Ovarian Dermoid Cyst - Very Painful!!

Hi

I totally relate to you. I had a lot of bladder infections and uti, but a really painful dull ache at bottom of back. Constant and then in waves at times excruciating 2-4hrs where all I can do is lie with eyes shut till it passes. Exhausted. Am currently taking cocodomol which means pain is doable most of the time. Had ct scan-which I had to push for-found dermoid ovarian cyst 5x5. This is the cut off at this size onwards needs to go as can twist and rupture ovary. Should've done within 7 weeks, had apt, had letter putting it back another 4 weeks so now going private. The pain at times is so intense and makes you feel sick and faint. Kick up a stink and fight for what you need. Heat pads help

I am having the same symptoms you ladies are having.. Ladies don't sit in pain Call your gym doctor how much pain your in and aso are there any other options. I am going to have another pelvic ultrasound in the morning then the nurse will schedule the surgery. When I had my appointment with the gyn, she said I would automatically go into menopause . Hell I'd rather go into meneupause than to sit here in this awful pain.. Cause I can't take it anymore.. Check with your GYN.. Please. I registered on this site so if anyone doesn't know what other options there are at least maybe one of you would know.. I feel all of you all's pain. I wish men could go what we go through. But we are stronger and we get through it.. Peace. Feel better. Alea

I am currently scheduled for a hysterectomy in mid January 2018. I have been dealing with pain for almost 2 months. It is like nothing I have ever dealt with before. Sharp twisting pain in lower right pelvic area that moves down into my leg. I can hardly walk and it goes up into my low back and ribs. Muscle spasms and everything. I try heating pads ibuprofen anything and none of it helps. In tears most nights and I am not sure what to do. It is incredibly debilitating dealing with this every day. Any suggestions as to what I could try. Urgent care? ER? I have an appt with primary next Monday but I am not very hopeful anything will come of it. 

Hi, similar experience here!

I was told I have a right ovarian dermoid 3.2cm in size. After 2 months I had another check and it has grown to 3.5cm. My dermoid, I have been told twists a lot and I was all booked for my operation to remove it. But since then I fell pregnant and my surgery was cancelled due to risk of miscarriage. Drs said no surgery can be performed whilst I am pregnant and surgery will be done 6-12 weeks after my baby is born. I am now 14 weeks pregnant and in a lot of pain. My dermoid twists a lot. Drs have said that it could rupture aswell. Really worried as I still have a long time until baby arrives and this dermoid is already debilitating me. The pain is unbearable. I fear it will get worse as my baby grows bigger. 😔

27 years old. 4cm dermoid cyst was discovered on my right ovary during annual gyno exam. No symptoms/pai n/discomfort whatsoever. Given the choice to leave it or get it taken out. Chose to get it removed (keyhole surgery).

Had the surgery yesterday. Relatively pain free straight after op. Today was more sore. Painful ribcage and shoulders from gas. Tenderness and bloating of stomach. Slightly harder to get around. Severe constipation. Working from home for first 2 days and plan on being back in the office by the third day.

Btw for anyone having to have an ovary removed - this does not affect your fertility!

Glad I caught mine in my 20s, the women in their 50s just finding them sound like they're going through Hell

Everyone, go to your annual appointmemts!!! Prevention is key!

Iam in the same boat. Waiting for surgery to remove 3 dermoid cysts. I have alot of fluid and pain, and bloating. The cysts are continuing to grow. They are the size of oranges currently and growing. I just wanted you to know your not alone, and I hope everything goes well with your surgery. Hugs.

As  a male I cannot actually know what it is like   But males do get these  or similar cysts. I suggest a book written by LOUIS BERNIERS called I believe 'The Children of Cardinal Suzman'.  My granddaughter has just had an op to remove a dermoid cyst. She was ill enough to report to one of the Lonon Hospitals whilst visiting friends and was diagnosed with an OVARIAN cyst. She was give a date for surgery  there and then in less than a month.  The 'op'  revealed that she had a DERMOID cyst as described elsewhere on these pages.  A week later she still feels bloated but had enough sense to ask questions.She has been tols dthat the 'bloating is most likely to be as the result of the KEYHOLE SURGERY that require CO2 to be pumped into the body cavity  soas to 'spread' the cavity. I'm surprised thaatv this has not been mentioned on these pages as far as I can see, She has been told that the CO2 will dissipate in time.  THgere are also ion thezse pages several references to ALTERNATIVE medical treatmentsNOT a good idea and remarks like 'it is known' and 'it is proven' regarding such treatments  is DANGEROUS. Any treatment whether alternative or conventional that effects physiology will have SIDE EFFECTS however minor.  Because something is labelled as being  'natural' DOES NOT MEAN NO SIDE EFFECTS. Heroin, Opium, Morphine, Nicotine, Cannabis. Cocaine Hemlock, Deadly Nightshade [ATROPINE -under control used as an anti-nerve agent] are all NATURAL.
