I thought it was another kidney stone but ct scan revealed numerous cyst on ovaries they gave me dilauid through i.v but when the meds wore off the pain came back hurting in groin area, hip and inner thigh and back, has anyone ever had those type of symptoms before? i mean really awful pain!! how was the cysts treated? any input would be greatly appreciated!!
I have had some experience treating cysts on the ovaries.
First off, what did your doctor say your treatment was to be? Did one of you cysts rupture? Sometimes this can be the cause of acute pain leading to an ER trip.
Do a google on PCOS. Poly cystic overian syndrome. This is a much more common problem then you may think. It also usually shows with other symptoms such as increased body hair, difficulty losing weight, high risk of diabetes type 2, etc. There are many women who have PCOS.
There has been good success in treating PCOS using chinese medicine. I have had good results with my patients. Even if you are afraid of acupuncture, chinese herbal formulas especially can help to control the pain and lessen the cysts.
Good luck
I’m pretty sure my sister had one of those, and they needed to remove the ovary. Which is ok, since you have another one. She was in terrible pain too.
Yes, ovarian cysts can indeed cause severe pain. You need to see your OB/GYN as soon as possible to schedule surgery to have them removed and you will be amazed at the releif you will receive from the surgery. The following was taken from : MayoClinic.com
Signs and symptoms
You can’t depend on symptoms alone to tell you if you have an ovarian cyst. In fact, you’ll likely have no symptoms at all. Or if you do, the 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.
Still, it’s important to be watchful of any symptoms or changes in your body and to know which symptoms are serious. If you have an ovarian cyst, you may experience the following signs and symptoms:
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 (dyspareunia)
Nausea, vomiting or breast tenderness similar to that experienced during pregnancy
Fullness or heaviness in your abdomen
Pressure on your rectum or bladder — difficulty emptying your bladder completely
The signs and symptoms that signal the need for immediate medical attention include:
Sudden, severe abdominal or pelvic pain
Pain accompanied by fever or vomiting
There is a lot more information and there are several good medical sites as well as MayoClinic.com such as WebMD.com, Medscape.com, etc just as there are a lot of sites that have no business giving medical advice. Be careful and make sure they are approved by the American Medical Association as well as some of the recognized medical publications such as the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of American Medical Association. Most importantly though, get in to see your OB/GYN right away and get yourself taken care of. God be with you my dear and may you get treated and be healed soon.
