Just got told I have ovarian cysts, I'm almost 15

[Rebecca64]

Hi there I have been having hip pain for over a year on and off and finally found out what was wrong but to make sure there was no damage to any tissue I had an MRI done. It came back clear for hip damage but the accidently (but suppose luckily) picked up ovarian cysts. I don't know how many, what ovary, or if it both or even the size as the doctor I saw was a paedetric joint specially not a gyno and could tell me anything else except they were there. That was on Thursday, it is now Monday and all of a sudden I got really bad cramps and started heavily bleeding ( this is normal for me on the first two days of my period) but I'm not due on for another 10 days! Should I worry? Could it be to do with the cysts or have I just started early and over thinking it because I know I have cysts? I'm usually very regular only ever a day or two off the day I'm due so that's why I'm worried with it being 10 days

Ovarian cysts are common and usually go away on their own. They can cause symptoms of pain or discomfort and can also affect the menstrual cycle since they alter hormones.

Some women always have cysts on their ovaries. There's something called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) where the ovaries contain cysts in a "strand of pearls" pattern. PCOS is a condition of insulin resistance and is associated with a few common symptoms such as excess body hair, tendency to gain weight easily, oily or acne-prone skin, excessive testosterone levels. Of course, you may not have this but thought I'd mention it.
