I do know that PCOS may make difficult for you to conceive, but it doesn't mean that you can't ever have children.\n\nThe disorder runs in my family, and I was told by my doctor that the best bet would be to stay on birth control pills until the time comes when I am ready to try to get pregnant. The hormones in the pills are supposed to slow the progress/development of the symptoms.\n\nYour doctor can do a symptom checklist to see if you fit the requirements for PCOS. If you do, or even if you don't, it might be a good idea to talk with your doctor about birth control hormone therapy.

When you are ovulating you are at your most fertile so definately do not have unprotected sex because you are highly likely to conceive.\n\nAs for your pains some women experience  discomfort others do not but you should go to your doctor and get checked out as your fallopians may be blocked making you susceptible to ectopic pregnancy or you may have cysts or infection which could be causing you pain.

NO, a benign cyst does not "turn" into cancer.  It's is either benign or a cancerous ovarian tumor.  Cysts are very common.  Some will rupture on their own, others require surgery.  Get away from the ER doc and get a GYN to evaluate you.

Make sure you get a second opinion, and even a third opinion if you want.  This is a surgery that will not only make you unable to have kids, but change the way you feel.  You will probably choose to have hormone replacement therapy.  Three people in my family have had hysterectomy's.  They did not develop man-like characteristics or any of those problemsn that are rumoured.  Do what's best for you to lead a pain-free life, and a life where you aren't having to go to the Dr. all the time.  If you haven't had any children, or want to have more, ask about getting some of your eggs harvested.  They can be saved and then fertilized and carried by a surrogate.  Some Dr.'s won't tell you about this option so ask around.  Whatever you choose to do, good luck.

You likely have an ovarian cyst.... that is the main cause of irregular periods and pain in hte lower abdomen. \nCysts are a normal occurence at every ovulation, but sometimes a cyst can get blocked up, and close over. The cyst goes from functional (which is the normal monthly one) to something else. There are several types; Hemmhoragic, which bleed into itself and cause pain, Dermoid, which actually begin to grow things like teeth and hair, and Endometrial cysts (or chocolate cysts), that are cysts of endometrial tissue. If an endometrial cyst ruptures, then you have endometrial tissue in the abdominal cavity, where it can create adhesions. \nCysts are watched by ultrasound, and determined if they need to be removed usually if they last longer than two months. \nCysts are removed either laproscopically, which has three small incisions (one for a little camera and two for little tools that remove and drain the cyst), or laparotomy, which has a much larger "bikini-cut" incision. A Laparotomy is usually used to remove large cysts that cannot be removed through the small incisions, or if a cyst is determined to need a biopsy.

you can still get pregnant with getting your tubes tied. On the other hand, you may have cysts. I had some several years ago that was producing sharp pains on my left side and ab region. Going to a doctor will be the best advice, because they can run a few different ultrasounds, to see what is going on in there. Please don't wait too long thinking it will get better. If you do have cysts, sometimes they can treat them, others require surgery. Mine required surgery, b/c i waited for 8 months before going to the doctor. Good luck and God Bless.

I can speak from personal experience regarding ovarian cysts. The fact that both times she had pain from the cysts neither of the doctors gave her a vaginal exam. However, CTs and ultrasounds work just as well. She would really benefit from seeing an OB/GYN.  Especially if she's not having regular periods and if she is getting more of these pains. It could indicate Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome.  It's basically many cysts on the ovaries and occasionally they can become inflamed or irritated. There are many treatments for the illness one of which is birth control. Check out this web page for more info. http://www.pcosupport.org/\n\nHope this helps.

Most women have probably had an ovarian cyst at one time or another, but they don't know it. Many cysts develop and disappear on their own over the course of a couple of months. There are different kinds of cysts, and the kind you had will make a difference. I had a cyst that was the size of a golf ball and didn't know it until I had a CT scan for a kidney stone. A month after the scan (after dealing with the kidney stone), I saw my gynecologist and she sent me in for an ultrasound. The cyst was completely gone. She told me that standard practice used to be to do a biopsy when the cyst was as large as mine, but now they just monitor them, and deal with them if they cause pain, bleeding, or other symptoms. \n\nIt's good that you're going to see your doctor.

