A member asked:
I was diagnosed with 3&4 cm cysts on each of my ovaries. but now i'm constipated probably from the pain meds. is that normal. now i have more pain.

Yes, it's common ...: Becoming constipated when using narcotic, even non-narcotic, pain medications is very common. When they are prescribed, many doctors review constipation prevention: generous fluid intake, increase dietary fiber/take fiber supplements, increase physical activity. Pain often persists after presumed ovarian cyst rupture due to cyst fluid irritating abdominal cavity wall/peritoneum. Good wishes.
