ovarian cysts..

I am 16 years old, I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts after many times to the hospital in may. I've been to my OB several of times. But everytime I go she kinda brushes off my symptoms. I'm having fatigue, low energy, frequent headaches, back pain, hip pain, and of course low abdominal pain. I'm also in constant pain, at times it gets worse. I was put on birth control for the hormones, for the hope the cysts would go away and I would start my period, I haven't had since August 26th. Is this normal? I cant concentrate on one thing anymore. I'm always thinking about the pain in in.

Have you had an ultrasound since May?  Are they monitoring the cysts?  It sounds as though you may need to be checked again.  Also, have they considered that you may have Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome?  I do not have it, but from what I understand, it can be painful and is several cysts line up (like a string of pearls).  You may consider getting another opinion if your current doctor is not taking you seriously.

I would try not to worry too much.  Cysts are pretty common and at your age, not usually something to worry about, but you need to get checked out, just to be on the safe side and rule out any other problems.

Hope all goes well.

Yes, I have had many ultrasound, they see follicles, which are the cysts. They can not see my left ovary, in any ultrasound. They say, I may have endometriosis also, but dont want to do a pointless surgery. They have me on birth control for the hormones for three more months and if it doesn't help or it stays the same they do want to do the surgery.