They can rupture causing extreme pain and sometimes bleeding that may require surgery to control. If you have numerous cysts that rupture it can lead to scarring of the ovaries and possibly infertility.  Many women have cysts at some point that rupture they have some pain but associate it with pulled muscles or bad cramps.  Persistent pain or chronic cysts may indicate other medical issues that need to be treated. You need to see your OBGYN and talk with him or her about cysts, treatment options and how they can affect your fertility. Women with multiple cysts should be checked out for poly cystic ovarian syndrome. there is a medication called Metformin that is very useful in treating this disorder and in many cases has restored fertility in some women.

PCOS can make it very difficult for you to get pregnant.  Weight is a major factor, but so are hormones.  It's not impossible, but you need to be prepared to take fertility treatments.  Keep losing the weight and keep trying.  It's not impossible, just difficult.

Sorry to say pal, but I have had the same thing and I am only 17. Hydrocele, once you have had it once, makes you more apt to get it again. I have had it 3 times already, and have had to have 3 surgeries for it. I don't know if you are fertile, but my doctor told me that I am going to be infertile because of the vericocele, and hydrocele.Hope I helped, if so can you please give me the best answer, as I have only gotten it once.  GOOD  LUCK!!!!

You NEED to see a doctor. \nYou could have an ovarian cyst or some other problem. It could lead to infertility. \nThe doctor is really not so bad, it's only scary the firsty time because you don't know what to expect. Go with your mom or someone else who will make you feel comfartable and has been through this before. If the cramps are really that bad the doc can prescribe something or put you on the pill. The pill will regulate your period and reduce the pain, if you take it for a while even after you stop you period will be more regular and not hurt as much as it did before. I know about painful periods, Trust me, the pill was the only thing that helped.

Yes I had to have a total hysterectomy because of cyst on my ovaries and I'm only 27 years old. I had it about 3 months ago and the only thing that I really had to deal with was depression because I thought  that I was too young and I really wanted to have kids. Good luck to you I hope all goes well.

It could possibly be an ovarian cyst, although if you had an ultrasound over your ovaries, it should have shown up.  However, it might have burst, if the pain that shot down your thigh is any indication.  In that case, when you do get into an OBG/YN, request that you have an ovarian ultrasound and/or a laberoscopy.\n\nMost doctors will say that it's impossible to have a cyst for more than a month, tops.  But don't give up.  I had one for six months that went ignored and then a year later I had to have surgery to remove from all of the scar tissue from when it burst.

I have had two beautiful sons, and have had a chronic cyst on my right ovary as well, for a long time.  They can get larger, then rupture, then be smaller for a while and then get larger again.  The DR will likely just keep an eye on it during your pregnancy to make sure it isn't hindering anything, but other than that there shouldn't be any problems from it.  Other than the fact, as you already know of course, they are not particularly comfortable.  GL!

Many women have cysts on their ovaries and never even know it.  Most of the time the cysts re-absorb back into the body but sometimes a cyst can become large and cause abdominal pain.  Usually if you give it time the cyst will resolve itself but in some cases it can grow larger and become an aggravating problem with continuing pain.\n\nYour Doctor will probably order an ultrasound to determine the location and size of the cyst and if there is any danger involved.\n\nAfter those results come back to him, he will recommend the proper treatment.\n\nMost of the time worst case scenario would be for them to do a Laproscopic procedure to remove the cyst if it is problematic or in my case if a cyst bursts inside your ovary, they would have to remove the entire ovary also a very minor surgical procedure.\n\nTry not to worry about it too much until you get more information from your Doctor.  What happened to me is extremely rare.\n\nGood luck and God Bless!

There is no danger to your health. \n\nPoly Cystic Ovarian Disease can cause pain and missed periods. It can also make it dificult to concieve children. A diabetic diet and prescribed hormone tablets are the usual way of dealing with PCOD. Magnisium and chromium suppliments are also helpful.\n\nSometimes a woman will get a cyst on the overies when she is pregnant. It can get quite large but after the child is born the cyst dissapears. This is a normal occurance.\n\nOther types of cysts require surgical removal. \n\nYour girlfriend obviously has already been to a doctor and had her particular condition diagnosed. As you can see from the above, there are a number of diferent types of cysts. The best source of information regarding the type she has will come from your girlfriend's doctor.
