I found out that I do have cysts on my ovaries, but do not know what type or how large they are. I am now 44 yrs old and have extremely painful periods including backpain, burning pain in pelvic, bloating, weight gain and just recently have been feeling very nauseous. Is the nausea normal/ I am due to have a vaginal ultrasound soon so hopefully I will know more. I cannot get into see the gyno until Sept. Sometimes I have horrible pains in my stomach-intestinal area too. Is the nausea and stomach pains normal with overian cysts? please advize. Also the doctor had to give me lorcet for pain. Does anyone else have to take pain meds for this? Thanks
