Can you die from a brain cyst, what are some of the symptoms of a brain cyst?
Brain Cyst?
I just had an operation on October 17/2005.I had a cyst(tumor) in my ear canal millimetres from my brain. I did not know that i had it there, had alot of earaches all the time in there.My family doc just gave me drops all the time, and than he finally sent me to a surgeon and he had me go to do a CAT scan.There it was.If you are dizzy, it felt like i was having trails when i looked too fast,can't keep balance, i did get sick sometimes at nite, hard to concentrate. My surgeion told me about this guy who came in the hospital and died 36 hours after that cause it burst and that causes meningitis. He didn't know that he had it. I would advise to get it out.There was alot of risks, but i would deal with that instead of dying like that and i am fine the surgery was a success.Do not wait. Mine wasn't cancerous at all. I did lose 2/3 bones in my ear so i can't hear well out of the one, as the cyst broke them unrepairable. But i am alive and well so far.Just do it and get it looked at.

Vaginal Cyst?
I have a quarter sized vaginal cyst on my inner labia. I have tried warm compresses, soaking in a tub and nothing has changed. I can feel it while I am having inter cuorse and have noticed since it has been there the past 2 years, I have been experiencing vaginal dryness during inter course. Could the cyst be why? I have talked to my OB about it and she says that unless I am having pain then she can not do anything for it. Please help.

You need to talk to her again.

Bakers Cyst?
I have a Bakers Cyst. I have had it for five years. I have recently had surgery to repair a torn minuscus. My Doc says that the cyst will go away. But it seems to be growing. What should I do?
Bakers Cyst?
Bakers Cyst (Popliteal Cyst)
--------------------------------------...
Definition
Baker's cyst, a collection of synovial fluid which has escaped from the knee joint or a bursa and formed a new synovial-lined sac in the popliteal space; seen in degenerative or other joint diseases.
Radiographic Appearance
Not generaly seen on a plain radiograph unless extensive, demonstrated on, a modified arthrogram, ultrasound, ct and MRI imaging.
Pathology
A baker’s cyst is a small (sometimes large) sack of fluid behind the knee. The sack itself is quite normal. Most people have one but it usually does not have enough fluid in it to be noticeable. It will cause problems only when it becomes swollen with fluid, especially if the comminication with the knee joint is via a one-way valve which lets fluid out into the cyst but prevents fluid from flowing back into the knee.
The fluid is almost always due to some problem within the joint itself such as arthritis or a torn cartilage. Occasionally the cyst fills up with fluid for other reasons.
Occasionally the cyst can leak fluid into the calf and cause calf sweeling, tightness %26amp; pain. This may even simulate a calf DVT (deep vein thrombosis)
It is easily diagnosed by a careful examination and an ultrasound scan.
Sometimes the cyst communication can be seen arthroscopically and the one-way flap valve excised.
Treatment:
It is best treated by treating the cause of the excess fluid (fixing the cartilage tear or arthritis) and then the Bakers cyst usually fades away. A large and persistent Bakers cyst may require surgical removal which is done through an incision across the back of the knee, although it can sometimes be removed by arthroscopic surgery direct to the cyst.

I have a cyst.?
i had gotten an ultrasound done and it came back that i have a 5cm cyst on my ovary and it has solid and fluid in it. i have to go for a MRI to make sure its not cancerous. i did some research they arent cancerous right lik there is a basically very very slight chance that it could be? idk about cysts at all infact the research i did makes no sense either, i shouldnt worry bout it though right?its jus a cyst?
I have a cyst.?
More than likely it's nothing. I had a 3 cm one on my ovary, the doc just put me on birth control pills. Don't worry until you have something to worry about.
Reply:dont worry! your doctor has take all precautions to make sure everything is ok. i have a cyst on my right ovary, and it freaked me out sooo bad too. usually they go away on their own, or i heard of some kind of pill that helps dissolve them. ive had mine for about 3 months and its actually painful. my best has tons of small ones on both ovaries that come and go, and her doctor also said its nothing to worry about. you are doing everything right by getting the MRI , so dont worry! :) i hope everything works out ok!!! good luck!
Reply:I had a cyst on one of my ovarys as well. Mine came back none cancerous. It went away on it's own and the doctor told me to stay on birth control pills to prevent them from forming. They are pretty common, and usually nothing to worry about.
Reply:don't worry about it at all. it's highly unlikely it will be cancerous. i had a cyst on my ovary as well about 3 years ago. honestly, there's nothing to worry about.

