Hi,

Last night i began experiencing extreamly sharp pain in my lower left quadrant . I am 19. ( I thought it was just a GI problem since I experience GI problems frequently, as well as suffer from acid reflux but am taking miralax as well as nexium and have been doing good), I went to the doctor and they found microscopic bloon in urine. So they send me thi smorning for an ultra sound where they found that I had a 2.5cm left ovarian cyst...they gave me percocet and a shot of pain med which they said i can keep getting if I need it before I got see my GYN.... they said it hadnt yet ruptured since they saw it on the ultrasound...the doctor tried telling me that I would know for SURE when it did rupture, but said that it wouldnt hurt, that istead i would know because i would feel a sense of relief.....is this true? I was wondering how i will know for sure when it does rupture? If it is going to be extreamly painful, I much rather be prepared for that then be lied to, so I was just wondering if anyone could help me out. thank you!

My two daughters had numerous bouts with ovarian cysts and all of them ruptured before any surgery.  They, too, experienced great relief after the cysts finally ruptured...so you're right on target.  They both were on birth control before AND after the cysts...they reported that they had less cysts AFTER the birth control was increased for a short time to taking it constantly without the 7 day rest for a period.  This allowed their ovaries to rest and not produce eggs.  The cysts are formed when the egg has a difficult time breaking out of the ovary.

Hope this helps!

I had numerous cysts (4 operations) and one time they did burst before the surgery.  They hurt like heck and I passed out at work.  Fortunately, I was working for a hospital at the time.  I don't know how many I may have had that burst without me knowing it.
