Cysts on an ovary...
Ok, so I just spent yet another night in the ER. I've been having pretty consistent pain for weeks now and last night I had just had enough. I have chronic kidney stones that are generally not humanly passible and require me to have lithotripsy to blast them out. I just figured it was that time again. So off to the ER I go, 4 hours and one cat scan later and the verdict is in...
I DO have plenty of kidney stones but at this moment they are actually up in my kidnets and therefore NOT causing the pain at this time. What I DO have right now that IS causing the pain is that I have a cyst on my right ovary. All they would say to me was here, take these pain meds, and call your OB in the morning.
What is this? Do I have reason to be alarmed? I know there's plenty of you out there with them, should I be doing something??? We've essentially been "trying" to have a baby for a while now with nothing... perhaps this is related? I've also gained about 15lbs in less than a month, could that be related? I'll surely be asking my OB these quetions when I get into him, but I'm impatient!

I know right next to nothing re the ovarian cysts. I remember my older sister (who's now 42) had one when she was about 18/19, and the drs told her it would go away on it's own. I don't recall how long it took, and I don't know if it has any long term effects though...but she did go on to have two babies and didn't have trouble getting pg. I hope this is the case with you.
Good luck...and let's pray your kidney stones don't start kicking in too. One thing at a time!

From what I remember from having mine they go away on their own most of the time. Occassionally they need to be removed but rarely. I think that the Dr described to me that they are eggs that are released but not absorbed by the body or passed into the tubes and they form a cyst (basically a fluid filled sac) but eventually they are absorbed. I'm trying to remember back about 8 years here so forgive me if some of the details arne't correct. Good luck with the OB today!