OVARIAN CYST, CAN IT MIMIC PREGNANCY? help me?
what would be the symptoms of ovarian cyst, if large would it cause pressure on your back? i've been having these weird pains on my left side from my mid to lower abdomen , also a lot of lower back pain that sometimes runs down my leg, when i lay down i feel a heavy pressure on my left side like if it where being pushed down ive been urinating alot and constipated ( when i have a small bowel movement my stool is very very dark), i am so worried, i've only had sex once, we used a condom and it was 2 days before my period ended, im scared to go to the hospital because i;ve been thinking im pregnant since the day after sex, i dont know i think it would be too much coincidence that i start having these symptoms 7 weeks after my first sex encounter, although cyst run in my family most women in my mothers side have gotten them when they were around my age, my mother also had one, but can it be too much coincidence or is it possible?
OVARIAN CYST, CAN IT MIMIC PREGNANCY? help me?
Well I had two rather large ovarian cyst about 14 months ago..they almost te size of footballs..anyway I never knew they were there for about 10 yrs they hid away on me..the only sign that I had them was that i would have extremely painful periods. Well last year I went to bed christmas night and on christmas morning I woke up in agonizing pain in my lower right back and it was reaching around to my lower right adomen..i went to work thinking ohh this should go away, but it didnt. They ended up calling a family member and rushing me to the er where I spent a better portion of the day. They did blood work and x-rays and nothing showed up in them but when the docter did a Cat Scan and Ultrasound they found the cyst...I would say it is possible or you to have cyst..
Ovarian cysts are very common. Most are related to ovulation and will disappear spontaneously. Cysts are usually diagnosed by vaginal examination or ultrasound. If the cyst persists it should be removed since it can rupture, undergo torsion or may be malignant. Benign cysts can be managed with the laparoscope, although if the cyst turns out to be a cancer it should be removed via a formal laparotomy. Depending on the situation and the age of the woman, the cyst may be removed on its own or the whole ovary may be removed.

Ovarian cyst?
I have been having pain in the left side where my ovary is, and it hurts into my left hip and the lower left side of my back hurts, but the right side where my ovary is swelled up. It also make my left leg hurt, and it hurts to sit, stand , or walk. It also feels full only on my left side...I have had an ovarian cyst before, but the only thing I had with it was alot of pain, and that was it.. I have an appt with my OBGYN march 5th, but I dont think I can wait that long. Could it be an ovarian cyst agian, or something else. I know noone knows for sure and this isn't a doctors office, but I need some advice.
Ovarian cyst?
I had a couple of Ovarian Cysts that resulted in Emergency surgery. I was informed that had the biggest one burst, I would have bled to death. It's nothing to mess around with. Get in and find out what's going on for sure, it might save your life.
Reply:I think you should get in ASAP. You dont want to fool around with pain like that. It almost sounds like you may have an ectopic pregnancy which is common if you have ovarian cysts. The lastthing you want is one of the fallopian tubes to burst. Get it checked out as soon as you can
Reply:Try a hot pad or hot bath. Zuke is right it could be an ectopic pregnancy or a twisted tube, etc. Better go to the ER.
Reply:If you are in alot of pain you should not wait.I use to get them alot when I was younger.It helps to use a heating pad to releave some of the discomfort.You also could have a kidney infection too.Also hot baths can help too.
Reply:Call your OB/GYN and tell them you're experiencing this pain...see if they can get you an earlier appt. If the pain gets worse, go to the ER...A cyst can ruture and cause you even more problems
Reply:Pls get in touch with the OB/GYN's office on Tues to see about getting in sooner than the 5th.
In the mean time because you are having a lot of pain either try a walk-in urgent care clinic or the ER.
Reply:sounds like same pain i had with my cyst. but that was only after mine burst. but i still have a couple on my right side and i feel some pain with them still, but nothing sever, just a little achy from time to time. but yes, what u said sounds like a cyst again. if the pain is unbearable try to go in to the doc sooner. if no appts available try another doc or the er. someone else mentioned the possibility of ectopic pregnancy, which is certainly possible, and urgent. but again, we cant know for sure. (i think u would feel a lot sicker if it were that though)

