    2 years ago I went in for a pam smear, told my obgyn that i was having consistent back pain, so we did an ultrasound. I had 2 dermoid cysts, 1 on each ovary, 4cm big. She told me there was nothing she can do, take some pain meds, and that was it. Last year I found a new obgyn, since I was still having back pains, but they were now worst and sometimes I couldnt even walk or get out of bed, or even do my job. New obgyn did ultrasound, my cysts were now 5 cm big each and she told me, "these are pretty big, and I would highly recommend surgery to remove it, especially since you are having so much pain as well." Had my surgery this year in Feb 2022. Turns out I didnt have 2 cysts. I actually had 5!! The two 5cms cysts were so big they were hiding the smaller cysts!!! (two 5cms, two 2cm, and one 3cm cysts) After the surgery, I got another ultrasound just so we could get a baseline of what ovaries look like, and the ultrasonographer told me, "Oh! We can actually see your ovaries now! Your cysts were so big I couldnt see them last time. Do you want to take a look?" I am in no more pain!!!! And I love my new obgyn and her staff! So resourceful and they actually listen to my concerns and help me understand things about my body! Im 12 weeks post-op and Im doing great, feel amazing, and will be trying for a baby later this year!

    I've had endometriosis and ovarian cysts since 14. I'm 40 now, and as of last year, have had more surgeries than years I've been alive. My right ovary was blown apart causing massive internal bleeding causing appendicitis at 16 and my first surgery. I've now lost my right ovary and part of my right fallopian tube. The cysts I make grow so fast and are almost always 6 cm or larger. The last being 8 cm. I've had torsion happen and have lost 4 pregnancies. The last, I thought I was gonna make it, because it was the only time I made it to 5 months. Sadly, I was wrong. I have endometriosis inside my ovary, and adhesions that rip all the time. My internal organs are often attached to my abdominal wall. The physical pain I am in on a daily basis is extreme and exhausting. I am so glad that in these last years, the attitude towards women with these conditions has changed. I was told when I was 18 by one Dr in the ER that I was faking the pain, and that endometriosis is 100% cyclic and the pain psychological. 4 days later I was at home at the top of my stairs when a 9cm cyst burst and brought me down so quickly I fell down the stairs. I was rushed into surgery to stop internal bleeding and repair the damage. 2 weeks later, I went home after they removed the 8 staples from the laparotomy incision. Leaving the 50 some stitches inside to dissolve. My heart goes out to any woman going through the same things. The pain has been compared to labor. I agree. No not all cases are as bad, but ladies, mine started out small. So I ignored it. There wasn't any information out there either. If you are here because you're worried about pain you're feeling, don't be like me! Don't ignore it. Go to your doctor, ask a shit ton of questions, and if they don't seem to care, get another doc. A specialist whenever possible. Get an ultrasound, topical AND internal. And don't be afraid to fight for yourself. The pain is real. It is not cyclic. But it can get worse during menstruation. We are an incredibly strong sex, but we don't have to just tough it out. We do that enough. Much love ladies 💜

Also, been diagnosed also with ovarian cyst on both ovaries. Right ovary has avascular complex cyst with solid components and on the left ovary has a simple cyst and avascular complex cyst with internal echoes and calcification. Lastly, cervix has incidental cervical nabothian cysts. Anyways, currently waiting for the referral gynaecologist office to set the schedule. I hope you can make videos about fibroids.

    I had cyst on my left ovary. I was told by gynae nothing to worry about. Pain persist. I went back to another gynae consultant . I had surgery. The surgery was just remove cyst. During surgery they found my left ovary covered in cysts along with my right ovary . So both by ovary removed . Further tests showed that the cysts had spread to my omentum and I had to have further surgery to remove my omentum. The cysts were borderline cancerous. Had I not gone back to see another gynae and gave a second opinion I most certainly would have full blown cancer. So ladies never give up checking . If your not happy with diagnosis go back. You life may depend on it. I went into have cancer debunking surgery which basically removes anything the cancerous cells may have seeded into, hysterectomy, both ovaries tubes, appendix, omentum (stomach lining) gall bladder . It’s been quite a journey.

    If you are hurting extremely bad and feeling light headed or passing out while standing, please go to the ER. You'd rather have a large bill than lose your life. I took a bc powder for a headache 2 says before my cyst ruptured and I had these symptoms, but i decided to go to bed and ignore it. I woke up almost dead.

