Cysts question?!!?

I have a cyst on my left ovary.


If it doesn't burst then will surgery be necessary?


How does it feel if it bursts?


What is surgery like and is there any recovery time?





Thanks! =)

Cysts question?!!?
Every woman gets cysts occasionally called functional cysts. A functional cyst is just built-up fluid in the ovary. It is normal most of the time. It is caused by ovulation. The cyst should shrink but in 1-3 months if it is still the same or bigger a doctor may do surgery (if it is a serious matter) or give birth control pills (to hold off ovulation for awhile to see if it will shrink). In most cases nothing has to be done and the cysts will go away. There is also a disease called polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). 5-10% of all women in the US have this disease. If you have this disease you will have many cysts on your ovaries (only detectable by laparascopy or ultrasound). I have this disease. I had had cysts every year at my pap smear so finally when we were trying to conceive my doctor diagnosed me with PCOS. Other symptoms of PCOS are excessive growth of hair, acne, diabetes, obesity, and

Reply:When a cyst ruptures, it hurts like crazy, you just want to stay in the fetal position and not move. Standing and walking are painful and well so is basically anything you do for a couple days. It happened to me when I was off at college and about to start summer school. I didn't have to have any surgery, but that's because there wasn't anything in the cyst that they felt needed to be removed and it wasn't causing any infections.





If your cyst doesn't rupture or go away on its own and it is causing problems, then surgery might end up being an option, but for now, I'd wait it out and monitor it to make sure that it isn't growing or anything.





I hope that you're feeling better soon.
Reply:I am not a doctor, but I have had those...if they don't go away they can cause permanent damage..my female gyno showed me how to burst them on my own..it doesn't hurt when they burst...aggressive sex on that side is another way( and alot more fun)
