hemorrhagic cyst

[traycek]

I received news that I have a hemorrhagic cyst. My doctor can't see me until the 30th. My question before I get there would be, what causes this/these? And is there a way to rid them? Has anyone had experience with hemorrhagic cysts before that can share info, please? Thanks so much! Trayce K

I have a 1 inch cysts on my right side that has kept me up 2 nights in a row now! I began googleing and There are oils that you can bathe in tnat shrink  cysts. One that is life changing for me is magnesium oil. Look at the benefits of magnesium oil ,you will be excited,after diluting it with water ,add german camomile oil ,and Lavendar oil in it. Take 2 oz of Plain non diluted magnesium oil and put it into a bathtub and soak for 20-30 minutes for 5 days. Whstever you do dont fall asleep ,Magnesium is.   Very relaxing! And its known to shrink cysts :) God Bless

I have had hemorrhagic cysts for years.  I've been to the ER a few times because they have burst.  I finally got on a good insurance plan in 2010 and have them followed every two to three months.  I have yet to have surgery on any of them.  They have always eventually gone away.  Sometimes it takes about a year but they have all eventually gone, but only to form new ones!  It's a constant.  There are months when they bother me all the time and months in which I feel totally fine.  I honestly am afraid to have surgery on them because when they do go away there are always more that form shortly after.  I have found that being in my early 40's they seem to take longer to go away.  I do not want to go on birth control since I am over 35.  My sister is a doctor and says that if it were her she would pass on the surgery unless they look cancerous.  I have had a bad week and glad I found this forum.  I never thought I would say this but I can't wait for menopause.  I just want this to end.  Stay strong my friends.  I am trying to! :/

Hi. I am 17 years old. I was recently diagnosed with having a 4cm Hemorrhagic cyst on my right ovary. I have also been diagnosed with endometriosis, i used to have TERRIBLE periods. I lost 4 pounds in one week due to blood loss. In February, i went into labor and apparently passed a segment of the lining of my uterus. I was on the BC pill for 5 years, but nothing was helping, so they gave me the Nuva Ring in attempt to lessen my cramps. I have been to the point of literally screaming at the top of my lungs for the past three weeks. I have been in and out of the hospital. 5 days ago i spent the night in the hospital where they did a transvaginal ultrasound & discovered that it was a hemorrhagic cyst. The pain is excruciating. I have recently started to have a very very thick brown bloody discharge and wanted to know if that was to be expected. Any help, information, or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

all I can tell you is that by 16 I had a dermoid cyst so large the dr thought I was 3 mos pregnant. I was told then I would NEVER be able to have children. ive had multiple surgeries and laproscopic procedures done for severe endo and cysts, had left ovary completely removed before I was 22, went through 2 bouts of Lupron and strong BC to control the endo. at 27 I was completely surprised by an absolutely unplanned pregnancy. I took 4 at home tests and went to dr and had tests done there before I believed it. my daughter had to be delivered by emergency C-section and while they were doing that, yet another large cyst was removed along with a portion of the ovary. I know have a hemorrhagic cyst which is extremely painful and a very lively and beautiful miracle child who is 3yrs old. I've mentioned hysterectomy because the pain is completely disruptive but the dr said by all rights my little girl shouldn't even be here-- so he's not going to say I cant have any more children. Soo...can you have children? I know sometimes even hope can be more painful than none--but if I can have a baby then I think it is possible for ANYONE!! I am not a religious zealot but her conception was truly a gift from God.

