Ovarian Cysts and Fatigue
Do ovarian cysts cause extreme fatigue? I have for cysts. One of them is a complex cyst measuring 4cm. I have had them for at least a year and being treated with birth control. I get abdominal pain, back pain, pain on my thighs, bloating and nausea. However, what really affects my daily life is the fatigue. I am always very tired, I feel like everything aches and just want to sleep. I work but lack the energy to go through an entire day without feeling I need to sleep! Is anyone else experiencing fatigue... similar symptoms?

I don't know if fatigue is typical with ovarian cysts or not. But it would seem plausible since hormone production can be impacted. And also to be questioned is why you're developing cysts. Some women just tend to get them but there could be an underlying cause. Are you sure these aren't the cysts associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)? Have you had a full thyroid panel to check thyroid function?
