Question about Ovarian Cysts?

I have been dealing with Ovarian Cysts of and on for the past 5 years. They topically just come and go never have I been in pain from them and the never got any bigger than a centimeter. I just had an ultra sound that showed a large black mass attached to my right ovary. I have an IUD in place and for the past month I have had abdominal pain ranging from sever to managable. I also have bouts of nausea and constipation. I just had an ultrasound done and there was a black mass that was about 3 centimeters. Can an ovarian cyst cause this much pain and other symptoms?

Yep, even cysts as small as a centimeter can cause pain and other symptoms. Are  you seeing a gynecologist or your family doctor?  I would recommend seeing a gyn.  What course of action is your doctor planning to take?  Keep us posted!

Yes, a cyst can cause all of those symptoms.  Do ensure you find out what kind of cyst it is as that will affect your treatment.
