What usually happens when you have a cyst on ovary?

I recently went to the doctor for annual gyno exam. They did a sonogram since I was having reoccuring pain and found a cyst on my right ovary. I have to wait a month to go back for another sonogram! What I want to know is if anyone has had cysts, what happened with them, etc. I've already had a blood test done that ruled out cancer, so I'm not worried about that. The doctor didn't make any assumptions or tell me a lot about it, since it may go away by itself. I just want to be prepared for IF it doesn't go away. Whats more, he told me I shouldn't try to get pregnant til we figure out whats going on with this...I was trying.

What usually happens when you have a cyst on ovary?
The short of it is they may just shrink and pretty much dissapear but i wasnt that lucky i didnt know that i actually had them but i awoke one moring with what felt like contractions i was quite scared and made a call for help saying that i was having contraction pains my dad freaked out but i wasnt even pregnant it just felt like that. I ended up in hospital on two occasions with the same thing the pain was the cyst bursting it was horrible i was on morphine for days some women may not experience that much pain but i sure did all up last year i was in hospital for over two weeks, and they say that im pone to getting them again. During both hospital stays i has a operation called a laproscopic surgery (key hole) that is horrible they fill you stomach with gas so they can fiddle around in there with plenty of room when i came to i felt so sore and bloated and quiet embarrassed as the next few days in hospital i had to relase that gas you know what i mean. I hope i have helped you with you concern but i hope ur not scared as they will more that likely dissapear. Also on the pregnancy thing i would get a second opinion as my cousin had two large cysts on her ovary during her pregnancy.if you have anymore questions plz email me.
Reply:I just went through this. This is a fairly common occurance in women. Since I wasn't yet on birth control when I was diagnosed my gyno told me that If I go on it, it would help me regulate my testosterone because higher testosterone is one of the factors. If anything, you might to have surgery, but is not invasive, and is very minor, and you would still be able to concieve. For more information go here:

Reply:I had the SAME thing. What eventually happened was the fibroid cysts became so large on both ovaries that they ended up doing a Radical Hysterectomy. If your young or haven't had children yet you won't want them doing that!!! However that was about 13 years ago and what I have learned is that they can now take the cysts off without removing the ovary....If they say you'll NEED a Hysterectomy please be prepared. They never told me until after wards that they made not one BUT Two very large incisions, one vertical and the other a bikini line...Since then I have little to no feeling in my stomach. I have trouble passing any bowels mainly because they cut through the main muscle and the nerves that makes the stomach contract...In a nutshell I wish someone had been HONEST with me. Then I would have known what I was in for. Now at 44 years of age, I have brittle bones...I couldn't take any estrogen replacements....Please get as MANY opinions from as many doctors as possible..and I will be thinking of you. Best of luck.....
Reply:You really need to get your answers from your dr. But, I'll tell you what happened with me. I had multiple cysts, she said the size of silver dollars and bigger, to many to count. They scheduled me for outpatient surgery, and froze them off. The first time did it. And I've just finished my 10th year check up! Everything has been fine since. Dont let people scare you. There are many different outcomes. Talk to you dr. and if your not satisfied with the treatment, get another dr. Dont let a dr treat you like your beneath them, make them talk to you, ask questions. about treatment, meds. make a list if you need to , I did! Good luck! And try not to worry, everything will work out!
Reply:its not really a problem, i had an ultrasound a few years back indicating that i had a cyst on the right ovary. my doctor said not to worry about it. on my latest check up 2 months ago, it seems that those cysts were no longer found on the ultrasound.


my doctor did not warn me about not getting pregnant, actually i am already pregnant right now.
Reply:my ob/gyn said they come and go every month and that they burst right before you start...which causes the pain ( in my case, it puts me completly down)...you may ask about birth control where you do not have a period except for a couple times a year...this helps me alot....and during my first pregnancy I had the massive pain at least one to two weeks a month til I had my little one...I would try to find out first
Reply:I actually dont quite know why he told you to quit trying because I am pregnant an dwhen i got my first ultrasound they found a cyst in my ovary and said it was normal....they said it would come out when i had the baby it would just make me feel a little more unconfortable
Reply:I actually had a cyst burst on my ovary, but after the initial pain of it bursting, was the sigh of relief of the pain and pressure I was feeling. The doctor should be giving you medication to help with the cyst..is he not? I wouldn't think it wise to try and get pregnant while having these issues, but you should be just fine with no ill effects.
