Cyst on ovaries?

O.k so I know this lady who ALWAYS has something wrong with her. She is off to the hospital every other month for some emergency or another. The latest is that she has a cyst on her ovaries. She claims it is the size of a soccer ball. Now I am no Dr but if it were that big wouldn't she look pregnant or something.





I want to be supportive of her but I just can't believe half the things she tells me anymore. Has anyone out there had a cyst on their ovaries. Could you please tell me a little bit about them and what the symptoms are and how they are dealt with.

Cyst on ovaries?
I had a cyst after the twins were born. It was just before I got my first period. I can tell you it hurt like crazy. It felt like I was in labour again. I actually said to Andrew one night I thought the boys may have been triplets.


Mine was only about 5cm wide and disappeared when I got my period. The doctor prescribed me a very strong painkiller.


Every time my stomach contracted I would be in pain, I couldn't lie down without crying in pain. And I have a high pain tolerance.


A woman gets a cyst on her ovaries every month (ask your doctor). It usually disappears when you have your period. Sometimes it can stay and become painful. Usually after you haven't had a period in ages (like when your pregnant).


If this is true she would look pregnant. Where else would you hid a soccer ball.


If it was true she would have been put in for immediate surgery, because they can turn cancerous.





Good Luck tomorrow @ the Doctors!!

Reply:I had no symptoms at all, the doctor told me I had 2 on each ovary, after surgery for endometriosis
Reply:I had one the size of a grapefruit on my right ovary. The Dr only felt it during a pap. I know some people are basically asymptomatic, but mine hurt like hell!! Very sudden sharp pains to the abdomen. Took my breath away. They put me on birth control pills to shrink it, and that took care of it. Of course everyones body works a little differently.
