what to do if i know what an ovarian cyst is, i want to know what comes with having one?

Question

I've had ovarian cysts, and I know what it feels like. Will these same symptoms occur if I get one again?

Answer 1

Symptoms vary: Usually ovarian cysts occur due to some hormonal irregularities. Uncommonly, they can be tumors (benign or malignant). Some have no symptoms at all. Some cause pain or pressure type symptoms. Some can acutely rupture or twist and cause sudden, severe pain. They can also occur in conjunction with irregular periods or problems conceiving.

Answer 2

Ovarian cyst: Ovarian cysts can occur spontaneously in women, and will usually regress. If you have a persistent cyst for 3 months it should be checked out especially if a sonogram shows a solid component to the cyst. Persistent non malignant cysts can be drained either under sedation or general anesthesia using a transvaginal approach. Using bcp's will prevent cysts if you're prone to them.

Answer 3

See below.: There are different types of ovarian cysts. The most common are follicular cysts as they develop from normal ovarian follicles. These may resolve on their own but also may recur as new follicles fail to expell the egg & continue to grow. Birth controll pills may be able to reduce the chance of these cysts developing in future menstrual cycles.

Answer 4

Ovarian Cyst: Cysts may be asymptomatic for the most part and only discovered during a routine gyn examination. Occasionally they may present as a vague to severe abdominal pain. Some malignant ovarian cysts may also present as a gastric disturbance like bloating, eructations, dyspepsia.

Answer 5

Pain.: The main symptom would be pain, which can be severe if the cyst ruptures. Speak with your doctor. An easy way to check is to obtain a pelvic ultrasound.

Answer 6

Pain: An ovarian cyst can have no symptoms, it could just be discovered on an exam. A cyst could throw off a menstrual cycle: delay it or make it early. But it can also cause pain, or pain with intercourse, bloating, or pressure. If a cyst ruptures or twists on itself, you can have severe, crippling pain that sends you to the emergency room.

Answer 7

Your doctor: Your doctor can tell you if you have an ovarian cyst by taking your history, examining you and ordering an ultrasound.

Answer 8

Talk to your MD: Simple ovarian cysts are not uncommon and are normal part of the ovulation process. However, many ovarian cancers are also cystic. Therefore it is important to consult your doctor to assess the need for further investigation and removal.

Answer 9

Ultrasound: Discuss this with your doctor and negotiate an ultrasound to determine whether you have an ovarian cyst or not.

Answer 10

Fluid filled : Structure. Many ovarian cysts are part of normal reproductive cycle, others are due to tumors, benign and malignant. See this site for more information. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/ovarian-cysts/ds00129.

Answer 11

See below: There's not much to do for it. Using medicines like Motrin can help if you're experiencing pain. They usually resolve by themselves.

Answer 12

Cyst on an ovary: Ovarian cysts can form due to an imbalance of hormones during ones menstrual periods. I would recommend a check of hormones (possibly increasing progesterone) and some iodine/potassium iodide supplement.

Answer 13

Birth control: Ocps can help reduce ovarian cyst formation.

Answer 14

No: You do not say what was radiated, but i cannot fathom how a cyst could in any way be related to radiotherapy.
