Pain on or by right ovary
I had a transvaginal ultrasound about two weeks ago which showed a tubular growth, liquid filled on or by my right ovary. They couldn't see my ovary and recommended another ultrasound in 6 weeks. I have had diahhrea for almost two months and for the past two weeks, I have been having pain about where my right ovary would be. Has anybody had this? I had a colonoscopy today and that was okay. They did a biopsy. Thanks for your help. I don't know if I should call the doctor and let him know I'm now having pain and it is also in my back and right let. I didn't have this when I first had the ultrasound. I am 57.
She is not going through anything at ALL like the women here are, not even CLOSE. She had some abnormal uterine cells. She makes a big deal out it. She likes making trouble and upsetting women here and she really gets a BIG kick out of repeatedly refer to us as castrated as she knows it upsets us. (If she didn't she would stop it.) She doesn't answer direct questions. She posts great huge long ridiculous copied and pasted diatribes that no one reads. Most of us just ignore her.
If you are going through a lot of the same things we are, why don't you share your story and offer support instead of being so robot like. Maybe we could offer you support since this is a support group, not a medical class. Kasie
I'm a medical researcher and a woman dealing with much of what you all are. I share evidence based information for those who haven't as much time to research as I do, probably because they have a different job. I don't research men's health though, except as it compares to women's health, so I don't offer the fruits of my labor there.
It looks like your doctor is taking a reasonable approach. Many women have cysts throughout their reproductive years, and they are very common at and post-menopause. Those types of cysts usually resolve in the recommended waiting period, although yes, they can be painful.
Here is some information on ovarian cysts which can help you with questions to ask your doctor. I know it answered many questions I had. The big important message here is most cysts are not cancer.
Hope this is helpful.

WHAT ARE OVARIAN CYSTS?
An ovarian cyst is simply a collection of fluid within the normally solid ovary. There are many different types of ovarian cysts, and they are an extremely common gynecologic problem. Because of the fear of ovarian cancer, cysts are a common cause of concern among women. But, it is important to know that the vast majority of ovarian cysts are not cancer and almost all ovarian cysts will go away by themselves without any treatment. However, some benign cysts will require treatment and in quite rare cases others may be cancerous.
WHAT CAUSES MOST OVARIAN CYSTS?
The most common types of ovarian cysts are called functional cysts, which result from a collection of fluid forming around a developing egg. For unknown reasons, sometimes the cells that surround an egg in the ovary form too much fluid that expands the ovary from within. If fluid continues to be formed, the ovary is stretched as if a balloon was being filled up with water. The normally white covering of the ovary becomes thin and smooth and appears bluish-gray. These cysts, called follicular cysts, may rarely become as large as 3 or 4 inches. The majority of these cysts, even the large ones, go away by themselves after a month or two.
Every month, after ovulation, the cells in the ovary form a structure called the corpus luteum. These cells can also produce too much fluid and form a cyst. The good news is that, like follicular cysts, practically all corpus luteum cysts will go away by themselves in a few weeks.

Hi there, post menopausal women are not advised to wait and watch for long once a cyst is discovered. My doc told me 90 days MAX and that is only if the cyst is not growing. I think it is good you are following up with another ultrasound.

Cysts can cause gastrointestinal problems... Some people get diarrhea, others constipated. It just depends on how your body reacts. Have they done a transvaginal ultrasound to see if you have cysts on your ovaries?
Thank you. Would worsening diahhrea in the past couple of weeks mean anything? It has gotten so I'm almost afraid to go anyplace. Could it have anything to do with an ovary? The doctor who did my colonoscopy wants to wait for the results of the biopsy and then do a barium? something so he can see my upper colon. When I first had the ultrasound and they saw the tubular growth on or over my ovary, I didn't have any pain, but it definitely has gotten worse. Enough so most of the time I take Ibuproprian. I hate to be a pest, but I'm also scared to wait another month for another ultrasound. The GYN doctor said waiting a month wouldn't affect my mortaility. Should I wait until after the other doctor does the other test on my upper intestines?
Thanks again for your help.