Ovary/cyst removal while 3 months pregnant??
I'm 3 months pregnant. I've had an 8cm cyst on my left ovary that my doctor's have been monitoring. I went to a specialist yesterday, and it's now 10cm. They are wanting to remove the cyst and the ovary within the next week and a half. They said they will have to cut from belly button down which is right where the baby is at. I'm a NERVOUS WRECK! I am going to have a specialist do it, but was curious has anyone had this happen or know anything about this?? Will the baby be ok? Especially with them opening my stomach completely up and being put under anesthesia? And removing my ovary...is this a major surgery-I'm literally scared to death and would like any advice anyone can give from experiences or knowledge. Thank you soo much!
Ovary/cyst removal while 3 months pregnant??
Calm down, they are not going to cut into your uterus where the baby is, remember they are going to cut from belly button down into your skin and go to the ovaries, not the uterus, about the anesthesia, it sounds like they want to take care of this cyst before it causes you and or the baby more harm, meaning it could grow and turn into cancer or something like that, and infect you and the baby. Dont worry, I know it is hard not to, but ask your doctor how this will effect the baby, and what are the risks if you do not have it done.
Reply:I pray that it will go well. Ive never experienced this situation.
Reply:don't worry everything is going to be ok!! my sister had a tumor in a ovary and she was 8 months pregnant.. they cut her from the belly button to remove it.. don't stress it your going to be ok good luck!!

Ovary/cyst removal while 3 months pregnant??
This is not as rare as you might think. The reason for removal is because if it continues to grow, is hemorrhagic or ruptures, it will definitely put your pregnancy and you in grave risk.
Now being honest, surgery always carries risks. After all, it is an invasive procedure but your chance of harm to the pregnancy is far greater from the cyst itself if it is growing.
Of course you are nervous! This is surgery! You are pregnant and worried for your baby! You wouldn't be normal if you weren't worried. It is major surgery due to the opening of the abdomen and the pregnancy but the surgeon and anesthesiologist will do everything to preserve your pregnancy.
Also, is the doctor planning another ultrasound before the surgery? Sometimes, the cyst will resolve before surgery can be done so you might get a pleasant surprise. It is the hormones of pregnancy during the first three months than can cause these cysts to grow. Don't count on the cyst resolving, I am just letting you know that it can and does happen.
BTW, I have seen quite a few of these and not one single mother lost her baby! Good luck, sweetie and try not to worry too much.

Ovarian cyst?
My wife was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst as a teenager. She never did anything about it because it only causes her slight discomfort while she is in ovulation. We asked the obgyn about it and I wasn’t satisfied with her answer. Will this cyst make it harder for to conceive?
Ovarian cyst?
It depends on how advance the cyst really is. A woman usually developes cysts around the time of her monthly... most of the time they go away. My friend is pregnant... about ready to pop... and her cysts are so bad that they will have to remove both ovaries completely if she ever wanted to get rid of them. I would get a second opinion. If it's a dermoid... then they would have to surgically remove them. I myself used to have ovarian cysts... but mine were dermoids... I just recently got them removed back in Feb. I don't know what else to tell you. But with the cysts... conception is going to be a little more difficult. Good luck!!
Reply:i dont know, but you should get a second or third ob/g opinion and dont go based on any anecdotal or "guess" answers that you might get on here..
Reply:Yes it can make it harder and sometimes impossible. It depends on the severity of the cyst. I would request a more detailed answer from the doc.
Reply:It depends on her diagnosis - without knowing all the information, the information you get here will be suggestions at best.
I would suggest going to a oby/gyn for further evaluation. It sounds as if she may have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) - if this is the case, then yes, this condition does make it difficult to conceive.

