im 15 and have a 5cm cyst in myy right ovary, i just finished taking one set of birth control pills but do i wait until i get my period to start taking them again or do i go on to the next packet straight away?
thnks.
I would ask in this community, they are very knowledgeable.
I have a 20cm dermoid cyst attached to my left ovary i am waiting on an appointment to go into hospital to have the cyst and ovary removed.I work with young children and need to be fit to look after them .So any ideas of how long it will take me to be fit enough for work.The doctor says 4 weeks but most people i have spoken to say it will be much longer.
I would be grateful to hear others experiences.
It depends on how it is done. Vaginally yes, 4 weeks. Abdominaly 6-8 for heavy lifting.
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac in or on the ovary. Many ovarian cysts are noncancerous cysts that occur as a result of ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). These are called functional cysts. Functional cysts normally shrink on their own over time, usually in about 1 to 3 months. Often functional cysts do not cause any symptoms (you may not even know you have one), but other times they can cause abdominal pain, menstrual irregularities, nausea and vomiting. If you have a functional cyst, your doctor may want to check you again in 1 to 3 months to make sure the cyst has gotten smaller. If you develop functional cysts often, your doctor may want you to take birth control pills so you won’t ovulate. If you don’t ovulate, you won’t form functional cysts.
