Hemorrhagic cyst diagnosis.

[kh239]

Hello all. I am new to this site. I have been reading the post and have found a lot of helpful information. For the last 4 months I have been feeling awful. Loss of appetite,weight loss, nausea,severe pain in back and under ribs and stomach area, excess gas I kept going to my GP and he brushed me off basically telling me I was fine. I kept enduring the pain. I demanded he give me back xrays and ct scan. They both were normal so they say. Iwent to the ER last week and they told me I had a bleeding cyst. I followed up with a gyno the next day and they did internal ultrasound and found 2 hemorrihatic cyst one on each ovary. They took lots of pictures and said that they didn't look like anything else and want to try the wait and see method. I have to go back in a month. They have a good reputation here locally. I am just so stressed because I have been gong through this since August. I droped my primary and have a an appt with a new Dr who is supposed to be good. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms with ovarian cyst. I am just soooo worried. Some days I can eat ok and some days I can't. I have lost 17 lbs since July. It could be because of anxiety also.

Those all sound like fairly common symptoms of cysts. I have a large one as well and I have lost 14lbs in the last month and a half. I'm doing the wait and watch method now and if it doesn't go away by the time I go back in on December 12th I'm having mine removed laproscopically. You can also try taking birth control to make the cysts go away if you aren't already. I hope this helps and you get well soon

Hi,
Such symptoms are common with ovarian cysts. If wait and watch policy does not work out then medicines can be taken for resolution of the cysts. Hence do not lose hope and all the best.
Hope this helps.
