I have an ovarian cyst,please help me

You will probably get cysts off and all all your like. Most go away on their own some require surgery.

I had my first cyst at 16 and had an operation to remove my appendix but it was probably the cyst rupturing.  My second noticeable one came at 63 although I had some small follicle cysts in my 40s.  I have 3 grown up children - so don't worry. They can come and go but won't necessarily stop you being fertile and  having a normal life. 

I think they actually told you, which kind of cyst it was:

a hemorrhagic cyst.

That is a simple, only blood filled cyst, no growth inside, so called functional (= normal within a cycle) cyst, it seems not even suspicious to be a chocolate cyst (endometrioma, benign, but will not go away on its own).

Usually it is very hard to tell the difference via ultrasound or MRI, if it was a hemorrhagic or chocolate cyst if fibrin (a blood clotting protein) causes some white stripes, but it's a good start, if the cyst looks purely hemorrhagic (simple, liquid) and nothing else.

Luteal cysts are often hemorrhagic due to the follicle cyst releasing the egg and then bleeding into it.

My daughter constantly has those hemorrhagic cysts (in a row of imaging due to other abdominal pain problems found 3 times on different locations),

we even have a nice pic of this so called 'large hemorrhagic cyst' during laparoscopy and she is only 14.

Her hemorrhagic cysts always disappeared on their own (about 3cm), but not within one cycle, they would stay about 2 months and cause another day of intense pain when rupturing.

So now she is on the Levlen pill, which is said to do something for new cyst formation (does nothing about existing cysts or complex cysts of course),

currently non-stop for 3 months before we allow a pill-stopp bleed and go on taking it again continuously for 3 months.

I had her checked 2 months after pill taking if the laparoscopic (and not removed, since functional) so called 'large blood filled' cyst was gone and it was.

Under pill now no big hemorrhagic cyst is seen anymore (and doesn't solve her pain problems, but another pain on top of it.)

Functional (if follicle or luteal) simple cysts are known to burst on their own (hence disappear) up to 6cm in size. That's a statistic. 6cm and over the chances for simple cysts for self-disappearance get smaller.

Hence I think they will have said to you

to check on you via ultrasounds or MRIs again in a few months time,

what this cyst is doing, if it was growing, staying, going away or if it was not hemorrhagic after all and go from there.

This is normal procedure.

Simple (only liquid filled) cysts can disappear on their own especially if smaller than 6cm in diameter. But if bigger sometimes still need surgical removal even if it was a functional cyst only since they squeeze the ovary and play havoc with the hormones or could get too heavy for the ovary and pull and twist it.

Complex cysts never do disappear and need to be taken out, also to prove histologically what they were made of.

What the rest of your life offers you regarding cysts,

no one can tell.

I had my fair share, I always (so does my daughter) have many small cysts, which is regarded normal (looks pretty, like a string of pearls),

we are not polycystic ovary though.

I had a 5cm cyst that looked simple, but didn't go away over 2 years, but grew to 9cm (never any symptoms) and then knew why once at hospital: it was a complex cyst,  a dermoid benign cyst in my late 20s. The removal was easy.

Some claim certain diets could help with cyst formation (multiple or size. Remember: a functioning ovary does have to form cysts for eggs to develope).

For me and my daughter only the pill did the trick,

but I am off it now for 20 years and had no cyst problems ever since operation, but it might come back again and having been there, done that, am not scared.

Best wishes!

You need to be checked again and I cross my fingers and toes that is simply has vanished as they should.

If not, don't be too scared, the surgery for cyst removals are really, really good, routine, well experienced, you feel nothing and laparoscopic with this size: also scar wise very small impact. The ones on my 14 yr old post laparoscopy daughter's belly are hardly visible now (but was months of after care), her belly button looks like a fading smily.

All the best!
