IBS Symptoms With 3.5 cm Cyst - Anyone else?

Posted , 2 users are following.

I was diagnosed with a 4.9 cm septated ovarian cyst in September. It's now 3.5 cm. I've had all kinds of IBS symptoms : constipation and loose stools, sometimes I don't go for a day, the next I'll go three times in an hour. (sorry for the tmi!) I mentioned it to my obgyn and he did a fecal occult test, which was negative. I realize these can also be symptoms of ovca. I had a ca-125 and it was 16, which I know isn't always accurate. Anyone else have ibs symptoms with their cyst?

      I'm not bloated, but I have loose stools and constipation, sometimes the same day! My cyst is septated, but my obgyn said it's functional, so I'm wondering if it's hormones. I get nausea sometimes too, but I still have an appetite. Hope everything goes well for you!
