Hi all , short as I can ..ive suffered. Pain in my lower. Abdomen. Since. Having my first child almost. 13 years ago now ..ive had so many different. Tests .. And everytime. Pushed and told I have IBS ..i never believe. Them as I know. My own body ..ive been. Scanned. And shown cysts b4 and then just sent home and ignored...back in 2012 just. After we re located south ..england ...i had a scan that showed. What they said was an abnormal cyst ..next doc said it looked. Like a endometriosis cyst..so I had a laproscopy ..told it was just. A fybroid and left in pain ...since. I have had my 3rd child and when pregnant scan showed. Yet another. Cyst ...again ignored...so I asked back November 2014 for a scan ...had it December 15th ...guess. It showed. A cyst ...the lady asked id I ever had a name for my cysts ...well not. Really ....so she said it looks. Like a dermoid. Cyst....about 1 hour after getting. Home my doctor. Called and told me its a large. Cyst and he has referred me to a gyno . Wich my app is on the 22nd Jan 2015 ...i rang doc back with a few questions he didn't really say much but I asked him how long has it been there and he told me its the same one I had in 2012 ...im now left confused and a little angry I've been messed around so long...his wife doctor a few weeks b4 gave me ibs pills and just went on telling me how we all get cysts and they go but my pain is ibs ..... I know its not :-( my side is hurting my lower tummy , my back ..odly my right leg im really hoping this time I get answers .

    hi Amy and Sylvia, an update on me, just got back from seeing gynae. He is going to do a laparoscopy to see what is going on. Exactly same as you Amy he said my cyst is small so isn't convinced that is causing the problem, and that it may be endometriosis. He was very unimpressed with the CT scan results that I had in Nov, as they simply state small cyst, no info on exact size or type or anything. Not good especially since I paid privately for it! Anyway either way the op should reveal all. I have to wait up to 16 weeks for it though he has put me on a cancellation list also, as I can do short notice. Feeling a bit more positive after today! Xx

      Hi louise - I live in North east england. The hospital was James Cook,Middlesbrough. From a random scan for something else (cystitis) which was fine on Dec 10th(they found cysts) I went Dec 17,Dec24,Jan12th then operation on Jan 27th. A total of 7 weeks from start to finish.Your CT scan should have shown more. Mine said 2 cysts and gave the size of each. Hope you get seen to soon x

    Its not IBS I had severe back back, side, and lower back pain before my 4cm cyst was removed recently in July 2014. I feel much better since the larascopic surgery. The key to having a good diagnosis is to have a good GYN. Please see another Dr preferably gyn to get an accurate diagnosis. I thought it was IBS to, but it wasn't. The longer the cyst remains the worser the pain.

    Had my scan today and different scan lady said it does look like a dermoid cyst and it has grown since December it's now 51/2 cm so hoping they say on the 12th March that they will remove it
