5cm Ovarian Cyst on my right ovary.
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have a 5cm Ovarian Cyst on my right ovary. I was told that females usually get them right before, during, and it goes away after menstrual cycle. The pain on the right side is there whether or not I'm on my period. When I hold using the bathroom I feel pain. When I walk sometimes I feel pain. My gynecologist proscribed be a new birth control to help swelling of the cyst and relieve pain. However I'm still feeling pain, pain that is tolerable nothing to bad to where I cant do anything. It doesn't hurt when I'm sexually active nor do I have random bleeding. Is this still a Cyst?? if so is there anyway it has gotten bigger??

I had cysts on both of my ovaries they were both small so they didn't do anything about them then all of a sudden the one on my left side had gotten bigger and i am going to have my ovary and part of my tube removed but the one that was on my right side had went away. I wasn't having pain now i am you will have to get an ultrasound to see if it has gotten bigger.

"... Is this still a Cyst?? if so is there any way it has gotten bigger??"
Hi skinsey, Sorry you're going through this. Like tracy experienced, they can get bigger. Like what happened to Eliaimee and tracy they usually go away. It can be slow for big ones. Sometimes three months before they don't show on the ultrasound. Some cysts cause urgency to pee. So, yeah, bladder and ovaries are right next to each other. Makes sense the cyst would hurt when a full bladder pushes on it. Only your doctor would know for sure.
IMPORTANT: The FDA has approved new warnings and guidlines for some birth control pills. Some doctors, even gynecologists, are still using the old prescribing protocols. Please look up your old BC pill and your new one. Serious side effects are listed under "Warnings" or "Risks." If cysts are there, they may not also be listed in side effects/adverse reactions. Do NOT be confident in any package insert, leaflet, brochure or webpage dated before mid 2017. And, only trust U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) websites. Here's how often you will find the corrected new guidelines and information:
DailyMed (NIH) for doctors - Package Insert (PI) - almost always
*MedLibrary, for doctors - Package Insert (PI) - usually
PubMed Health (NIH), for consumers and clinicians - often
*MedLibrary, for patients - leaflets and brochures - Patient Package Insert (PPI) - often
Medline Plus (NIH), for patients, family and friends - seldom
*Not recommended. MedLibrary is confusing. It's hard to know if your reading the PI or the PPI. It doesn't say on the webpages. The FDA website links to MedLibrary to report adverse reactions (med jargon for side effects). So, please do go there to report a cyst or any other side effect.
Even though the FDA and the NIH are dot government websites, Medlibrary is not. It is a dot organization website.
