To all the ladies with cysts!

I have an appointment on Tuesday but until then I am nervous... I believe i have a cyst on my right ovary :o( i could actually feel a bump about the size of a penny on thursday, then later on friday my right side seemed to be a little swollen and not really painful just soar. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this...(for lack of a better word) "swolleness"? Thanks for your help!

I happen to have cysts on my ovaries....one on each due to a previous bout with PID exactly a year ago. I have never experienced swolleness but I do know they are there. It feels like a twingy kind of pinchy feeling. I really know they are there before or after I use the restroom b/c of the pressure that is against them due to my colon and large intestines in that region of my body. Fortunately my cysts are simple follicular.......they were hemorrhagic and complex when I had PID. The doctor said that they shouldn't be a problem unless they start to get bigger and bigger. Mine have dissolved and then came back but they stay pretty small and sometimes I will only get one on an ovary instead of one on each. The doc said I was just a cyst developer. A lot of women are and most cases it is not serious. But just remember to breathe and relax and hope for the best. You more than likely will have an ultrasound done on your ovaries to measure the size and to see the blood flow and complexity of the cyst. No biggie on that ...just be patient and wait until you find out for sure what is going on. By the way I am an xray technologist who had some training in ultrasound too. I wish you the best with everything and if you have any more questions of me feel free to ask!
