evening all

ive had ongoing pain in my stomach and after recent ultrasound scans, my doctor has discovered i have cysts on both ovaries. I've been asked to go in for a vaginal swab before they refer me to Gynae as my bloods show no sign of PCOS.

My doctor orginally did a urine sample to test for pregnancy, would this have picked up any infections too (STD or otherwise) and would the doctor have told me this at the time?

Also want to know if anyone has experience of ovarian cysts on both sides? My doctor wants me referred as she thinks its unusual

    What kind of cysts? Fluid/simple or complex/dermoid? I've had both. If it's fluid they can be hella painful but should go away on their own.
