nothing to do with it.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Ans: There are many possibilities for the bleeding. First you must be sure it is not vaginal. If not then go to doctor and have a urine dip. Hydrate and see if blood resolves if not further testing is needed

Question 7

if i get hemorrhagic cysts while on pill, what does that mean? pill is not working? i heard the type of cyst is caused by ovulation. always have cramp

Accepted Answer

OCP: Most hemorrhagic ovarian cysts are corpora lutea, which occur after ovulation. Combination OC (estrogen + progestin) usually suppress ovulation, though not always, esp. with lower estrogen pills. Progestin-only pills do not stop ovulation. OCP are effective contraception because they have other contraceptive effects. SO..."working" depends on why you use the pills. Hope this helps.

Question 8

i was diagnosed with a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst. i have read this type of cyst can cause an infection what should i watch for?

Accepted Answer

Not usual: Hemorrhagic cysts are common, usually do not require treatment and do not cause infection. Pelvic infection is usually associated with pain (both sides) and fever.

Question 9

does the 2.9cm hemorrhagic ovary cyst causes any pink or brown color discharge ten days before my periods are expected??

Accepted Answer

No: The hemorrhagic cyst is inside the abdominal cavity and any bleeding from that cyst is retained inside the abdominal cavity.  Any blood coming from the vagina originates in the uterus or the vagina, not from the abdominal cavity.  However, the cyst can be related to ovulation and ovulation can cause some transient spotting from the uterus which would show up as pink or brown vaginal discharge.

Accepted Answer

Pos pt is real: congratulations! The hemorrhagic corpus luteum cyst does not produce false positive results.
