hi all, ive recently been diagnosed with an endometrioma on my right ovary.
I got scanned because id experienced a few bouts of extremely intense pain on the right side of my pelvis. Its only 3cm so ive been told it shouldn't cause pain, but ive been experiencing near constant throbbing for about 9 days now. Before, during and now after my period.
Im on cycle day 8 and have stopped bleeding but the pain is quite bad this morn... Does anyone have any advice? Just take ibuprofen?xxx
heat pad helps mine but I also take Tramadol too x
hi I had a cyst that was 1cm and this caused a lot of pain, I took naproxen and when required tramadol. The cyst disappeared after this.
really even at 1cm?? That makes me feel better as I was told 3cm shouldn't hurt but it does!!
yes at 1cm it was giving me a lot of pain I initially went to the doctor as I had right hand sided pain. I don’t know why doctors say you shouldn’t have pain when a cyst is say x size, as we are all different 😀😃😁
mine is is only 1cm and I have pain!! I’ve been told they are not concerned and it doesn’t need monitoring 🙃 Toz88
it’s odd isn’t it that doctors say it doesn’t need to be monitored because something so small can give us pain!
I think it depends on your doctor as to what advice you are given x
what happened with your 1cm cyst? I can’t believe how much pain im in 
when I got it checked out again it had gone, not sure why they come and go? x
oh really, I was told an endometrioma doesn’t come and go like a functional cyst would. It’s so confusing x
mine was a chocolate cyst, I’m really not sure about the different types of cysts we can get, maybe other will have knowledge on here that could help us? X
I would recommend the following:
Castor Belt from Enhanced Health ( changes everything) read about castor oil for endometriosis online.
Blackstrap molasses and apple cider vinegar table spoon in warm water twice a day. For the cyst
Supplements: Evening primrose oil, estroaid, Oxypowder.
Progesterone cream ( under the guidance of a naturopath)
Lastly, for cramps Somedays cramp cream is amazing used topically.
I am totally pain free and had stage 4 endometriosis! I did the above consistently for months and never looked back ❤️
Hi Deekemi, did doing these things alleviate the pain only or did they also help shrink the endometriomas?
omg thank you so much for sharing!!! This is incredibly helpful. I will start doing all of this <3
Please speak to your GP before starting to take any supplements/vitamins etc, as they can interact with each other or with medication that you're currently taking xx
lol as if ''speaking to your gp" is an option. But yes take your point thank you, im not on any medication 😘
hi,
I am in the same boat as you. I had a 9cm one removed last year and have just been scanned again and they found one on each side this time. One 4cm, the other 5cm.
I take paracetamol and ibuprofen pretty much constantly and it takes edge off. The drs have given me codiene but i cant take it when im working or alone with the children so basically never. Hot baths and a heat pad help a little bit also.
I will be following this post for any other tips.
Hope you can find some relief soon
oh you poor thing, will you have yours operated on??? So hard to live with pain
I am waiting to be referred back to the consultant at the hospital to see what they want to do. I have very bad scarring and he did say last time that he wont opoperate on me again because its too high risk.
This disease is just so awful isnt it. We are just expected to live with pain 😔
hi,
I dont think it needs to be any size for it to be more painful. Ive had varying sizes over the years of different pain intensities.i currently have one around 3-4 cm on my left ovary(simple cyst) which gives me very sharp constant pains ,and one on my right of 9cm (endometrioma) which is a dull constant pain and feel i pressure as well as difficulty passing urine at times and needing to pee frequently. I take cocodamol and tramadol and at times ,naproxin..dont let anyone tell you how much pain you should be in, its your body ,not theirs!!almost like they are invalidating your pain.
it was a gynaecologist that told me that as well!! Normally it just throbs but I had one cycle where I was in agony before ovulation, felt like id been stabbed but she said it couldn't be the cyst. But it was in exactly that spot...
I get the same cyclical pains,more so around ovulation ,like im being stabbed with a knife.i get the same sharp pain in my bowels when they start to move ,its like someone dragging the tip of a knife around every inch of my intestine. Its horrific. Nobody can tell you when your not in pain. How would they know? Its just ignorance..
I am 3 weeks out post op and they have just discovered a golf ball sized one😳 makes sense why surgery isn’t an option, but am I crazy for being in this much constant pain??? It’s like I feel hesitant and guilty to even begin to ask to refill my pain meds because I feel like I’m being judged.
