Ovarian Cyst and Endo.

[cm071803]

5 years ago i had a ruptured cyst that led the doctor to do a laparoscopy where they found i had stage 1 endo.  Since then i've had a child, but now the doctor believes the endo has grown back.  My periods have been painful and irregular (i'm on the pill).  I've been bleeding for 2 weeks.  Last week i had a vaginal ultrasound done and they found a cyst on my left ovary that is the size of an orange (6x4 sonograms).  I go back next week in hopes that it decreased in size.  My question is that the past few days i've had some dull pain on the left side including my back and leg.  Sometimes the pains are sharp, but do go away.  Are these symptoms that the cyst might rupture?  Also, what are the chances that I will end up needing surgery?  Any info on this will help!!! Thanks.

thanks for the info.  i feel like i am having some discharge as well right now.  i just experienced some really bad pain in that area and my back.  when i went to the bathroom and wiped, there was a tiny bit of blood from my butt.  not a lot and it was only with the first wipe or two.  any idea what this can be from and should i be concerned?  also, is the pain normal w/a cyst?

how was your recovery from the surgery?  hope you are feeling better.
