Recurring cyst

I have a couple of questions for you my daughter is 13 years old and has her period since she was 10 with no problems with it......until last year when she got her first cyst which they removed with no problems....... This year in April she got another one which they decided to drain because of the pain it was causing....3 weeks later she had recurring pain and said they thought the ovary had closed over and was now refilling with fluid again they left her for 4 weeks this time (on morphine, codeine ,panadol, diclofenac.) we spent this time on leave from hospital but mostly in hospital.....the pain got to bad so they went back in to remove the cyst........they turned the ovary inside out and completely removed the cyst.......while they were there they burnt of what they questioned might be (endo).so we came home feeling like it was over for her... Symptoms are right side pain all the time nausea with pain and with meds.....vomits most night around 2.00am-- 4.00am Tiredness Off her food NOW we are into week four and the same pain is back meds are the same but they have added Haloperidol to keep the morphine down they want us to try and ride this out but I am worried sick about her I can understand how the ovary can close over and repeat the same thing over and over again can you help explain this to me PLEASE.

I am so sorry to hear that your daughter is going thru this....I can't imagine what it is like for a young child.  Are you seeing a GYN/ONC?  And not because I think it is cancer, they are the specialists in all gynocological issues, they have 3 years additional training and may be able to offer other suggestions....it should not keep happening and your daughter deserves to live pain free.  Although she is very young, have they tried BC pills to prevent her from ovulating which should prevent the cysts from forming?

Please keep us posted.

yes they have her on BC for the last two months now ..have you got any idea how the ovary can close over and do the same thing fill up with fluid this is the thing that confused me the most. Going back to the GP this afternoon..we feel like we are backed into a corner and we dont think they will touch her this time .but what I do know is she cant go on like this...

Has she been seen by a GYN?  I wish I had answers for you....if it keeps happening can't they remove the ovary?  Many women lead very normal lives, have healthly children with only one ovary.

What did the GP tell you today?
