ovarian cysts

by AutumnBeauty66, Oct 29, 2009 05:05PM
My daughter is having very sharp pains on her left side, below her belly button. She is seeing a gynocologist. Today he set her up for a surgery date. But he doesn't think the majority of her pain is caused by her cyst. He said her pain is too high above her cyst . Her cyst is over 3 centimeters. Does anybody know what it could be? The pain comes and goes...and is really bad when she lifts things. She is only 20 yrs. old. She was born premature. 2 months preemie. She weighed 2lb 3oz. at birth.

Any pain below the belly button could be a cyst pain, if you ask me.  Not sure why the doctor thinks that's too high.  Cysts send pain signals to areas away from itself all the time.  And they could press on bowels, which would be in that general area, too.

Doctors frequently don't believe us fully when we talk about the strange pains caused by cysts.

3 cm is not that big for surgery.  Usually they wait until 5 cm or bigger unless there's concerns about what type they think it is.
