I went to the ER a few eeks ago with almost the same pain you are describing. They did an EKG, X-rays, CT scans, and a pelvic ultrasound. The Dr. foung a dermoid cyst on my right ovary. The pain I experience is usually on my left side but the dr. said it does not matter where the pain localizes. I am going next week for my consultation to discuss laparoscopy and to tie my tubes while they are in there. The Dr. told me if I experience severe pain, vomiting, or late periods I should return to the ER for a possible ruptured cyst. I have pain almost every day and horrible periods. They have me on 800mg. ibuprofen. Most of the time it eases the pain, some times it does not. I also experience almost labor like pains when I have a bowel movement. I am scared but at the same time I cannot wait to have my ovary with the cyst on it removed. When all this first started the Dr. kept telling me I had an UTI. I know my body better than anyone, I knew it was more than that. Good luck to you! Ask a bunch of questions, get the proper diagnosis!!
Hi and welcome to the forum. You will find many helpful women here. I am so sorry that you had to go through such a bad experience. You cysts can definately cause pain as you described. When a cyst ruptures it is horrible pain too. It can last for a few hours or a few days. The fluid will just absorbe into the body, so do not worry about that. I hope you get answers from the gyno tomorrow. Hugs, Kasie
Thank you for the support ladies, 1 day at a time I guess - tommorrrow off to the gyno. good night all.
If you had pain, and cysts were found, it could very well be that one or more of them burst leaking fluid into your abdomen. When that happens, it can be very painful! I had two cysts on my left ovary and one on my right. One burst and leaked the contents which was so painful, I went to the ER. Hang in there and take it one step at a time.