      I always had cystic acne and figured out it was from dairy. So I stopped dairy for many years up until this last year. I eat it like every other day so it won't give me pimples. Like i'll start to grow one then stop dairy for a day and it would go away. I had serious pain in my abdomen this past month and just had an ultrasound today. The radiologist said said she saw a few cysts on my ovary. No more dairy for me ever again!!! Also, plant based butters and oils cause acne for me as well. So I will stop that also. At least not nearly as much as I've been eating!

    when I was 16 my doctor diagnosed me with pcos after I switched my birth control pill. he told me that it would be hard for me to get pregnant and I was in shock. He prescribed me the regular pill again. 2 years ago I switched to another OB/GYN and he told me that those were probably functional cysts because I switched to an estrogen free pill. I no longer take any hormones and have a regular cycle so I probably won't have any problems to conceive ❤️

    For over 20 years I was in constant pain I was back and forth to the doctors I was diagnosed for years then I was told I had pcos and endometriosis anyway I was told it’s not dangerous and was sent on my Merry way, but as the years past the pains got worse and worse I was constantly told it’s just constipation because I’m thin so I was sent for more test and was told i have diverticulitis so nothing was done and the pains constantly consisted then I started losing weight as when I would eat a mouthful of food I’d be full up then I started being sick every day for about two years, so I go back to the doctors and told them that the pain is just constantly there she said it’s most probably just poo as she could feel a lump in my tummy then she said it was just constipation so I lied and said I had been a poo twice in the morning I hadn’t so I was sent for a scan and blood tests my blood markers came back really high and in the scan I was told my ovary was 72 mm big , my mum said so what does that mean the nurse said well it’s supposed to be about 30 mm. So then the nurse left the room and came back in with loads of doctors they was looking at the images on the scan and I was told to get dressed and wait so we did I was then taken into a room and told I will need surgery to remove this cyst. Within a few days I was called back to the hospital and taken to the McMillan department then told that they suspected it was a chocolate ovarian cancer cyst I was given a big green McMillan diary with loads of information and to try not to worry. I came home expecting to have surgery at my local hospital but no I was sent to st Thomas I was taken into the cancer department and was explained everything that will happen and was booked in for a operation in a few months time then a few days later I get a call from my mum saying the hospital have rang and there has been a cancellation and my operation is in two days time so the day came we all went to the hospital I got settled in for the morning surgery and on the way down to the operating room I said lucky there was a cancellation the doctors said there wasn’t a cancellation we needed to get you into surgery ASAP as it could rupture at any time so my mum fibbed because she didn’t want to scare me. I had a twelve hour operation to remove my ovary,tube and lymph nodes in my tummy just in case the cancer had spread... so I’m grateful to still be alive but I wanted to know if I could claim compensation for going through this for twenty odd years and being misdiagnosed three times I mean if I hadn’t of said I’d been a toilet that day I would of just been sent home still in pain like a ticking time bomb so do I have any rights ?

  • @StephanieRZ
    @StephanieRZ Před rokem

    Wow, thank you so much for making this video! Honestly, when I was 14, many years ago now, I was in severe, sharp pains that brought me to the ER & I've experienced CT scanning, and ultrasounds from ages 14 & 16+, though at said original time, I was ruled with a 'rupture. Small, and normal sized. Though since it was painful, I was quite concerned. Thankfully, it's good to know that again, it was a part of the normal cycle, and since I was young at the time, we kindly declined suppressions'. At 16, it surely was normal findings, though, it was with each side having their own developments haha.
    And nowadays, I've endured from ages 21-22, with AUB and/or dysmenorrhea; 2 weeks. Progesterone-only pills for a short-time has helped so much, though it came to my concern when I noticed that Day 1, not only did the medicine show sign of it working but I ovulated. It was as if, increasing [progesterone] or assisting in the imbalance to stop my AUB; Helped me ovulate, and/or coincidentally, it was just my time to. *What gets me is its timing that it happened. Magically its medicine helped me, and I've since stopped the AUB. Thankfully, and God willingly. -- In short, it's simply questioning if it was the medicine that assisted with it, if so, then that might be what I theorize as AUB-O as a possibility, not for certain; just from online researching to have inform myself a bit better as to the possible causes of my AUB... respectfully. *I do ovulate thankfully, it just may possibly be hormonal imbalances with progesterone. And it's since been resolved, I feel. :')
    Though, since female health is considered invasive, especially when young, it's debatable to even visit. Thankfully my primary general doctor's been helpful since. Honestly, videos like these are appreciated. Any feedback as well, would be! My concern mainly is if it's AUB-O(?) And/or if this can be resolved or will it affect in the long-haul? Goodness forbid.
    *I've at least now learnt, that usually it's hormonal medicine that gets recommended, either to treat it and/or even un/fortunately for the long haul. Protecting my fertility's what's most important, I feel.

