I get cysts regularly, I must have had 4/5 in the last year or two. They tend to grow to 3/4cm and then disappear. Gyne's tell me that they don't consider any removal/intervention options until they are at least 6/7cm. Many people report theirs to be 10cm plus at removal. Don't worry too much. One friend of mine gets them more often than me and she feels it when they burst. I don't. I am 45 and had a hysterectomy keeping my ovaries 4 years ago. What tends to happen for me is I'm asked to go back after three months and the cyst tends to have disappeared, then 3/4 months later a new one grows. The doctor should be able to tell if it's a simple or complex cyst with a scan, I always take a copy of mine and can see the type. Don't worry until you have something to worry about!
Good luck on Tuesday, let us know x

Hello Samantha,

Were yours cyst painful? If so what you used for pain reduce? Every month I go to so much pain... Like last stage of labor pain...

Hi you should be able to get a copy of your scan and the reports of diagnostics I am in New Zealand and it is possible I think the UK is the same.
That is the worst thing knowing that you have something there. But in a way detecting it earlier gives you a better chance for treatment. I was afraid and stressed out when I found out about what I have, but I did not stop asking questions and also feeling bad about the many questions I asked just like you. I am not afraid any more many thanks to the discussions from everybody. I am going for second opinion before sugery. Best wishes
Unfortunately I found that doctors won't intervene when they find a simple cyst less than 5/6cm and opt for the watch and see approach. Personalily I don't have pain with mine, but my friend is like you and has intense pain when hers pop. Sorry i can't recommend anything as I'm not in that position. Take care
So today I've been in agony with my lower back . Also I ate not much for tea but was soo full. When I went about an hour later to put my little ones teddy in his cot for bed time I unexpectedly threw up. Is this normal .belly is very swollen now ? Advice please xx
Becca,
Are you feeling weak, cold, faint? Not to be an alarmist but your cyst might have ruptured. Could be internal bleeding.
I've been freezing for the past 2 days. Not really faint , the odd dizzy spell now and again. My tummy still swollen today , feel like I've eaten loads but I haven't eaten since yesterday afternoon, I'm a bit scared to tbh incase I'm sick again x
Becca
At the very least call your Dr. and tell him your symptoms. He needs to take this seriously and make you a priority!
Also, get something for your pain! You need to be functional. I am so glad I did not have such severe symptoms. So many women, like you, suffer so much pain for so long and yet still function.
I will it's a bank holiday today so will have to wait till tomorrow. Hopefully getting results tomorrow x
Sooo my levels are dropping wich is great ! But now I have shingles. Apparently it's because I've been stressed. The pain I'm in atm is unbelievable, I'm not sure what's causing it though xxx
Geeze , you just can't get a break. Shingles is incredibly painful. What did they give you for pain?
That's awful Becca...as if you don't have enough pain and stress! Were you able to get it diagnosed quickly enough for the drug to be helpful? Hugs.
Yeah I didn't know till the rash appeard and went straight to doctors. They said it will probably scar but I'm hopeful it won't. Hopefully the tablets he gave me will get to work quickly. Thank you hope your well xxx
