Ovarian cyst and dizziness

I am 15 years old and have just been diagnosed with what the doctor said is a "large ovarian cyst on the right ovary". It was discovered using an ultrasound. For about the past two weeks I have had some extreme fatigue and dizziness. I also have gas, not feeling hungry, and frequent urination. I have been told to take Aleve and birth control pills. From what I currently understand is that this treatment won't make the cyst go away and wont help with the dizziness or urination. This has been interfering with my daily life as I have been having a hard time focusing and staying awake in class as well as using the bathroom about twice each class. Is there anything else I can do?  In addition, how do I know if it ruptures? Is it dangerous?

Thank you

I am 15 as well and was diagnosed with ovarian cysts at age 14. I feel you on the diziness! I was dizzy for about 3 weeks. It would happen when I would stand up from sitting down, when I was walking down the stairs, and sometimes just sudden bursts of diziness. I have a question for you. Do you have a hard spot or lump that you can feel when you poke on the right side of your stomach towards your belly button and below your rib cage? I have had really bad cramping and am wondering if this hard spot is a sign of ovarian my ovarian cysts. Now the lump itself does not hurt to touch.
