anyone ever have cysts on their ovaries?

Question

I think I might... I have been bleeding for a week and a half, passed two huge clots the size of a golf ball and a baseball about five days ago, and I am bleeding heavy again today, with a few smaller clots. I have an appt tomorrow and am scared of what I will find out. Never had sexual intercourse, have had mutual masterbation with fiance and i am on depo provera.

Answer 1

I'm sorry you are bleeding so heavily! I had my first cyst when I was 14, and had only ever kissed a boy, so sexual activity level doesn't necessarily effect the occurrence of a cyst.
There are several kinds of ovarian cysts, not all of which need surgery. my first cyst, I didn't have to have surgery, I just had to take synthetic hormones to get rid of it. The second one I had, I did have to have surgery. I was scared!!!
In the end, it comes down to, it's better to know what's causing your body to go so haywire... Even if it is something scary, once you know what it is, then you can start to solve the problem. If you've been bleeding for so long, you're probably anemic too, take iron pills, and they'll improve.
Your doctor will do some exams tomorrow, most of which are simply uncomfortable, but not painful: typical Gyno stuff, the manual exam to check your uterus and ovaries, if it is a cyst, they'll likely do an ultrasound. the internal one is uncomfortable, but not really painful...
but really, the anticipation is so much worse than the answer. The time in between finding out i had to have surgery, and having the surgery was the most nerve wracking for me, personally. But you heal, and you move forward.
and remember: even if they have to take out the whole ovary... you still have another one. My mother had two children with only one ovary.
and if they end up having to take out both (unlikely), you can ask them to harvest eggs first, so that you can later have them implanted into your uterus.
and if you have to have the whole kit-n-caboodle taken out... harvest the eggs, and get a surrogate. That way the child is still biologically yours and your fiancee's, and hey, at least that way you won't have to go through the pain of childbirth.
there is a silver lining to ANY cloud.
I know it's scary, but know that with a sweet friend/fiancee/parent holding your hand, you can get through it.

Uterine fibroids are usually not dangerous, but can cause immense discomfort and lead to complications like anemia from heavy blood loss. In rare cases, they may cause complications that affect pregnancy.

In cases where there are no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. However, proper diagnosis and treatment may be required if your symptoms are severe or causing complications. Along with conventional treatment, you can try some natural home remedies. Read here https://tr.im/Dz026

Answer 3

Ovarian cysts often cause no symptoms; however when ovarian cyst symptoms are present, it may cause a dull ache or a sense of fullness or pressure in the abdomen. You can't depend on symptoms alone to tell you if you have an ovarian cyst. Pain during intercourse and at other times can also indicate the presence of ovarian cysts. Pain or pressure is caused by a number of factors such as size, bleeding or bursting of a cyst, which irritates the abdominal tissues, or torsion (twisting of a cyst) which can block the flow of blood to the cyst.

The ovarian cyst symptoms may be similar to those of other conditions, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy or ovarian cancer. Even appendicitis and diverticulitis can produce symptoms that mimic a ruptured ovarian cyst. It's important to be watchful of any symptoms or changes in your body and to know which symptoms are serious.

Other ovarian cysts symptoms, which might occur, include delayed, irregular, or unusually painful periods.
If you have an ovarian cyst, symptoms are:

Menstrual irregularities.
Pelvic pain - a constant or intermittent dull ache that may radiate to your lower back and thighs. Pelvic pain shortly before your period begins or just before it ends. Pelvic pain during intercourse
Nausea, vomiting or breast tenderness similar to that experienced during pregnancy
Fullness or heaviness in abdomen.
Pressure on bladder - difficulty emptying your bladder completely.
Sudden, severe abdominal or pelvic pain
Pain accompanied by fever or vomiting

Types of Ovarian Cysts


Functional Cysts: These normal cysts will often shrink and disappear within two or three menstrual cycles. Because this type of cyst is formed during ovulation it rarely occurs in menopausal women because eggs are no longer being produced.
Dermoid Cysts: Ovarian cysts which are filled with various types of tissues including hair and skin.
Endometrioma Cysts: These cysts are also known as the chocolate cysts of endometriosis and form when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus attaches to the ovaries.
Cystadenoma Cysts: These are ovarian cysts which develop from cells on the outer surface of the ovaries
Polycystic Ovarian Disease: Cysts that form from a buildup of follicle cysts which cause the ovaries to thicken. These cysts cause the ovaries to enlarge and create a thick outer covering which may prevent ovulation from occurring and are often the cause of fertility problems.
