Ovarian Cyst Resolved, but Still in Pain…?
I have been at home all week as my ovarian cyst has been giving me pain. I had an ultrasound done today, but unfortunately couldn’t get an appointment in with my doctor until next Tuesday. I was able to see my report with the nurse at the ultrasound, but of course she couldn’t answer any questions. The report stated that my cyst had resolved and that I had fluid in my tube, which may be related to my menstrual cycle. This is good news of course… I think I can pinpoint why I have been in pain all week. Perhaps it was this week that my cyst ruptured/resolved itself since I had pain since Tuesday this week. My question is: how long after a cyst is resolved do most people experience pain? The symptoms I had with the cyst haven’t really gone away. I get sore from moving, sitting too long, and pretty much anything that involves the muscles in the abdomen. I get the pain mostly on my left side (where my cyst was).
I’m just looking for some kind of feedback before Tuesday, maybe even questions I can ask my doctor…
I had an ovarian cyst but it was a nasty one. My pain was in my back and I had to have surgery to resolve my problem. I suppose that a rupture could leave you sore, but I would think it would not be as painful as an unraptured cyst. The fluid in your Fallopian tube could be causing your discomfort. Is there any chance you are pregnant? An ectopic pregnancy could be developing in your Fallopian tube. I wish I could be more help. My only suggestion is that, until you see your Doctor, watch your symptoms carefully and go to the ER if you experience sever pain or unexplained bleeding.
I don’t want to jump the gun by saying this but I have experienced and am still experiencing things like this with my body too. I never would have thought it but I have endometriosis. It wasn’t until several experiences with pain in my ovaries and cysts and things that caused pelvic pain that wouldn’t stay away that I had a laparoscopy (a small device inserted in my belly button to research the problem). I had adhesions and stuff pulling my organs together causig severe pain-endometriosis was growing all over. My doctor removed what he could and I’ve been better but not perfect. I have had cysts since the surgery. About 3. 1 was rather large and caused a lot of pain but once it went away I was not in pain at all. I don’t know if this helps, but I’d definitely keep in touch with your doctor! Good luck!
I had a very bad ovarian cyst. I was rushed to emergency because we didnt know what was wrong. I can say that once the ultra sound showed that it had burst and there was free fluid, it hurt for almost two weeks. It will hurt for as long as it takes the fluid to absorb into your body. There is something different there that shouldn’t be there. If you are prone to ovarian cysts (something to ask your dr) you may want to go on low hormone birth control such as Ortho Lo. This will help regualte your period which will help you to not get cysts. Every woman gets cyst that form during their cycle, but if your cycle is irregular, it can cause these cysts not to disapate on their own and then they get large and fill with fluid and burst. Regulating your cycle will help this. I have been on birth control for almost 4 years and have only had once cyst since. Good luck on Tuesday. The best thing to do is educate yourself about them and how to help them. P.S. putting a heating pad on helps and if you are on the go, there are therma heat strips you can get at the drug store, they are amazing!
Ive had the same pain. I couldn’t sit or stand for long periods of time (a half hour at the most) and walking was damn near impossible because of the pain. By the time I got to the the Dr. the pain was gone and the Dr. thought it was an ovarian cyst and when it ruptured that was causes all the pain, but now its been almost two years and I haven’t had anything else wrong.
