Has any woman ever had problems with overian cysts?

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.

I had a very stubborn ganglion that would not respond to aspiration, immobilization or surgery.  After the 3rd surgery, it finally was gone for good and I haven't had any re-occurance for the last 20 years.  They put some kind of special mesh covering over my wrist bones that made the cyst unable to grow back.

Well it depends what kind of cysts she has. There are some that are just cyclical..meaning, they grow and burst each month. Those are considered "normal". If she has one that continues to remain large, it will most likely need to be removed surgically. Often a woman can lose that ovary. You should try to find out what kind she has for more information.\n\nSide effects..the cylical ones hurt when they burst.

Have you seen a doctor about this?  Have you tried anything?  Have you gone through menopause yet?

I used to get lumps myself on my labia.  It occured between the ages of around 25-32 or so.  My doctor said, in my case, they were probably the result of a blocked sweat pore or ingrown hair.  Usually, I treated it with warm wash clothes and in a few days they would go away.  Once, I was going to be going on a trip which involved a lot of walking, so my OB/GYN lanced the lump, so it would drain and put me on antibotics.  This is some of the info I have gotten from my own research....\n\nIt could be a Bartholin's gland cyst. The Bartholin's gland is just inside the entrance to the vaginal canal and produces the lubricating fluid that protects this tender area and aids in penetration during intercourse. A trauma or infection in this area could block the gland and cause a buildup of secretions. These cysts are fairly easy to excise (cut into) and drain. At this point, it's clear the cyst is bothering you, so you should make sure your doctor knows that you're experiencing discomfort or pain. The fact that you've already had the cyst evaluated by a doctor means this probably isn't anything to be terribly concerned about. But you need to make sure your doctor hears you when you tell him or her that it is uncomfortable, and you want something to be done to correct it. \n\nAND:\n\nMany bumps that occur in the labia majora are known as sebaceous cysts. They result when oily material blocks a sebaceous duct or gland in the skin. Sebaceous cyst are benign and usually ignored unless they become infected or painful. These cysts may disappear spontaneously or remain in place without causing any problems.\n\nHowever, the only way for sure to know what the bumps are is to be examined by a doctor. Seeing a doctor will give you a definitive diagnosis and help relieve your anxiety.

I would hate to say yes you should be worried but you definitely should be more concerned and vigilant. If I were you I'd definitely go back to my doctor as soon as possible. Ovarian cysts are very serious though sometimes doctors can downplay this fact. Did your doctor do a follow up after you went off your birth control? It's important to have the cysts monitored to see if they are enlarging or shrinking. They may need to be removed. I wish you luck!!!!

Possibly you had a cyst that broke, but I would have thought the dr would have noticed.  I would suggest you see a gynecologist if he isn't already one.  It's also possible that you have developed a yeast infection now.....

Sometimes  it can be fibroid and a result of too much caffenine. Get a mamogram ASAP! That is the best assessment of breast nodules.  If it is truly a cyst-- they can use a long needle and local pain killer to aspirate the cyst and get the fluid out.\n\nPlease see the Susan G Komen website for breats health information.

You ovulate around Day 15 of your cycle. (The day you start your period is Day 1).\n\nYour pain is probably caused by the surge of estrogen that happens about Day 15. It causes the ovary to release the egg.\n\nOvarian cysts are driven by estrogen. You can tame them by using a natural progesterone cream, the body's "anti-estrogen". It will balance out the estrogen, and should stop the cysts from swelling.\n\nAs a bonus - natural progesterone is used to make women more fertile! :)

Talk about ick!\n\nYou are referring to a dermoid cyst of the ovary or a dermoid. That word sends shivers down my spine. They are pretty common and account for about a third of all ovarian cysts. My wife had an ovarian cyst that demonstrated some of the characteristics. She nearly fainted when the doctor told her and for about two weeks it was all I heard her talk about. Fortunately, the doctor figured out that it was just a plain ol' cyst. Maybe we should sue for the lack of sleep we endured?!\n\nHere's some more info:\n\nDermoid cyst of the ovary, or Dermoid...\n\nA bizarre tumor, usually benign, in the ovary that typically contains a diversity of tissues including hair, teeth, bone, thyroid, etc.\n\nA dermoid cyst develops from a totipotential germ cell (a primary oocyte) that is retained within the egg sac (ovary). Being totipotential, that cell can give rise to all orders of cells necessary to form mature tissues and often recognizable structures such as hair, bone and sebaceous (oily) material, neural tissue and teeth.\n\nDermoid cysts may occur at any age but the prime age of detection is in the childbearing years. The average age is 30. Up to 15% of women with ovarian teratomas have them in both ovaries. Dermoid cysts can range in size from a centimeter (less than a half inch) up to 45 cm (about 17 inches) in diameter.\n\nThese cysts can cause the ovary to twist (torsion) and imperil its blood supply. The larger the dermoid cyst, the greater the risk of rupture with spillage of the greasy contents which can create problems with adhesions, pain etc. Although the large majority (about 98%) of these tumors are benign, the remaining fraction (about 2%) becomes cancerous (malignant).\n\nIt turns out that dermoid cysts are a form of Teratoma.\n\n--\nsf

I've had many cysts and yes, I get them aspirated and yes, they can (and mine have) filled back up again.  Some cysts have come back numerous times.\n\nI've also had a lumpectomy for breast cancer....7 years ago.

I would say yes, even if it has not begun to bother you as yet. I am a nurse with over 14 years experience and I am certain you are aware of the dangers diabetics lend themselves to with infections and other "little" things left to fester. Just get an all clear from your physician. Or perhaps some intervention may be required. At the very least I say better safe versus allowing a cyst to possibly result in what could have been a preventable complication.

I am assuming you mean fibrocystic breast disease.  I have it too.  Just keep it checked so you do not get cancer.  So, far I am fine and I have had it for 30 years.\n\n\nhttp://www.womens-health-naturally.com/fibrocystic_breasts.htm

Have you been checked for ovarian cysts? The nausea could be caused by a cyst.  It might be worth talking to your doctor about getting a pelvic ultra sound done to be sure there are no masses or growths on your uterus or your ovaries causing all the problems.

At your age a cancerous cyst i.e. breast cancer is extremely rare. I had a lump at your age and it was a benign cyst which is hormonal. Go to your doctor and don't be scared. 99% lumps are just cysts. I get alot of them just like my mum does. I am so pleased I went to my doctor because I get alot of them, but get every one checked... just to be sure.

I've never heard of it being a problem as long as you aren't becoming anemic or bleeding too much. I would set up an appointment with your gyno just to be sure if you are worried.

i recently had this same problem on my left hand....it was not fun, i went to the doctor, and they removed it.  it was the worst thing ever!  they shot me up with so much morphine and painkillers it was ridiculous!  i was sick for a week and now i have about an inch scar on my hand and it doesnt look too good.  before i went to set up the surgery date the doc told me that back in the day preachers used to take Bibles and hit cyst's with it.  he didnt recommend it, but said that alot of people just burst them their selves....i believe it had a nickname for that reason....anyway it depends on how "tough" you are with pain:)\n\nps.. the worst part is...the cyst came back on the same hand, the doc warned me of this also, what a waste of a week!!!!  oh well thats life...