Can an ovarian cyst become painful?
I was at my GYN's office this morning for a routine yearly exam. She felt what she thought was a cyst on my right ovary and I am scheduled for an ultrasound in ten days. At the time of the exam she asked if it was painful and it really wasn't really at all. I had no pain whatsoever prior to my appointment.
Now several hours later it is VERY painful - the pain came on rather quickly. It sort of ebbs and flows, but sometimes it is a "shooting" type pain. I was wondering if cysts can become painful "suddenly".
I am 40 years of age with no history of ovarian cysts and in good health.
Thank you so much!
Can an ovarian cyst become painful?
My sister is only 23 and she has cysts. Yes cysts can become very painful very quickly. Just take some ibuprophen or something for the pain.
Reply:Yes they can become painful quickly. They are often misdiagnosed as appendicitis. They often react differently depending on your cycle. I always noticed more pain just prior to my period.
Reply:If the cyst bursts it can become quite painful. I have not experienced it myself but a friend of mine didn't even know she had them until one burst and she couldn't get up off the floor. I would contact your OBGYN and let them know whats going on. Good luck!
Reply:Yes they can. Especially if they begin to turn, twist and eventually rupture.
Reply:Yes if Torsion ( twisting ) of the cyst occurs then there will be sudden pain......... probably ur cyst was not malignant so u were not rushed to diagnosis....... now go back and tell ur gynaecologist u have severe pain.......
Advice.. Just go back to hospital...wait and see or just simple pain killer medicines are not recommended in ur case
Reply:Eeeks! Yes they can your doctor probaly didn't help when she was pokin around either. Its a good thing she made an ultrasound appt, but if it gets worse please go to ER because ovarian cysts can burst and it is verryyyy painful, almost like labor pain. This happened to me a couple years ago. They'll most likely just do an ultrasound right there in the ER and then your Dr. would get the results anyhow, and she might want to follow up on it still with the ultrasound you have scheduled already.

Cyst on left ovary?
I have a 7cm cyst on left ovary,it was found 1 month ago when i could feel a lump, at ovulation time i was in that much pain i ended up going to the hospital. the doc said its just a functional cyst and should go down, i dont think it has, doc also said to have another ultrasound on 30/4, if its still there will i need to have it removed?
Additional Details
edited to add - i should also say that my period came 2 weeks early lasted about 5 days and was quite heavy, would they be linked?
Added more to cyst on left ovary?
if the cyst does not go down and the pain is intolerable they may take it out. Do not panic, it is not a terrible surgery. My sisters and I have all had them removed. The recovery time is not bad and the scaring is small. good luck hope you feel better.
Reply:i dnt think you will have to have it removed prob surgry to help or just meds i guess it depends

Ovarian Cyst while pregnant?
I was told that I have a cyst on my left side of my ovary ; ( My GYN doc. told me that the cyst is very small, but I dont understand why do I still feel pain??????????
I been feeling butterflys in my stomach (24/07) %26amp; sometimes I get sharp pains in my stomach.
I am 8 wks pregnant now... ever since I found out I just havent been able to sleep... if you have any type of information for me please tell me something!!
I know this not normal to feel anything this early @ 8 wks pregnant...
I just been really worried about my baby's health, I keep thinking that I'm going to have an unnormal baby ; (
I just pray that my baby will be as healthy as my 1st child ;(
Please somebody out there HELPPPPP ME!!
Ovarian Cyst while pregnant?
The butterfly feeling could be a mild case of morning sickness. It is possible to get morning sickness as early as the first month. It could also just be that you are stressing about this and upsetting yourself.
You need to talk to your gyno and discuss with them the effects this could have in your personal case, but most of the time, it is usually not any harm to your baby. You also need to discuss with them the sharp pains if you haven't already. It may be related to the cyst and even though it is small, it could still be causing pain, especially since you do have a growing baby taking up more room and pressing on things surrounding it-including the ovaries. The best thing you can do right now is to settle down and try not to stress too much about it. Stress is not good for your baby or you. Talk with your doctor to relieve some of your worries.
Good luck and congrats on the pregnancy!
Reply:Please stop panicking I'm sure your baby will be fine I had a very large ovarian cyst removed and one of my ovaries it was 26cm big and 10pints of fluid was drianed out of it but that was just unlucky for me when you are pregnant because of the vast amount of hormones your body is producing it's highly likely that it will dissapear on its own in what would normally be your next couple of cycles the amount time between your usual periods but like I said I have only one ovary with an egg size cyst on it at the moment and I'm trying to concieve I have seen a specialist gynacologist who assures me even if I concieve now it will not harm my baby whatsoever and he told me it's very likely my cyst will dissapear if I am to get pregnant if your doctor or gyne were concerned in any way they would have run further tests on you what I had was very rare and was left undiagnosed for a long time they no its there now so then can check for any changes and keep an eye on it but it probably will dissapear however you shouldnt feel pain from it thats worth telling your doctor about I only experienced pain with mine before I was operated on but only because my cyst was so large and pushing on my kidneys and bladder it may be just down to the fact you are pregnant please try not to worry to much I no thats easy for me to say but I do understand your concerns because I wanted all my questions answering to do with my cyst before trying to concieve I hope you have a healthy happy pregnancy and I'm sure you will both be ok if you'r still worried speak more to your doctor or gyne they are there to answer your questions I think you may be thinking about it a little to much and are worried with every little pinch pull or movement in your stomach.Any way Congratulations on your pregnancy Hope this helped a bit Take care and good luck with everything Kay :0) x