I can tell you from first hand knowledge that A) the reality and the risk of getting "hooked" on pain meds is very real and that B) the pain IS that bad. That's a part of the reason you can get hooked, nothing else works and then a tolerance is built and its insidious because before you know it you do have a problem. I've had cysts and endo for years, many laproscopic procedures, left ovary removed and an obgyn who is far from helpful. I had a cyst rupture and the pain was the closest thing to first onset of labor pains I've ever had, and my dr said to take motrin for the discomfort. MOTRIN!! I was in excruciating pain, not mere discomfort. I try to take non narcotics as much as possible--but sometimes there is nothing else. And the sad thing is the narcotics don't even get rid of most of the pain, just make it bearable. I'm going to be looking for a new obgyn tomorrow. My doctor may be technically good but not a help at all. He basically left it up to my discretion whether or not to do another laproscopic procedure for a hemorrhagic cyst on my only remaining ovary. I don't get any answers at all, I don't know how severe the situation may be, cancer runs in my family too--and all I get is if you feel better cancel surgery and we can reschedule down the road. Really? will I have to reschedule? what happens in the mean time? when is the "breaking point" to when a cyst surgery is no longer at my discretion and when its necessary? I guess my rant is that if your doctor now isn't giving you information in a way that makes you feel comfortable and knowledgeable--get a new one. find one that takes the time to listen to ALL concerns and stick with them. best of luck to your daughter. keep a close eye on her--if there is a cyst there will be pain..just watch for dramatic mood swings when she doesn't have the meds, going to many doctors to get meds if one doesn't prescribe them, and her taking them when it doesn't seem necessary. I take them when the pain is to the point that its disrupting my life--its so bad I cant walk, I cant work, etc otherwise you have to just suck it up, use a heat pad and pray

Hello guys I am 26 have a 3 year old child. C section. I got a medical termination of pregnancy done last year 2012 August. Since then I'm fine. Normal cycles and all. Once in a while I take that 72 hours pill if I had unprotected sex. Now I got pregnant last month and went to gyn. She did a scan and found out it was ectopic. And ruptured. I was already in pain. So they did a emergency lap and removed my left tube. Now it's been 27 days to surgery and feeling a dull pain fullness discomfort on my left side and also back pain. I went to gyn and she said I had a 0.5 cm hemorrhagic cyst on my left ovary. She said to just wait and watch and not to do anything at all. Is it ok. Will it resolve ? What if it ruptures ? I can't have another laparoscopy in just one month. I'm getting **** scared. Is my reproductive system all screwed up? What do I do now ? Pls advice

I have known I have had multiple ovarian cysts for a couple of years now. Nothing was ever really said as to what I could do. I am on Mirena as well. I ended up in the ER Wednesday night. I had the sudden, intense pain that comes with a rupture but rather than subsiding after a little while, it persisted. They found a 4cm HC on my left ovary. Followed up with the GYN yesterday and he told me that Mirena doesn't cause the cysts, but doesn't help to alleviate them as do some BC pills. I asked if I should take it out and switch to pills and he said that there was no need. I am due back in for another ultrasound in 2 weeks to see if the cyst has absorbed; if not, laproscopy. I am really happy I found this site! I have been researching for hours and this is the most real info that I have been able to find as to what will be done....not what should be.

[Hazeyu]

Mirena definitely can help the creation of ovarian cysts. Lots of doctors won't tell you though, thinking it's not 'common' or a problem, but the Mirena releases hormones and in a woman who already has wacked hormones, the IUD can make them worse, creating more cysts. I had my Mirena inserted 03/2015 and had to go to the ER to have it removed 08/2016 because it was starting to perforate and my uterus was infected. That was 9 months ago and I'm still dealing with the problems from the IUD. Also just had a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst rupture last week. I can't say at all that it's from the IUD, but I also never had any cyst even close to that bad in my life until my uterus was trying to recover from the IUD. Just please be careful and do NOT mess with those things. Mirena has a **** ton of law suits for perforating, migrating, etc

Hello,

I completely agree about getting a second opinion.

I was on and off sick for a few years (and especially in the months leading up to the rupture of my hemorrhagic cyst).  Though I regularly went to the gyno, no one 'picked up' that I had cysts, let alone a hemorrhagic one!  Even though I complained of abnormal pain and fever during periods, no one did an ultrasound (and a gynecologist years ago even LOST my ultrasound results and never got back to me).  If you think something is wrong and your doctor isn't pursuing the issue, PLEASE SEE A DIFFERENT DOCTOR.

After a long stint in the ER late this November, I was admitted to the hospital with doctors believing I had appendicitis.  I only found out after surgery and being seen by about 7 doctors that I had a hemorrhagic cyst that had burst and infected my colon.  They removed the appendix for good measure (since they were already in there and it would be one less thing to worry about in the future).  However, I didn't get many answers about.... well, anything.  They didn't even give me a straight answer as to whether or not my colitis was caused by the hemorrhagic cyst, though I suspect it was because it was only infected on the outside where the bleeding probably occurred, making it look like I had appendicitis.

