18 months of cysts - are they connected?

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hey

About 18 months ago I started getting bad period pain, to the point I thought I was dying and had go curl up in a ball. they were irregular so some months I was fine and others it was agony. The third time it happened I went to the doc and got a scan where they found ovarian cysts. They weren't worried as they were a "one off" and they dismissed that I had had them before as there was no proof. I've not had that pain since and the following month was clear.

A number of weeks later I found a lump on my bikini line and went back to the doc who dismissed it and said it was a cyst likely due to an ingrown hair. After warm soaking and scrubbing it disappeared within 10 days.

Fast forward to now, I'm currently suffering from cysts/abscesses on my tail bone and taking antibiotics. I've been on them 4 days and they don't seem to be getting better so I may need them draining (I have 3 days left on the medicine so we shall see at that point).

My question is , could all of these things be connected and should I be worried? I'm only young (30) so I fear my doc isn't going to take me seriously if I ask the question. Is there something/further checks I should be requesting?