    I didn't know I had endometriosis until last year when a 25cm endometrioma ruptured at the age of 24. I was rushed to the ER and had an emergency surgery where the surgeon drained the cyst and removed the right ovary and tube it was attached to. It was the worst pain I've ever felt and I really felt I was dying. I had to get two blood transfusions before my surgery because I was losing a lot of blood, and I got sepsis. Unfortunately since the surgeon wasn't an endo specialist and she only drained the cyst instead of removing it, the cyst has grown back. I also found out from ultrasound I have more cysts on my left remaining ovary. Going in for surgery again this October with an expert and I hope it will be the last surgery I get in a long time. Funnily enough I didn't have much symptoms even with my giant cyst. I wish there was more awareness of this topic because I never even heard of the term endometriosis before my diagnosis, and I thought I was healthy!

    I’ve had cysts basically since I started having cycles. In 2014 I started having abdominal pain that grew worse as the hours passed. I came home from working second shift and could hardly walk at that point so I went to bed, hoping it would be better in the morning. A few hours later the pain was so severe that I was crying and literally could not move at all. My husband helped me get dressed and we went to the ER. After HOURS of writhing and moaning in pain as multiple tests were conducted, they finally determined that I had internal bleeding from a ruptured cyst and needed emergency surgery. I had blood around my liver and spleen and that was the MOST excruciating pain I’ve ever felt. I couldn’t lie flat and I couldn’t even move to take my clothes off and put a hospital gown on in the OR. They had to wait to change me until I had some anesthesia. Recovery was smooth and although I had painful cysts numerous times after that, I’m fortunate enough to have avoided another hemorrhagic one.

    I think I’ve been having them for a long time. I’m on birth control pills but I have fairly frequent pain that comes and goes around my left ovary. Sometimes it’s sharp like a running cramp. They found a cyst a few months ago and I went back last week, it was gone on it’s own. Thing is I still have a dull pain just sitting there. When I move or adjust how I’m sitting it hurts. They see nothing there though. I can’t afford to keep going and getting it checked since my insurance only covers half of the fees ugh. It’s like $300 every time I go have them look :(. Is there anything I can do at home to try and prevent them besides birth control? Or at least manage the pain?

    Hi Dr. I have serous cytadenoma. Was feeling bloated had notice changes in my bowel movement, constipation, feeling full, pressure in pelvic area similar to pain when holding per for long time & pain during intercourse. Ultrasound showed 9.1cm serous cystadenoma. Looks like clear fluid 1 possible thin wall septation . They suggested monitoring 3-6-12 months. However following the ultrasound my pain just progressively got more constant and started extending to lower back upper left and eventually right leg. I’m 26y old I’m worried of cancer because my sister was diagnosed with rare form of lung cancer at 27 (never smoked before) and it started out as a cyst that cancer had developed on top off. My mom had stomach and thyroid cancers. My aunt had mucenous boderline cystadenomas removed when she was 60 but was told boderline are more often seen in younger women. I’m worried I have some kind of family history here even tho they tell me it’s most likely not related. My doc did advise me to encourage my mom getting genetic testings. I’m worried that it seems like typically serous cystadenoma are seen in older women? I’m only 26. Also I have seen that low grade serous cystadecarcinoma which is most often seen in younger women is thought to evolve from boderline cystadenoma that formed from serous cystadenoma…. I took 125 test even though I was told it is pointless because can be false from menstruations or even certain types of ovarian cancers ( like lgsoc) don’t show up on 125. It was negative so that’s good but it won’t tell me the future. I asked if MRI OR CT scan could give more answers they said no so I don’t want to push it. I’m opting for surgery mainly because my symptoms aren’t going away and although they don’t seem to be getting sharper they do seem to be spreading and more constant. They told me for surgery they would drain the cyst in cavity with no spillage method via laparoscopy . I’m worried about contamination if pathology comes back cancer I know even though my chances are low there is still a possibility and somehow I’m skeptical because my cyst seems to be more rare at my age. They also offered laparotomy with removing ovary.
    PLEASE give me your opinion on my cyst. Based on my family history my aunt having had boderline cyst. My age 26 with serous cystadenoma is that common??? They won’t let me get another opinion so I’m staying whit that same gynecologist… idk what to think
