Ovarian cyst (answers from only women with experience with ovarian cyst)?
In actuality, an ovarian cyst is considered a normal part of the menstural cycle; I didn't know this until I experienced my first one. I don't think your miscarriage created these - I am sorry for your loss.





Cysts are painful, but the pain usually catches you off guard, is sharp in nature, the quieten downs to a dull ache. If you are having severe pain, you need to go see your GYN. Sometimes cysts have to be removed when they do not dissolve on their own. I was shocked to learn when I had my hysterectomy back in April that there was a cyst the size of a golf ball on my right ovary; it was there and I never knew it.





Take some ibuprofen and place a towel-wrapped heating pad on your stomach for comfort.





Good luck and i hope you feel better soon.
Reply:I had a softball size cyst removed from my ovary a year ago, and I miscarried. When I miscarried that's when they seen it, but I was only pregnant barely 2 months. The cyst was already there. I know the pain your feeling, I couldn't imagine having 2 of those suckers! Are they inoperable? Cyst's are caused from a high level of hormones, generally there genetic. If they want to operate let them, and ask if you could have laparoscopic surgery. I had that done, and they made 3 small cuts, barely noticeable. I wish you luck, and ask your doctor if he can remove them if that's possible. Best wishes, and I'm sorry for your loss.
Reply:I have no idea whether it could be related to your miscarriage, I would think no - but I'm not a Dr.





I do feel for you - I had severe ovarian cysts for years. It was extremely painful. Mine hurt off and on all the time - no relation to my menstrual cycle. Somethimes the pain would last for days. My Dr. gave me Rx pain killers, which helped some. But I did eventually have to have surgery. The first two surgeries they made 3 one inch incisions and removed the cysts. The surgery was very easy and I went home the same day. I had some pain for a couple days, but nothing like the cysts. But unfortunately both times the cysts grew back. My third surgery my Gynocologist decided to just insert a large needle (I was out cold - didn't feel it) and drain the fluid out of the cysts. The membrane collapsed on itself and formed scar tissue, which prevented cysts from growing back. I never had pain after that. The only problem with the scar tissue now is that my right ovary gets a sharp pain when I ovulate - it only lasts about 10 seconds. And it ended up being a good thing - it helped me conceive both of my children on my first try.
