Get a biopsy done. Do not take it lightly if your doc recommends that it is unnatural.\n\nAdditionally, please consult someone whom you pay -paying is important, unfortunately these days nothing matters but the money. God forbid, if anything was to happen to you, it is yours and your loved ones loss and no one will be held reponsible for negligence, they have laws to safeguard their interests.\n\nWish you a healthy life.

Try not to worry too much, but it's good that you're seeing the doctor. Harmless ovarian cysts are very common and can cause strange menses, but often a short or otherwise abnormal mense is seemingly caused by nothing at all.

probably not a danger - you are 23.  Ask a doctor - I think I've seen papers on this - it's seen in a few men - but you might want to get it checked out so that you feel better about it - when you find a partner you'd like to share it with - would be nice if you could explain it with confidence!

I am having the same problem. Only I have a small cyst on both ovaries.  I am having an internal ultra sound just to be sure. My doctor said this is quite normal and in most case they burst on their own and go away.  On occasion they do become larger but not in all cases.  This is when they have to be removed or have the ovary removed.  This does not happen in every case.  Just keep up with your doctor's advice and have it checked periodically.

I would hate to say yes you should be worried but you definitely should be more concerned and vigilant. If I were you I'd definitely go back to my doctor as soon as possible. Ovarian cysts are very serious though sometimes doctors can downplay this fact. Did your doctor do a follow up after you went off your birth control? It's important to have the cysts monitored to see if they are enlarging or shrinking. They may need to be removed. I wish you luck!!!!

At your age a cancerous cyst i.e. breast cancer is extremely rare. I had a lump at your age and it was a benign cyst which is hormonal. Go to your doctor and don't be scared. 99% lumps are just cysts. I get alot of them just like my mum does. I am so pleased I went to my doctor because I get alot of them, but get every one checked... just to be sure.

To remove a cyst it's always outpatient unless there are complications. Recently they have had great success with using laperoscopy to remove them. It is when they make two very small incisions and insert a laserguided scalple and camera to preform the surgery instead of having to make a huge incision and open you up. If you have a choice do it this way! \n\nIt is common to have alot of pain when you have an ovarian cyst. I personally did not but I was told I was an odd case. If you don't have the surgery you run the risk of the cyst rupturing and dying of internal bleeding so it is a good idea to have it removed when they get that big. Even if they don't cause pain. Make sure that when you consent to the surgery that you do not sign anything that gives them the right to take out your whole ovary if they think it's necessary. People have different opinions on what makes it necessary, your doctor is not always going to do what you would have wanted. Make sure you give yourself the choice.\n\nIt's a simple proceedure, complication is unlikely and you should be fine when it's over. Good luck and be well. :)

I just went through a cancer scare and had some ovarian cysts removed. Here are the links I found most useful:\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000893.htm\nhttp://www.emedicine.com/radio/topic511.htm\nhttp://www.cancerwise.org/september_2004/display.cfm?id=f35c37df-ac53-4bc0-ac5511ac88865f3d&method=displayfull&color=green\nhttp://ovacome.jamkit.com/Home\nhttp://www.reutershealth.com/wellconnected/doc92.html\nhttp://health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/tw9761;_ylt=AsFgabc6Y97oSXeL5gIYjdEog7MF#tw9761-sec\nhttp://www.endo-resolved.com/index.html\n\nGood luck, and remember that until they biopsy it, you can't know for sure that you've got cancer. I had FIVE test results indicating cancer, but it wasn't cancer!

Please go to your Gyno. They would know best. Plus if its something harmful then it can be taken care of. But if its just your anatomy it can be explained to you at your benefit. Good luck!

A cyst may or may not be a benign tumor. You should see a doctor.

hi..most likely you are having PID(pelvic inflamatory disease)...as far as UR history of cyst goes, it seem quite unlikely to be the root cause..\nMy advice to you is to go for lower abdomen ultrasound after taking charcol tablets and then consult your gynecologist...I feel that most likely it is PID.....Also if you fail to get any relief from Gyne, then do consult your surgeon to rule out any possiblity of inguinal hernia..\nAnd I am sure that once you take proper treatment, then you would be again enjoying sex with your partner..\ntake care.

Could be a benign cyst.  Could be an infected lymph node.  Could be something more serious.  Go to your doctor right away!

Well it depends what kind of cysts she has. There are some that are just cyclical..meaning, they grow and burst each month. Those are considered "normal". If she has one that continues to remain large, it will most likely need to be removed surgically. Often a woman can lose that ovary. You should try to find out what kind she has for more information.\n\nSide effects..the cylical ones hurt when they burst.
