Ovarian Cyst?

[KaylaRose16]

Hi everyone, I am 20 years old & becoming very worrisome. Over the past few weeks I've been feeling some discomfort in my lower abdomen, along with some spotting. Yesterday while at work I got this sharp, stabbing like pain on the lower right part of my abdomen, which lasted about 5 minutes. I'm not a big baby, but I felt like I was going to vomit from the pain. I've also had dull backaches & feelings of being full as soon as I start eating. I have a family history on both my mom's & dad's side of having ovarian cysts. I'm going to call my doctor first thing in the morning, but I just wanted to get some feedback on here. Does this sound like ovarian cysts?

Yes but it could also be a variety of things as well.

Do you get painful periods?

Is this the first time you have felt this kind of pain?

I've never had any pain even before I found out I had ovarian cysts. Usually its symptoms are prolonged bleeding, heavy bleeding, or absence of menses for a couple months (all of which I experienced).

thatquitegirl is right, visiting a doctor would be the best thing to do to confirm any ovarian cysts and to know why youre having those abdominal pains.

The pain I got with my dermoid cyst was sudden and didn't relent, but different people experience different types of pains.  It could very well be.  If this pain gets worse, please go to the ER.  Your pain is on your lower right abdomen, which is also where the appendix is.  If you're running a temperature in addition to all this, I wouldn't delay getting looked at.
