hi
I was reading your post and I wanted to share my experience. I have had very painful, heavy, bloated, long periods, I have also had a lot of back pain that starts 1 to 2 weeks before my period starts, some bleeding but the worst is the acne every month around this time of the month. My sister advised my to go to the dermatologist (I was visiting my sister) and I went to see him.
I explained to him that the acne was only around my period and it was really bad. I was depressed because I never had it that bad when I was a teenager I am 45 now. I really did not want to leave the house because I could no longer be without make up like I used to.
He asked me questions related to my period and I answered just as described above.
He said that cysts make you have acne that is a symptom and a clue and that he wanted me to have an ultrasound which I did and sure enough I had nabothian cysts,
I was traveling back home and could not go to see him again but I took the results to my gynecologist. My doctor said that they have nothing to do with the acne and to go to a dermatologist. I was confused because the dermatologist have said that was a clue.
I am confused now on top of being depressed because the acne is really acute and I don't know what to try. The cysts the doctor said, will go away on their own......I am truly desperate for an answer and treatment.
I'm 14 years old, and I've just been told by my doctor that i have 2 cysts growing on my right kidney AND 1 on my right ovary. But I only had an unltrasound done, i'm not 100% confident in this diagnosis. I'm scheduled to see a gyna soon. Perhaps what you have is sort of the same like what i have? Can it be that cysts on (or in, i'm not quite sure) a kidney is the start of polycystic kindney disease? Though, I've read that it is generic. Other than my father having kidney stones as a child and my aunt having a cyst on her ovary, there is no other relation. I don't know much about anything right now. Only that, it's causing me alot of pain, to the point of feeling nausious, and that the doctors said not to worry about it at all that they will all eventually expload or dissolve...?
Please help me alittle, thanks!
Hi, welcome, I don't know anything about the correlation of the two problems. But I also wonder if other "cystic" processes are related to the ovarian cysts. For example, I have fibrous cysts in my breasts, had a ganglion cyst in my wrist(now resolved), have a cyst growing in a labral tear inside my shoulder(but I don't wanna' have surgery ..ha! Such a wuss)...and I'm showing signs of adult cystic acne and rosacea, and I had a simple pregnancy cyst 4yrs. ago., and I have nabothian cysts on my cervix....Now, I wonder if all that is related... If you find any research on this, please let me know.
Take care,

I too, wonder about the correlation. I too, have acne and a nabothian cyst on my cervix. I have a suspicion there is something up with my kidneys that has yet to be discovered, due to my recent Dx of hypertension. Hopefull NOT polycystic kindney disease! Who knows? We'll be here to find out in the long run.
Welcome to the site. I am so sorry that you are going through this tough time. I don't know if there is a connection, but I am sure there is someone on this site that does and can hopefully give you some answers. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
