Women with ovarian cysts?

Went to hospital w/ these symptoms. I was told i had a uti and a 2cm ovarian cyst on my right ovary. Also multiple small cysts. They said theres really nothing they can do for this but give you anti-inflamatory pills. Have to have a check up for possible polycystic ovarian disease. Also wrote down endometrial cyst.





-lower right stomach above hip bone, if i push my stomach out sometimes i can feel the pain, or suck my stomach in. The worst is laying on your stomach flat and how it sucks in some it pulls on my stomach and hurts.





-this started when i was about 13 years old, i went in for a school phsycial and the doctor had me lay down, and push all over my lower stomach and on my sides and thats when i noticed it wasn't right. Well i was too afraid to say something and im not 20 years old w/ no health insurance.





I had a ultra sound done and a vaginal interal exam, and then a regluar exam/pap smear. Are these normal conditions for a ovarian cyst?cramps alot like its stuck 4 min

Don't be scared,be brave! Get a complete check-up. Ask your doc for a 'CA125' blood test,and an ultra sound exam. That'll rule out ovarian cancer. You'll be fine! You're young and healthy. Lets hope that Obama gets elected,so we all will have health care.
Reply:Ovarian cysts can sometimes go away on their own. The only things that prevents them for me if a birth control pill that gives you the same amount of hormone every day (not diffrent amounts throughout the month) this keeps them under control. If you don't have insurance planned parenthood is really affordable and they can treat you there.





Unfortunatly other then that there is not too much you can do to treat them unless they become huge- that requires surgery. The cramping can be very painful and sometimes it is hard to find a comfortable way to lay down.





I will occasionally get small ones now and they always go away on their own after one cycle.
