Could stomach bloating be caused by my complex ovarian cyst?

[mogirltoo]

Hello,  I was diagnosed with a complex ovarian cyst in June.  My CA-125 was normal and I am scheduled to go see a specialist to have it surgically removed.  I am having a lot of constipation, and bloating like I'm pregnant.  Is this caused from the cyst or do you think there could be another problem?  I am having pain on my right side, the same side where the cyst is located.  I am really concerned because I can't fit into any of my clothes, with any comfort. Any answers would make me feel so much better.  HELP

I'm looking for the same answer.  My stomach is swelling and I'm consitpated all the time.  Did they find your cycst with an MRI?

Hi, they found the cyst by sonogram.  That's all they have done so far.  I am really the one pushing for it to be removed because it is a complex cyst.  will it go away on it's own?

[mogirltoo]

Oh, also it was transvaginal.  sorry.  thanks so much for the replies.  I hope to get it removed soon.  I will let you know when I find something out.

Hi  I also have a complex hemorhagic cyst and I am experiencing bloating(I look pregnant) and constipation I had my CA-125 blood test done on Friday I see the Dr. on Wednesday (so I still have 4 long days left to think the worst)

Well, I went to another doctor and they said that they are not going to remove it.  I go in on thursday for a pelvic exam and some kind of scope to see if I have endometriosis.  Don't panic !!  This could be the same for you.  Just keep on your doctor to find the answer.  I also had another blood test called the ovarian antibody.  I haven't seen the results for that yet, but will let you know.

I had ovarian cancer 1 year ago.  When it was discovered my stomach looked like I was 9 months pregnant.  This was due to fluid in my stomach from something they called "floaties".  Apparently the floaties are cancerous.  When I was operated on in June of 2003 they removed 25 pounds of fluid from my stomach before they could start.

Good luck to you.  So far all is doinf good for me.  More tests this week and findings in a week and a half.

Hi  Klondike  I was just curious on how they found these floaties?  was it by ultrasound?  My ca-125 was at 18  I went back last week because of more pain  gave me the option to wait with pain meds or have surgery  but he thought it would go away on its owm so I opted to wait  but I am so bloated and in alot of pain I have been on the scales every week and my weight has not changed just my mid section is getting larger  Good luck  to you

I am on this site every day since the beginning of September, looking for encouragement from others dealing with the same issues I am dealing with.  I am scheduled for surgery for a septated cyst next Thursday and don't know what to expect. As I am reading all the posts, I can't help but wonder what has happened with the various individuals who have posted.  Any good news out there for the rest of us, please share it and let the Forum know how invaluable their service is to those in need!

I am having surgery May 9th, My stomach looks as if I am 7 months pregnant and I have had weight gain and my ankles are swollen like when I was pregnant.  I had my uterus taken out 2 years ago for fibroids all went well.  I was having darting little pains and had a CT of the abdomen.  They found a mass on my left ovary.  It is an ackward mass, unexplained that is why they prefer to have it removed.  
But reading about the floaties and the water weight.  Wow.
The floaties did you feel twitches like little feelings in your belly?
Did you have these symptoms too  or any one else.
Good luck everyone  - God bless

Alot of these posts are so old, is there anyone out there currently having these symptoms, and or how many of you had the surgery and how are you feeling now?

Take care

Are the "floaties" you are referring to what is known as ascites?  From what I am reading, that is related to ovarian carcinoma.  Ascites is the fluid that buids up in in your stomach lining (the omentum).  I just posted for the first time as my question pertains to being very overweight, as I am.  It was hard to tell with my stomach already being so large if I am more distended or not.  I am not having horrific pelvic pressure, but definitely feel pressure, I thought it was a bladder infection.  However, the last year I have had very low energy, and acute low back pain, right on my tailbone.  I see a ob/gyn doc Friday and I am not sleeping at all and crying a lot..I am so worried.
