Welcome to the site. Let me first tell you that 99% of ovarian cysts are BENIGN!! 2ndly they do cause all of the symptoms that you have been experiencing. I am glad you got the second opinion, but perhaps a 3rd might be called for. You will get plenty of answers and support hear. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Godspeed

Thank You Gatsby, That in itself makes me feel better, I was begining to think it was all in my head or I had some bizar disease. I have been tested for everything even std's, I hate to say it is a relief but I needed a answer. I am a little afraid, but have great family support and this web site has and is a blessing. I will try to keep you posted and any advise or information is very welcome, Im not sure what to expect. Thanks again.
Thanks for your info, I have alot of vaginal discomfort, burning, tingling, it seems to be there almost all the time although I will feel ok for 2-3 days sometimes, maybe its because of ovulating or just befor my period? is this because my hormones are all mess up from the cyst? Ive been battling this for 6 mths with no answers Any help would be great. Thanks
Hi, I was just going through reading some of the posts & yours caught my attention. I must say that I have been experiencing similar symptoms as you have stated. I have a 5.5cm cyst on my left ovary & I believe it is causing the problems I've been experiencing, especially right after ovulation & before my next period. I have had some groin pain in which I have trouble walking & have to be very careful. I also have pressure or tightness in the vaginal area & some mild back pain & bloatedness & nauseousness at times. I will be going in to have the cyst removed in a couple of weeks & am hoping that this will alleviate the problems & that it is benign. I hope everything goes well for you & that you get the comfort you need too.
I to am having my cyst removed not sure of the sx date still waiting on the insurance co. Its nice to know that my symptoms are not unusual, I have been having them for 6 mths and I have to say I was starting to think I was crazy. Finding the cyst was scary, but also a relief to know that all the things Ive been going through are from something. I have never had sx and I am very scared, but look forword to feeling better. I hope all goes well for you as Im sure it will, I'll keep you in my prayers. Good luck and let me know how recovery is. Best of Luck
Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that I had my surgery to remove the cyst on Friday, April 7, and everything went very well. I am on the road to recovery, a bit sore & bloated, with a light period. The docs said I should be ready to go back to work within 3 days, but that's pretty unrealistic, imo. I've worked it out so that I will have at least 5 days recovery & I only work part-time! I really didn't have to take any pain medication, other than Tylenol the night of the surgery, and that was only b/c I wanted it as a precaution to get through the night. My guess is it'll take a few weeks to "really" recover as my belly is swollen & tender, and I'm moving at a snail's pace for the most part.
I want to wish you good luck with your health & I hope you get things worked out too.
