Some advice please.a couple of month ago I found out I had a 5.2cm fluid filled cyst on my left ovary. Had my next ultrasound scan this week and it has gone but I've got one on my right ovary now just a little bit smaller so having another scan in 6 weeks and it looks like I'm getting one every cycle.the nurse said to talk to my doctor and discuss my contraception options. I've been on the mini pill for about 2 years and was on the combined pill before that for about 12 years with no problems but had to come off due to headaches. Last time I saw the doc she suggested the mirena coil or the injection but I don't want either of them. Am I out of options or does anyone know another suggestion? Or do i just live with them and take painkillers ? I get bloated and uncomfortable and bottom of my back aches and pain on the side of the cyst. The pain normally starts around when i ovulate and calms down after my second period.(I have 2 a month at the moment).
Hi Michelle, they sound like 'functonal cysts)! Try going to the top of this page, 'Womens Health Ovarian cyst' click on that and see if you can find more info on them. They happen when you ovulate and quite a lot of women get them. They can be controlled by birth control but you will have to discuss this further with your gynaecologist to decide which method is best for you. Hope this helps. I think others may come on and give more advice but it's the weekend so you might have to wait. See what other info you can find on this forum as I explained above. Best wishes, Poll X
my doctor put me on Nuvaring a year ago to keepp me from getting cyst, but I had an ovarian cyst on my right ovary and I had it removed 1 week and 2 days ago! he changed my ring where I leave it in for 4 weeks so that way i dont have a period so now maybe I will not get cyst anymore! I guess I will find out later on this year! I wish you the best of luck
Experimente diferentes fórmulas. O meu primeiro anticoncepcional irritou o meu intestino, então minha ginecologista trocou a fórmula. Tem funcionado muito bem comigo. Mesmo o médico dizendo que o anticoncepcional não ajuda com a dor, mas que ajuda a parar a ovulação e, portanto, o crescimento, estou convencida de que o novo comprimido realmente ajuda com a dor.
Espero que isso tenha ajudado e boa sorte.
