I went to my ob/gyn back in June mainly due to pelvic pain I was having generally on my left side. It had also been 2 years since my last pap. My doctor did a pelvic exam and a pap and after asking me a series of questions about my symptoms told me that I probably had a cyst on my ovary. She did not order an ultrasound though. She put me on birth control pills and told me if it did not help to call her back. Well about a week later I got a phone call that my pap was abnormal (ASCUS positive for low risk HPV) so I went back in for a colposcopy. The results of the colposcopy were CIN 1. I go back in November for a re-colpo. However, I am still having pain on my left side. It will go away for a couple of weeks and then come right back. The most painful time is during my period. I called my doctor and told him and he said to try one more pack of birth control pills and if it didn’t help they would schedule more tests. My mom and my sister both have endometriosis. My mom had to have a complete hysterectomy when she was 22 due to her endometriosis. I am 25. I have been doing a lot of research and found out that your sigmoid colon runs very near your left ovary. So I thought maybe it could be diverticulosis. So I took some mild stool softners (that were not oh so mild!). I had major diarrhea that whole day (sorry if TMI). This made my left side hurt even more. Could it possibly be because when you have diarrhea it causes your colon to spasm and it rubbed against my cyst causing irritation? Also I had a c-section Jan 2008. Could I have developed adhesions causing my left side pain? Basically the only symptoms that I am having is left side pelvic pain (comes and goes.. sometimes it will hurt for 2 weeks sometimes it won’t hurt at all for 2 weeks) and mild lower back pain (not sure if the lower back pain is from PMS or the cyst). I do not have any pain during sex, frequent urination, full feeling.. etc. Should I be concerned about ovarian cancer? I’m just ready to get the ball rolling and get an ultrasound. Should the doctor have ordered one first of all in the first place? I was just wanting some personal opinions and maybe some people that experienced similar things. Thank you!

ok so like two years ago, i had a really bad pain, after having sex, where i couldnt move and i was in a fetal like position, and i went to the ER and i got ultrasounds and they told me i had softball sized cysts on my ovaries. and so they told me to go get on birth control and i did, and i havent had the pain since.

Last night i got the same exact pain (during sex, and then we stopped) for well over an hour, and i am pretty sure it is because of my cysts. the pain is undescriable, but its like having a miscarrage ( only no blood) I stopped taking birth control this past feb, and i havent had a period since.

so my question is, can ovarian cysts cause you to not have a period? and can they cause infertility? i now do not have any medical insurance, and i do not want to pay full price to go to the doctors, considering that they will probably do ultrasounds and they are pricey. what are your opinions on what i should do? have you had them before? what happened?

I went to the doctors last week and they think I might have an ovarian cyst. So I have to get an ultra sound this week.
But I was wondering if anyone had an ovarian cyst and what they did to treat/cure it & if I did have one & had to get it removed what kind of surgery would they do?
My symptoms are cramping on one side & its constantly and pain during sex.
