Yes and no with the Ibuprofen I did take over alot of yrs for pain mostly breast prbs my dr at the time told me to take 800 to 1000 mg for pain now I have leaned to deal with alot of the pain that I have or that comes and goes. I have been noticing that my side hurts more when I strech like something is being pulled on that right side just the last day or so and that I get shooting pain from right above my pubic bone (bout 6in) that goes across to the right ovary area. I will tell him that I want that test done and Im thinking just go in and see what all the prbs are with a laperoscopy or something. Iam just so sick of being in pain and knowing there is something not right. I want answers and I want them now. This is puttin a strain in my life i work 2 jobs one being my externship (part time) and at time it can be very hard to do my job and i work a full time job as well. I just want a pain free life has some sort of prb for all most 10ys now. thanks 4 ur help nikki
The Pap test results and the cysts are unrelated conditions, but the cervix needs to have those bad cells removed. It would be a golden opportunity to also have cysts removed at the same time.
It is possible you have caused some GI troubles with Ibuprofen (do you take a lot of Ibuprofen?) due to all the pain.
CA-125 tests for elevated levels of a cancer tumor marker and is an indicator of ovarian cancer. Not reliable, but can help doctors determine just how much trouble a cyst is truly causing.
My OB said that it should be the cause of pain it is intestinal. Not really sure how long Iv had these cysts because I keep gettin told that they have ruptured gone to hospital 3x's over last yr and half and same thing every time a cyst ruptured and causing extreme pain. (more than normal pain). What is a CA-125 test?? the GI dr thought I had Crohn's but now he dont few months ago my mom was told she has Celiac's. the ob dr did few blood test 4 it and the GI dr said that was enough for him cuz at the time he said he was sure that it was Crohn's but that came back not true so IDK. I go Jan 18th for a colposcopy so i will talk with my ob then and see what he say and ask for the CA-125. thanks for ur help.

Cysts that size can definitely cause you pain and cause bowel issues. You've had these for a long time and they are still causing you issues. Insist on a CA-125 test (not that it is very reliable but can be valuable in a diagnosis) and if it were me I'd be insisting they do a laporascopic surgery to remove them. They can't tell for sure what type of cyst they are and you are in pain. Time for them to take action.