Anyway, I'm hopeful but down for ANY ADVICE anyone can give me.  I've had horrible experiences with birth control pills (once where they made me gain 30 pounds in a month and a half/2 months, and the other where they made me listless and suicidal) so needless to say, I find the idea abhorrent and will refuse til I'm driven to it by knife point.  They made me completely unhealthy and the first time around, it took me 3 years to take off the weight.  The second time round, it took me 5 months to really dig myself completely out of the depression.

If anyone knows of any alternative therapies, I'd be very interested to hear your advice.  I refuse to believe that the only way to treat/prevent hemorrhagic cysts is with pills which not even the doctors can predict how they will affect the body.  That's a particular guessing game I won't take part in anymore.

There is hope.  I believe.  I've been living with chronic pain since age 11, and I'm 23 going on 24.  If I haven't given up, neither should you.

Hi there,

I have found out I have such a cyst after its rupture last December.  I was put on the pillule to diminish the symptoms, help it resorb and also to get my menstrual cycle back as it had stopped for a couple of months before the rupture.

I am now following by a gyno and last visit he was happy with how my 'insides' were compared to the prvious times.  However, I still have days (although less) where my cyst bugs me and in the tohse days I try to relax, rest and alternate hot and cold compresses on my back and lower belly area as it stimulates the blood clot in the cyst.

I am due to visit my second gyno in Europe in a couple of weeks so he can confirm my my normal gyno has just said.  It is a good idea to have second opinion doctors to reassure yourself but also get the max advice you can as the pain and the worry you can get from a small cyst is quite huge.  

Good luck to everyone out there with cysts...i know I have had to change certain things in my life (diet, work, etc) to reduce my cyst and endo symptoms...so you might think of that for yourself, it helps.

Thanks for all of these comments, very helpfu!  I was diagnosed recently with a 5.4 cm hemoragic cyst, which is leaning on my appendix (plus other cysts, fibroids and hemangioma on liver).  I wouldn't be surprised if I need a hysterectomy eventually & and I'd be fine with that!  My mom and sister had hysterectomies for similar issues.   I have faith in my doctor but it really does helps to hear what other women have gone through, especially since I am newly diagnosed and at times have incapacitating pain!  I already received conflicting advise from 2 dr's re:  laparoscopy vs the pill & differing recommendations on the certain pain meds etc.  The pill isn't helping my pain & other issues one bit - has anyone else experienced this?  I do realize that I'm just in the early stage of dealing with this.

[Tigger1117]

I also had the CA 125 test done and mine came up at 19.  These tests are not that accurate.  You can have a normal level and still have cancer or you can have a high level and not have cancer.  I suggest that you research the CA 125 test.
I also have a HC and am going to have surgery.  I had a hysterectomy 10yrs ago when I was 31, now this.  I just hope that this is the end of female surgeries.  I just feel that with the removal of the ovaries, I am loosing the last bit of my womanhood.  Does anyone else feel this way?  How do you deal with this?
Thanks!  Good luck to all of you!!

I am an sonographer and have also suffered from many cysts, both simple and hemorrhagic.  Many, many women have them; I see them multiple times a day.  As long as you are in your reproductive years, it is completely normal for your ovaries to make cysts.  Most of the time they just go away.  They are almost always nothing to worry about as they are normal and super, super common.

After having extreme abdominal pain, continued negative test and being called hyperconcriac I demanded that a laposcopy diagnosis be performed. Finally an answer resulting in PID and a hemorhagic cyst on right ovary. My Dr, whom is suppose to be good, did nothing with the scar tissue and cyst that was found,He stating that I would have to change life style and begin treating me with antibotics and that i would be taking antibitics for next couple of months. does that sound right to anyone whom experienced HC.

Well this message board seems like a total waste of time.  Tons of questions, scared women, but not a single answer.  What is the point of this?  For those of us dealing with this problem to just spew our questions and fear into the cosmos, and get nothing in return?  What a waste of mental energy and internet space.  I'm not even going to bother posting my story - it's very similar to many of the ones already on here, so why add the same questions and expressions of fear when nothing comes of it?  I was told to come here to get answers.  But all I find are dozens of the same questions.
