Is It Normal to Gain Weight With an Ovarian Cyst?
I’ve been diagnosed by ultrasound with a 2" wide ovarian cyst. Along with some pain, I’ve also gained weight around the same time. (Flucuates between 4-7 lbs.) Also, most of the weight seems to be in the belly area, and no, I am not pregnant. Has anyone else experienced this? I can’t find much about it online, and my doctor seems to blow it off.
I have never heard of a correlation between ovarian cysts and weight gain. I have had some pretty large cysts since I was about 11 and at one point they counted over 20 small cysts on my ovaries. I never noticed any weight gain around that time, and I do not know of any reason that it would make you retain weight. But 4-7 pounds is not very significant. Many women fluctuate 3-5 pounds on a daily basis. If you are noticing weight in your belly, it is most likely water weight and bloating. There are just so many reasons to have put on a few pounds that fluctuate, and I just don’t think that ovarian cysts would be the cause. I have never heard this and it just doesn’t make sense. I am sorry for the pain you are in, and I definitely wouldn’t be too concerned about the weight. Best wishes.
Yeah I gained weight too and it really hurts to do belly exercises…
I hope you get better.
You can gain a little weight from having a cyes but not4-7 pounds, most of the time its just a2-3 pounds from the cyst itself, but the rest just could be water build-up.DOnt worry to much about it. the doctor will want you too take Bith-controll pills,to reduces the cyst,take care,
