Can ovarian cysts affect your bladder and/or urine stream?

I am 30 y/o female & have zero children.  I have ovarian cysts on both ovaries & one is enlarged. I have been noticing for a little while now that when i go to pee i have to strain to start the flow. Also sometimes it is difficult to fully empty my bladder. I can urinate a little bit, then it stops, and i have to strain to squeeze it out. Is there something i should be concerned about? possible kidney problem? or just related to cysts

Hi Shannon. Yes yes yes! I do lean over & concentrate to get it out.  Its strange though.  I also had kidney stones about 7 years ago so was thinking maybe its my kidneys. Or maybe the cyst pushing on my bladder.  But it seems like if it was bladder I wouldnt have trouble peeing.  I am not trying to conceive at the moment but I want to have kids. I know I'd better get on the ball cause I'll be 35 yrs old in four years.

Hi,

I have pcos with one larger cyst on my left ovary.  I notice that also.  Will it come out faster when you lean forward? Sorry if TMI. I really don't know for sure that it is related to cyst.  I have had kidney stones in the past.  I have an appointment next month; and I'm going to ask the doc about it.  I would encourage you to go to see your doc.  It could be either a kidney problem or related to cyst.  Sorry I could not be of more help.  Are you trying to conceive?
