Recurring Cyst

[price_lindsey]

Hi all,
   I'm hoping someone might be able to give me some advice.  This past Aug I had a 5cm and 8cm hemorachic (sp) cyst on my right ovary.  This all started once I had to come off of birth control due to a blot clotting disorder.  We tried Lupron, thinking it was from endometriosis, but on Spet 19 removed the cyst. This was after multiple trip s to the ER because it was twisting and untwisting on me.   Things were going ok and now less then 2 months later I am facing the same pain again on the same side.  How common is it to have cysts this large grow back this soon?  Is surgery the only option? I know a couple of doctors told me having children would help, is this true?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
THANKS!

Thanks for the advice. I am already seeing a hemologist. I have low protien C and a mutation in the MTTHR gene. I actually clot to much and that is why they took me off of BCP. I was seeing a neurologist for severe migraines and a mini-stroke. When they ran a bunch of blood work. that's when they found out about the blood clotting and took me off of BCP and the cysts began.  My current gyn has put me on a progesterone only pill hoping this will regulate some of the cysts.  Unfort. it has not.  I know I will already have a complicated pregnancy (blood thinners, etc) I just need to try to get back to a some what normal lifestyle again and the pain currently is not letting me.  Is surgery the only way to take care of these cysts, or is there any natural way?

hi There,
If you have a blood clotting problem, you need to see a hematologist if you are not already seeing one. you may develop bleeding after ovulation and if you cannot clot, you will get a large blood clot in the ovary that looks like a cyst on ultrasound. it makes sense to stay on birth control pills to suppress ovulation. however, you need advice and follow up by a hematologist for the bleeding problem.
I do not think getting pregnant will help this. You might have other bleeding problems in pregnancy.
take care
