GYN question ( maybe TMI)

Anyone ever have cysts on their ovaries? What happened with it? TIA.

Re: GYN question ( maybe TMI)

yes, I have an endometrioma which is a cyst that doesn't go away unless it bursts or is surgically removed. I have to follow up every 6 months with a transvaginal sonogram to make sure it doesn't get any bigger. Nothing really happens with it, I just get very bad cramps when I have my period.

Yes I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). Mostly the cysts are nothing. I did have two cysts burst which were painful. I also have pain sometimes during the month, but nothing that drastic. My pcos is insulin resistant which can be tested though a blood test.

Thanks Jess. I feel better that it isnt a huge deal. I have to go back for a follow up soon so they can see what type it is.

Thanks for sharing! I guess this isnt too uncommon.

Yep cysts are very common. A lot of women have them. There are all different types.

I have a cyst on my right ovary. I have to go bak after to menstural cycles to see if it went away or if it's gotten beiiger or stayed the same.

Cyst's are really common.
