Hello I am new to this and saw many posts on health and didnt know if anyone could shed some light on my confused health issue!! - not sure if the right area to post so Im sorry if its in the wrong area.
I am 42, been on the mini pill for years, never had any issues until 4 months ago. I got a UTI, always getting cystitis so took antibiotics and was fine, until a month later. I started to get lower left stabbing pains on my adnexa/ovary area more so around the week before the time of the month but now its pretty much everyday. Its like a hot feeling, burning but sharp, its not horrific its just there....
I had an ultrasound which detected a 3.2cm simple cyst a month ago but then disappeared and another one formed this month 2.5cm thin walled water cyst a follicle one again I am told on the right. Then I was told I now have a 1.7cm thin walled water signal cyst, no components, no septation which they think on the left is a peritoneal inclusion cyst (complicated words I know).
When my gynae examined me internally he felt my ovaries and both (more so left) was really tender and sore I was in pain the next day, after with this sharp stabbing feel again...
Anyone had anything like this before? My gynae said I may have mild endometriosis which I am really worried about but I have no other symptoms really apart from x3 days of cramping monthly but no period at all. Still feel fine and eating like a pig!!
Just a tad concerned....all started with the lovely UTI I had in March, blame something I know!!
thank you for reading...xx
i was diagnosed with endo a couple of years ago , i remember the pain being bad and not having a period or it being very irregular. my ovaries also hurt and a common problem with endometriosis is cycts on the ovaries but some people can have mild endo and feel fine and just a little pain. there shouldn't be anything to worry about because endo can be treated somewhat easily and they're some ways to do it . i hope this helped (:
Thank you for your reply. Will it go once you have surgery. I have noticed there are constant cysts forming, only small mind you but just always there. I am on the mini pill and ideally want to come off it but not sure if I should....!!! just trying to think how to get rid of the cysts without surgery (some people say food helps and diet change) as well as cutting out certain things etc....
if there's any major cause they will be removed during surgery and having the surgery helps immensely. my pain was gone after i healed from the laparoscopy and ive had very little pain since then. they found lots of built up tissue that they couldn't get all out when i had my surgery done so my opinion is to get it done sooner than later so there isn't problems that could come later on in life. what does your doctor say about the cysts?
