A member asked:

For the past six months i have been experiencing pain near the right ovary, a heavy flow and an irregular period. could this be caused by a cyst?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be : Many different causes exist for the symptoms you described. Ovarian cysts are quite high on the list of possibilities. You should visit a gynecologist and should undergo a pelvic ultrasound. Urine analysis is also warranted.
