Guest guest Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I am wondering if anyone here has had an ovarian cyst, and what it felt like and how hard it was to diagnose. I'm just wondering because I had pain a year ago in my right lower abdomen when I went off birth-control pills. I went back on them and didn't have a problem. Two months ago I went off them again, and the pain started again. A year ago when I showed a doctor where the pain was, he said it was likely appendicitis. Since that time I've seen 3 gynocologists and had a total of 4 pap smears. However, I didn't inquire about the abdominal pain during any of those paps because it wasn't present at the time, and I just assumed it was a passing case of appendicitis. Since it's back again, I've realized there may be a correlation between the pain and the absence of birth-control pills. It is pretty constant, dull, minor, and it throbs. I have no abnormal bleeding. Maybe this pain is endometriosis (although it's every day, not just before my period). I know I'll have to see a doctor (AGAIN) for diagnosis, but this last year has really broke my pocketbook and I can't believe a person could possibly need 5 paps in a year. I'm 33 so I don't feel much at risk for ovarian cancer. At this point my best guess is an ovarian cyst. Anyone have a similar story? Does an ovarian cyst throb? Thanks for any help, WTT VIN-1, possible HSV-1 genital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
