Ovarian Cyst

I have a 9cm ovarian cyst on my left ovary. Two years ago I had surgery on the same ovary for a 7cm cyst. I did one ultra sound and I had surgery within the hour because it was trying to twist my ovary. I am only 15 years old going on 16. I am currently taking birth control (Yaz). I have been taking it for nearly 6 months. The cyst just continues to grow with large amounts of pain like: Bladder complications, ( I use the bathroom at least 10 times a day), lower back pains, and stomach pain. I have been to approximately 6 doctors and all just refer me to specialists. What else can I do? I hate just laying in pain for hours and not being able to do nothing but scream my head off. They call my ovary cystic. =[ Any help? All I do is go to the doctors and get cat scans, ultrasounds, and pregnancy tests every couple of weeks and hear the same thing, "I'm sorry, but I can't help you. I'm referring you to a specialist."

I have been to many specialist's. I have another app. for a different one in late March. All the doctor's that I have been going to are Gynecologist's. I have got blood work done and such and they told me it's not cancer. The thing is even when I go to specialist's they send me to a different specialists. I just went to one last week. That's why I posted this because I'm getting tired of getting bounced around like hot potato.

So you've been referred to a specialist, have you actually seen the specialist yet?  Do you have an appointment booked?  I think that you need to see the gynaecologist asap, rather than keep going back to the normal doctor.

I forgot to mention in my question explanation that my ovary is enlarged and I'm not exactly sure about what type of cyst it is. The 9cm cyst I have currently dealing with now I have had since a month after the surgery I had almost 2 years ago. I knew for sure after a month after surgery I had a cyst. I waited four months to seek medical help even though I had all the same symptoms. My belly button from the laparoscopy surgery is still black/bruised. I can not touch inside my belly button or I tend to throw up. I do not have endotermendeosis or however you spell it. My mother lost both her ovaries at the age of 27. But she never experienced ovarian cyst complications at my age, either has many people that I have asked. I'm in desperate need of peoples help to explain what I can do. Sooner or later this cyst is going to do damage to me. It's been almost 2 years. I have been given anti-inflammatory pills, ibuprofen, and Tylenol for the pain and it does not help at all. I do not wish for pain pills but a simple way to get rid of my pain. I have asked doctors to do the surgery but they are all concerned that I have already done the surgery and because of my age makes it a risk to take. Eventually, I will want kids, but I know you can save your eggs. HELP ME PLEASE!
