OVARIAN CYSTS

I RECENTLY WENT TO MY GYN ABOUT PAIN DURING SEX AND SHE SUGGESTED THAT I HAVE A SONOGRAM.  SHE SAID IT MIGHT JUST BE A CYST BUT I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT ELSE IT COULD BE.  SHE CONFIRMED THAT I HAVE A BLADDER INFECTION, A BAD ONE.  THE THING IS THAT I HAD AN ABORTION IN JUNE AND WANTED TO KNOW EVERYONES OPINION ON IF THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT?  IM REALLY SCARED AND JUST WANTED TO FEEL SOME PEACE.  I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO SLEEP OR EAT WHICH IS GOOD I GUESS BECAUSE IM OVERWEIGHT. I WAS ALSO ON THE DEPO SHOT BUT THE LAST ONE WAS A YEAR AGO IN SEPTEMBER, ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Hi, I have just read your question and wanted to put your mind at rest, I had an ovarian cyst about 6 years ago that hemoraged,and had surgery to remove it.  I now have a healthy 2 year old son and my pregnancy was very easy and birth was good.  So you should not have any problems conceiving when you are ready.

I was just diagnosed with a complex ovarian cyst in june due to uncomfortable intercourse.  Just had my 3rd follow-up ultra sound and it is completely gone.  I also suffered from abdominal pain that would shoot down my thigh.  I guess they are pretty common amoung those in their reproductive years.

i feel so much better thankyou.  One thing for sure is that im never having an abortion ever again.  One big problem was not knowing, everyone should always research things before they do it.

I was 23 when I was diagnosed with cysts and my sister was a teenager. It is not an uncommon occurance and many women that are quite young have them and go on to have very normal pregnancies. They usually do not cause any problems when ttc.

IM SO CONFUSED?  IM ONLY 20 HOW CAN THAT HAPPEN TO SOMEONE AS YOUNG AS ME? DOES ANYONE KNOW OF SOMEONE MY AGE WHO HAS CYSTS? IM SORRY FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS BUT IM IN TEARS. IM SO SCARED I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO OR THINK!

I doubt the abortion had much to do with your current situation now.
Bladder infections are not uncommon, and cysts are also a common cause of pain during intercourse.  If the pain persists after your infection has been treated, go back to your doctor or seek out another opinion if you feel your doctor isn't being helpful.

Sometimes the cause of pain during sex is difficult to discern.