I been feeling butterflys in my stomach (24/07) %26amp; sometimes I get sharp pains in my stomach.
I am 8 wks pregnant now... ever since I found out I just havent been able to sleep... if you have any type of information for me please tell me something!!
I know this not normal to feel anything this early @ 8 wks pregnant...
I just been really worried about my baby's health, I keep thinking that I'm going to have an unnormal baby ; (
I just pray that my baby will be as healthy as my 1st child ;(
Please somebody out there HELPPPPP ME!!
Ovarian Cyst while pregnant?
The butterfly feeling could be a mild case of morning sickness. It is possible to get morning sickness as early as the first month. It could also just be that you are stressing about this and upsetting yourself.
You need to talk to your gyno and discuss with them the effects this could have in your personal case, but most of the time, it is usually not any harm to your baby. You also need to discuss with them the sharp pains if you haven't already. It may be related to the cyst and even though it is small, it could still be causing pain, especially since you do have a growing baby taking up more room and pressing on things surrounding it-including the ovaries. The best thing you can do right now is to settle down and try not to stress too much about it. Stress is not good for your baby or you. Talk with your doctor to relieve some of your worries.
Good luck and congrats on the pregnancy!

Ovarian cyst ruptured - shoulder pain?
I had an ovarian cyst burst approx one week ago, I am feeling better, however I am still have body aches. The day it happened, I was having a sharp shooting (on and off again) pain in my right shoulder, the doctor said it was just the blood from the cyst trying to reabsorb back into my body. Today the rest of my body feels fine, but I still have that sharp pain in my shoulder. Is this normal?
Ovarian cyst ruptured - shoulder pain?
The ovaries aren't supplied with nerves as specific as those in your fingers, tongue, skin, etc. What you have when you have pain in the ovaries is "referred" pain, where it touches off a nerve somewhere along the line.
I'm not sure of referred ovarian pain, but sometimes when women are pregnant and the baby is outside the uterus and in the fallopian tube (ectopic pregnancy), the referred pain is between the shoulder blades. I *assume* that this is kind of what's happening to you because of the general area being so similar.
EDIT: If the pain is bad, though, let your doctor know.
Reply:i'm not sure if it is normal.
try contacting your doctor and telling him about this shooting pain.
i doubt its related to the cyst, but it could be
Reply:try to rupture the cyst again
Reply:you're probably fine. but if it continues, i would go back to your doctor. i had an ovarian cyst last year - no fun. :] good luck!

Pain with Pilonidal cyst???!!???
What type of pain is associated with the Pilonidal cyst? I have one and am seeing a surgeon tomorrow however I was just curious about what others pain was like....mine is not excrutiating at all. In fact it is failry manageable. The most pain is a discomfort inside. It's more my lower back that is sore and uncomfortable. Is that what anyone else has experienced?
They said I also have Staph and Strep in the cyst, which I am on antibiodics for, but I was just curious about the pain.
How bad does it hurt others and what is the pain like???
Pain from the cyst...not the surgery
some history.....I have had it for 4 years+ but never really bothered me until about two months ago. Now it constantly drains and bleeds, which is why I went to the DR....I was just curious about the pain because I read horror stories, but mine isnt so bad...just makes my lower back hurt...unless its something else.
Pain with Pilonidal cyst???!!???
pilonidal cyst is no entity but is called pilonidal sinus.it is a chronic condition and can only be cured by surgery and is notoriously recurring unless the surgery has been perfect.

