Another ovarian cyst question....looking for advice?

Question

Well about three years ago my doctor told me that I had a cyst on my ovary. No big deal no worries, but as time went by it began to cause pain when ovulating, and now it is constant. Mind you it has been progressing for three years. Now it is anytime i sit down or drive i can feel the presure. I finally asked her to do something and she has made an appointment for me to have an ultrasound at the hospitol. However, I was reading up on cysts on web md and it says they should never last more than a couple months.

Should i be worried, and should my doctor done something more within the past three years?

Answer 1

when i found out i have an ovarian cyst, my gyn always have it checked out to see if its growing, with a sonagram (and she had me go to her every 3 months).

Answer 2

look into PCOS...polycysterian ovarian syndrome...it is an incurable condition and it occurs to 10% of women and it is a condition that is poorly discussed by doctors because the symptoms are hard to string together.,..the MDs in the USA SUCKED big time at helping my wife...they had to see an Xray taken from a different country before they'd consider it...then because of their stupid pride..they wanted their own xray because an xray from a different country tells them nothing...

but when they did.....funny they got the same results....

Answer 3

what kind of doctor do you have......he should of gave you meds that shrink it or removed it.....i use to have this problem....and now i've had a total hysterectony......at 28 yrs old...endometrios could be posable........i would have a 2nd opinion for sure......you could bleed to death if it gets big enough and bursts......make sure you get this taken care of......it can cause problems if your wanting children
