Large ovarian cyst

by blueyesss02, Dec 01, 2007 02:16PM
Since I was about 14 I always got cyst on my overies and sometimes they were painful.  Recently, I had sever pain on my right side and went to the doc he had some test ran and found a cyst on my uterus, (ih ave a hard time understanding him) and it was 3mm.  He said it appered to be filled with blood.  I was to go for a follow up to see if it is any larger or went away.  Between visits I went back for a sinus infection and anouther doc at his office told me that it is on my overie.  And as of right now I am in pain and scared because i am only 24 years old.  what are my chances of it being more than a cyst.  And does blood filled mean anything?  I am on birth control because of it.  Please help!

I had blood filled cyst inside my ovary.  The doctor said it was an endometrioma or chocolate cyst.  Unfortunately because of the size they had to remove the ovary and tube.  According to my doctor and everyone else I've spoken to you can have kids with only one ovary.  Look up the two cysts I've listed above, you may find it helpful.

Good luck!
