A cyst is a fluid-filled sac. In most cases a cyst on the ovary does no harm and goes away by itself. Most women have them sometime during their lives. Cysts are rarely cancerous in women under 50. Cysts sometimes hurt - but not always. Often, a woman finds out about a cyst when she has a pelvic exam.

If you're in your childbearing years or past menopause, have no symptoms, and have a fluid-filled cyst, you may choose to monitor the cyst. You may need surgery if you have pain, are past menopause or if the cyst does not go away. Birth control pills can help prevent new cysts.

A health problem that may involve ovarian cysts is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Women with PCOS can have high levels of male hormones, irregular or no periods and small ovarian cysts.

Resolved Question: Should I have my 7cm ovarian Cyst surgically removed? One Dr says yes, another Dr told me No? ? (Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:34:07 GMT)
I have a 7cm cyst, diagnosed through an ultrasound last week. It was incredibly painful and went to Emergency, only to be told I'd need to have it out and to get to a specialist ASAP. So I went to my GP for the refferal, only to be told that it would take too long to get into a specialist, so I'll just need to manage the pain as best I could with panadol and panadine forte. I went away thinking "is this the right management of what I have?" I work full time and have a 3.5yr old son, and don'

Resolved Question: Best solutions for ovarian cysts? (Mon, 16 Jan 2012 05:50:40 GMT)
I started having abdominal pain about 2 years ago, which resulted in many visits to the ER before a doctor was able to find an ovarian cyst causing problems. I was put on bed rest for 2 weeks following that incident, and placed on a birth control pill to keep more cysts from showing up. I still had pain while taking the pill, but it was significantly less than I had before. This summer I was busy and didn't get a chance to go back to the doctor for a couple of months. By that time, I was havin

It's my period. I usually get it on the 25 of every month. Yesterday was my first day, it was about a week late. I was away on vacation and have never had a period like that.

I'm also a DES granddaughter, which I've read can slightly increase your risk of ovarian cancer. For about the past month, I've had these
