I'm 16 and have been getting ovarian cysts since I was 13. I was rushed to the E.R when they thought I had appendicitis, but it was a cyst. I get numerous cysts each month, most of them burst which cause a great deal of pain.
Lately my bowels have been weird. There's a lot of rumbling in my stomach, and I can feel everything moving around. I go a lot, but its normal. I've been on the gassy side too.
Yesterday my stomach was killing in my pelvic area, to the right of my left hip. I figured out it was a cyst when I tried putting a tampon in. It hurt like hell in the same spot I described. It got worse as the day went on and nothing helped the pain. Today, its mostly gone, but I know its still there. (I always feel my cysts burst). Maybe it wasn't even a cyst? But I was having cramps too, but I finished my period on the 9th, so it wasn't my period starting.
I've also been getting a lot of discharge. Everything is normal about it, just the quantity is large. It's almost like I'm on a "clear period". I also get extreme pain when on my period. I get it every 19-22 days, and it usually lasts 3-7 days. Even though I'm only 16, I've had it with periods. I hate them.
So could all this be related? My stomach ache, the bowel problems, the discharge? Also, would I be a good candidate for birth control? I've thought about it because I'm sick of cysts and extremely painful periods. I always used to go to my doctors, but they finally gave up and said there was nothing they could do to help me.
