Recurring Hemorrhagic Ovarian Cysts
by Mrs.Langford, Oct 29, 2007 08:39AM
I am 24 years old, and have been getting recurring hemorrhagic corpus luteum cysts for the past year or so. The largest yet has been 7c.m. in my right ovary, and right now i have a 2.8cm cyst in my right ovary, and a 1.8cm cyst in my left ovary. (this is the first cyst in my left ovary). They are excrutiatingly painful. I have had two laparoscopy with D+C. There is no endometriosis. The outside of both of my ovaries is fine, I always get the cysts inside of the ovary (lest the follicle where the corpus luteum tries to escape my ovary to go to the fallopian tube).
I have been referred to a pain clinic, but they can't get me in until after thanksgiving... and they're reluctant to give me more pain meds, because of how many I take... BUT I have been in this bad of pain on and off for a year. The pain is bad enough to make me throw up and make me miss work.
I also have pretty consistant diaharreah. I have really bad abdominal pain mostly on the right side all the time. it is very tender to the touch. I am going next week Monday for a colonoscopy to check for Chron's Disease to try and explain the diaharreah and pain.
I have been on birth control to try and prevent the cysts from forming, and it is obviously not working. My last cyst which was 4.9cm was just 6 weeks ago, which I had to have surgically drained as the ovary was filling with blood.
What is the next step and how do i deal with the pain?? Would it be beneficial to remove that right ovary? Since I get cysts every time I ovulate from that side?? Why did i product cysts on both ovaries this month? I am getting very frustrated and tired, I'm always feeling sick, and I'm always in such terrible pain. Would getting pregnant help to straighten this all out?
Someone please give me some advice. If someone has felt what I am feeling, please let me know what you have been diagnosed with or how you were treated!!!

The D+C's do alleviate alot of pain for a while... but only for a while. Even with the pain that i had from the incisions for the Laporoscopy, the pain in my pelvic was lessened.
I will let you know what happens with my colonoscopy next week.
Also i heard that if they remove your appendix even without it being inflamed that that can alleviate some of the pain... Just a thought. I would love it if they would try taking mine out. what harm could it do, it doesn't do anything.
Does your abdominal pain hurt when you touch your stomach, kind of to the right of your belly button close to your hip??
