Painful urination related to cyst??
| Sat, 08-23-2003 - 6:21pm |
I've had abdominal pain on my left side for a couple weeks and just yesterday my doctor found an ovarian cyst. Now today I'm having a short, sharp pain when I start to pee. Its really really low in the center of my abdomen. Could this be related to the cyst? If not could I have some sort of infection? Thanks :(

Check back with your doctor if you're really concerned.
I hope you get better soon!
Take care,
Kristin
I'm sorry!

Well I had exactly what you speak of only it was my right side. I would experience pain when my bladder was full because it was putting pressure on my cyst. When I would empty my bladder all my insides would shift around and this hurt so bad that I nearly fell of the toilet. That is when I knew something was wrong and I wound up in the emergency room. It was a 6cm cyst that had ruptured. I imagine that yours has ruptured. The fluid that was released by mine made my abdomen kind of burn a little. They gave me Vicodin for the pain, and it did nothing. I think advil/aleve and hot baths or heating pads were the only thing for me. Peeing was so horrible. I feel your pain, literally.
Even small cysts can rupture and the aftermath is very painful. Unless you respond well to prescription pain killers (I hate them) then I would stay home, relax, and realize that the healing for these things can be a couple of weeks.
hang in there!