Thyroglossal duct cyst?
ok, I am a 22 y/o female. I just found out that I will need surgery for a thyroglossal duct cyst. I am interested in any information about recovery from the preocedure. If anyone has has the sistrunk preocedure done, please let me know how it was for you. I am anxious to find out. Thanks in advance.
Thyroglossal duct cyst?
depending on the site and size of the cyst , the operation as well as post-operative recovry is usually uneventful. so there is no need to worry.

What is a pericardial cyst and how is it treated?
Recently the Dr. discovered a mass in my 25 year old husband's chest. It was found by accident during a pre-op work up for minor sinus surgery. A cat scan revealed that is is a cystic (fluid filled) mass near the middle of his chest. They do not believe it's cancer at this time, but cannot rule it out either and have mentioned a possible pericardial cyst. I know that it means a cyst in the sac around the heart, but not much else. Also, they said that pericardial cyst that are congenital are often harmless, however my husband had a chest xray last year and it was clear, so they believe the cyst might be 'acquired' and that this means a highler likely hood of something serious. Any information would be great!
What is a pericardial cyst and how is it treated?
The heart is surrounded by two continuous layers of fibrous tissue called the pericardium. A pericardial cyst is a fluid-filled mass within the outer layer of the pericardium.
Pericardial cysts are benign (non-malignant). As in your husband's case, most of them are discovered incidentally (while looking for something else) on chest X-ray or other imaging of the chest area. Most are entirely symptomless, but in around a third of cases, the patient can develop symptoms - typically, chest pain, shortness of breath or coughing.
The diagnosis is usually confirmed with a CT scan (with contrast) of the region. Treatment options include observation (with serial followups), drainage via the skin, or surgical excision. Which route is followed will depend on the cyst itself and on the patient's general state of health.
There are obviously other options for a fluid-filled collection in this region, but most of the confusion can be cleared up with good imaging (e.g. the CT scan above). If I were you, I'd try to wait for further imaging results to come back, and not worry too much (much easier said than done, I know!).
Hope this helps. If you want a more detailed version, I've found this case study on the net: http://www.ctsnet.org/sections/clinicalr...

Cyst on left ovary?
been to my doctor have had an internal examination and have a cyst on my left ovary they think my concern is i look seven months pregnant but have to wait another month for scan also have a dragging feeling down below has anyone else had this can the cyst go on its own in the meantime
Cyst on left ovary?
No sweetheart, cysts cannot disapper or just go on their own. Actually they usually grow bigger, and thats exactly why your doctor is waiting a month for your next ultrasound scan. I also had a cyst on my left ovary for almost 6 months (I had 3 ultrasounds done in that time); the doctor saw it was growing more each time and decided to operate it by laparaotomy (a C-section) a month ago. He had to remove not only the cyst but also the complete ovary because it was black and unfunctional; I will get the pathology results next week. Im still recovering from the surgery right now. I actually was a lot more swollen the 3 weeks following th surgery than what I was before it. If you would like to talk more with me you can contact me by clicking on my avatar. I hope everything goes well with you.
Reply:when i was pregnant i got the regular ultrasound down to make sure everything was okay. when the technician handed me the paper work i read it over and saw that it said i had a cyst on my left ovary. i started to freak out, but managed to keep calm until i saw my doctor again. i asked her about it, and she said it was common among pregnant women. that's all she said and that was the end. nothing more ever happened, so i assumed it went away on its own. and i havent had any problems since.

