Not appepitite, bloating, pain, and gas

Cysters:

I reading the posts I have learned a lot from you all.  I have also been better able to deal with my own pain and symtoms.  Just curious how the ovarian cysts are related to back pain, bloating and the lack of appetite.  I have been going thru this since late July early August 2005.  Plus I have several fibroid tumors in my uterus.  The symptoms are erractic.  Meaning I may  have them for weeks at a time and then get a couple of weeks virtually pain free.  Has anyone else gone thru this?  What is your advise?  Your comments will be greatlly appreciated.

Thanks for all your comments.  I am considering having my right ovary removed since it's been giving me so many problems with the cysts.  I have four tumors last count was in January and the largest one was about 4cm.  I don't know what to do about the tumors.  The doctor says wait and watch.  Thanks again to all.

Hi, I also have the same symptoms of no appetite, bloating and gas.  No pain this week so far (weird or what).  I'm not sure what to tell you--I would just keep bugging my doctor if the symptoms linger.

Combatmom -
I have the same symptoms.  I've had recurrent cysts (4 so far) since last September.  Sometimes I have no pain for days or weeks at a time.  Other times I have pain for a month at a time. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.  These things are really annoying and impossible to predict.  Are you having surgery or waiting to see what happens with them?

hi, i too had no appetite, I still don't and I'm post-op. It is the strangest sensation for me as I love to eat. I just make sure to force myself to eat small nutritious meals/snacks. goodluck!

I have a 1 1/2 inch cyst on my right ovary and waiting for 2nd opinion June 12th.Have same problems. I find taking a GAS X after breakfast and dinner does help a lot. So you might want to try it. It's better than nothing.Today my back in killing me and I have pain in the belly. I also have thick unterine .09cm and 3 fibroids.Something is telling me I might get to have summer off and be home after my appt.
Good luck

I also have similar symptoms....some days are lousy and some days I feel fine!  Hopefully this will go away after I have my surgery next week.  I was freaking when I developed these symptoms (I thought for sure I was dying of something), but reading these boards and talking with others have helped me realize that my body will be better after this thing is out.

Welcome!  The bloating, gas and pain can be caused by the cysts pressing agains other organs in the body - taking up space that does not belong to them.  Also the back pain can be caused by the cyst pressing on nerves.  This also accounts for the groin and thigh pain that you may experience.  Keep in mind that 99% of ovarian cysts are benign.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  Godspeed
