Ovarian cyst and lower back and abdomen pain...
I was diagnosed with an Ovarian Cyst (1.5cm) about 6 months ago. The doctor put me on Birth Control in hopes to decrease the size of the cyst and to hopefully thin my uterus lining some because it was very thick. Over the past few months I have had much pain in my lower back and my monthly cramping has become very intesnse to the point that it is hard to function normally without some strong meds. The ovary was on my right side and I am due to go back for my second ultrasound the end of this month. I guess my question is with all this pain I am going thru should I be concerned....or is this normal. I do not have children and have never been pregnant and I have just turned 32. I am just confused...if I am not on the pill it is painful when I ovulate when I am on the pill my lower back and right side kill me. What do I do and what questions should I ask. The nurse told me that if I didnt go on the pill then they would not do another ultrasound.....WHY? She sugessted a DNC maybe in the future. Can someone please shed some light on this for me?
I stayed so sick yesterday. My fiance' came home from work he said i was very pail and looked very sick, he took me to the er. They did another ultrasound and the cyst is the same it hasnt got any smaller and thank goodness no bigger. They took me off work until my ultrasound on wed morning. I have had ovarian cyst before but not this big and not this painful!!!!
I am 33 years old had been having lower back pain for two months . Finally went to the er they did a ct and found a cyst on my right ovary the size of a tangerine. Went to a gynecologist yesterday he put me on birth control to try to shrink it. He said if it hadnt shrunk by wed i would have surgery on friday of next week. I started my period yesterday and today the pain is unbearable. He said i would have to deal with cramping until wed. So tired of being in pain hard to function like this.
my wife is suffering alot from lower back pains due to ovarian cyst and i am so scared because i have no idea on how i can help her, i have taken her to the doctor but they dont ever seem to help anyone can give us advice please email me ***@****
i also have an ovarian cyst at 16 yrs old i was diagnosed with 5 ovarian cysts i got sent in to emerge after 4 months of continuous bleeding and doctors telling me im fine and theirs nothing to worry about now im 20 yrs old and still have one of my cysts measuring 5cm and in the bigining it n was 7 cm and after my surgery i was told i couldn't have children but i am now a mother of a 21 month old daughter so in all just keep an eye on your cysts and if you need to get a second opinion
I just joined, so this ought to be helpful for me. Your situation sounds so very like mine. I am 32 years old as well, and for the lat 3 and a half years I have had right lower back pain. Every doctor told me it was a lower back sprain. I couldn't understand how a back sprain could never get better and last three years. My back pain is chronic and unbearable. I recently found out I have an ovarian cyst on the right side which is about 2cm. I strongly believe that my back pain is from the cyst, but I haven't confirmed it from the doctor. I go back on Oct. 1, so we will see. As of now, I depend on pain meds to get me through everyday, but sometimes even that is not enough. I hope you and I both can get through this.