Cyst on ovary?
I had a miscarriage on Thanksgiving....I was 7wks. I had an ultrasound at the ER on Sunday and they said that everything seemed to be fine and cleared out, but they did find a cyst on my right ovary. Could this have caused the miscarriage? I was just thinking about it, I have had ovarian cysts and endometriosis since I was about 15, Im 25 now. We want to try again when my body is ready in about 3 months, but I want to know if this is just going to happen again. Im so upset and want to know what I am up against...Thanks..Good luck to all you preggers out there. Wishing you happy healthy babies!
Cyst on ovary?
I had what they call a Corpus Luteum Cyst. It's caused when the egg is released but the cyst goes away into your second trimester. That how my doctor determined I got pregnant from my right ovary since that's where the cyst was located. I don't think it caused your miscarriage at all. Keep your spirits high and try not to stress. Easier said than done, but at least try. Next time will be different! Good luck!
Reply:yes it could have caused it, my friend had on because of a cyst. you have a chance of having it again but you have to be careful when you do get pregnant again, you will be at a high risk
Reply:I had a cyst grow on my ovary only when I was pregnant. I seriously son't believe that a cyst on your ovary would cause your miscarriage. the egg has already been released, and you are pregnant...your ovary has nothing to do with your uterus after it has released the egg. You may want to confirm that with your DR. Most miscarriages are just nature's way of telling youthat there was something wrong with the baby.
Reply:The cyst could have caused the miscarriage, but its really not likely because
my OBGYN told me that the only cure for cysts is pregnancy. Your cyst won't bother you because your body is not producing or discarding eggs,but it also depends on what kind of cyst you have as well.

Cyst on my sons Penis?
My son who is 5 has either a pimple or a cyst on the side of his penis (on the shaft below the head) is this of concern. Having a hard time letting me or his Mom look at it but i got a look when he was sleeping and looks like it is a little bigger then a pea in size bigger than i expected . cant tell if it is a pimple or cyst. Probally call the doctor if in a few days it is still there. Is this a common issue ??? is there something else it can be that i am orverlooking???
Thank you in advance, a concerend Dad.
Cyst on my sons Penis?
If there is any doubt, you should take him to the doctor, especially if the cyst changes shape or gets larger. If it's just a pimple it will go away on its own.
Reply:well I am glad u are concerned I have a free nurses line you can call if you want it email me.
Reply:OK I had a white head on my Penis when I was a teenager. It's no biggie. It popped when I got wood. Double squirt.
I'd do the doctor thing anyway just to make sure.
Oh and to screw with his mind, tell him it's from playing with it.
Reply:You looked while he was sleeping? Geesh. I guess you can do that at age 5, but what if he woke up? Anyway my son complained about something like a pimple but then wouldn't let us look. I was concerned but I told him I can't help him unless he shows us. he fell down in a sport earlier that day so his Dad just brushed it off and told him it was from that. We never heard anything about it again. I never did know what it was but it scared the heck out of me.
Reply:It could be, and probably is, just a pimple. I had one on my penis once...in the same area you describe. It got rather large before I popped it. It was gross but it felt much better. Try a long warm bath and see if that helps.
Reply:My friend, it looks like a cyst and white below the gland (skin that covers the head) do not worry, that happened to my son. Create the habit that every time your son goes to the bathroom pull with care the skin and in few days the "cyst" will disappear. But if the color is yellow it is because there is an inflamation. I think it is a little big and you should consult a doctor.

Cyst on my ovary's???
okay i went to the doctor and had a vaginal ultrasound done on my ovarys and the doc found 3 golf ball size cyst on the right one. he said that i need to come back next month to have another one done(vaginal ultrasound) to see if they have shrank any. i asked him if i need to have a surgery to remove them and he said no that they would go away by themselves....so my question is DO CYST GO AWAY BY THEMSELVES?
Cyst on my ovary's???
Usually yes they do. I have had tons of cysts (I can thank PCOS for that), and haven't had any major problems. I sometimes feel pain from them, but usually I don't notice them. At my last check up I had cysts on both side. If you do start to experience heavy bleeding or severe pain, I would go to the ER or call your dr., but for the most part I think just monitoring them is enough.
Reply:Usually they will shrink or burst on their own, but can be very painful in the meantime. Unfortunately unless you want a hysterectomy you have to learn to manage with them.
Reply:I have dealt with cyst's all my life and they never go away! they burst and cause more cyst's and can make you sterile if left there. they need to be remove'd i actually had 1 weighing 9lbs.! the size of a grapefruit. you need to have them taken care of.
Reply:sometimes they do, but the pain can be VERY great. I had surgery to drain mine, they'd gotten to be nearly an inch in size. I should tell you that I had surgery for my endometriosis, the doctor just took care of this while he was there. I've had no ovarian pain since.
