have had a complex hemorhagic cyst for 6 months

[slm42]

I have had pain in my lower right pelvis that has been getting progressively worse for 6 months. I went to my family Dr. and they sent me for an abdominal/transvaginal ultrasound. The ultrasound showed a complex right hemorhagic ovarian cyst, a left septated cyst, and 2 uterine fibroids, and mild fluid in the cul de sac and endometrial cavity. I was referred to the gynecologist. He did a repeat ultrasound and found no fluid or cyst on the left ovary. The hemorhagic cyst was still there 2 weeks after the original ultrasound. He recommended repeating the ultrasound in a month and a half after i had another cycle. I ended up seeing him on emergency when my cycle came because the pain was so severe. He gave me percocet . He said I would need surgery, either laporoscopically to remove the cyst and right ovary. or a complete hysterectomy. He recommended a complete heyterectomy due to scar tissue from previous abdominal surgeries, and the fibroids. He could not guarantee removing just the cyst and right ovary would alleviate my pain. I was scheduled for a hysterectomy, but the surgery was cancelled due to insurance problems. In the mean time I just started another cycle. I have had severe, sharp, stabbing, right sided pain again that radiates to my right lower back and thigh. I get very shaky and feel nauseous. Aside from abdominal pressure I noticed another symptom this month, I had a sharp pain radiating upward into my abdomen during a bowel movement and urination. These symptoms only appear during my menstrual cycle and about 2 to 3 days before and after the rest of the month I am fine. I have heard these types of cycsts can sometimes go away on their own. What is the likelyhood of that happening being that I have had this about 6 months and the pain is getting worse. I would also like to know are these symptoms normal, and why it bothers me just during my cycle.

I had alot of the same problems you had and finally had a  hysterectomy with them leaving my only normal ovary intact. That pain was during my cycle only and it got so bad I had passed out sheet white with pain, it was like my uterus was in one long 3 day contraction. I felt so much better after my hysterectomy until they gave me lupron for a cyst on my right ovary and they gave me Lupron, now I would get a very good second opinion from an excellent physician like I went to texas and saw a doctor there . You can look up Dr. Redwine on the net he deals with endometriosis but you better beleive if I had it all to do over again I would have gone to him. they might need to do a laproscope on you to make sure you dont have endometriosis, but if you are ever offered Lupron DONT TAKE IT, read about it and ask alot of people on the net about it if it is offered to you. Good Luck, get a second opinion from a top surgical gyn. whiz

Unfortunately, I really am not qualified to answer your questions. I am not a gynecologist but an internal medicine doctor.  I deal with basic questions about gynecology. But your case seems more complex and well beyond my scope of training.  It seems like are seeing the right doctor, ie. a gynecologist.  I would go see your gynecologist if you have any questions, concerns, and/or worsening symptoms.  If you are not satisfied with his/her answers or recommendation you can always seek a second opinion from another gynecologist.
