First Ovarian Cyst

Hello everyone! I'm 25 and am currently experiencing my first Ovarian cyst. I have been hurting during my cycles since this past March. When I was admitted to a local hospital this past June they found an ovarian cyst. The initial er visit was for what they thought was gallbladder problems. Once they rolled out gallbladder surgery I went home. I called my gynecologist because I'd rather be safe than sorry. They did and ultrasound and told me to come back in 6 weeks which will be the 27th. She's wanting to see if it's grown and we will go from there. Every cycle the pain is worse and is often accompanied with nausea and fever. June's cycle it just hurt in the pelvis area. In July it hurt in the pelvic area and in my back in the same place..the pain also went up my back into my shoulder blade on my left side. Being young and this being my first cyst I'm worried. Any advice or input?

I didn't even think to get a copy of the report. That day was so hectic and honestly, I was a little scared. This morning the pain was worse. I couldn't walk across the room with almost bringing tears to my eyes. And last night wasn't that great either. I'm a stomach sleeper ans I think the pressure just hurt. They moved my appointment up to the 18th.

Welcome to the community. Ovarian cysts can be painful and alter hormones causing other problems. Although it is usually best to wait it out since most cysts resolve in 2 to 3 cycles, that can be hard. Did you get any information about the type and size of the cyst? You can always ask for a copy of the ultrasound report which will give you all the details. Hoping your next u/s shows that the cyst has shrunk or disappeared! Keep us posted.
