Ovarian Cysts

I've been prone to ovarian cysts for 5years and am in near constant pain with them. I've tried different contraceptions, painkillers and keyhole surgery but they always return. My doctor said removing my ovary would be best but im too young- im only 21! My G.P is consulting with his senior for more options but I can't wait. Tests confirm they are abnormal cysts but cannot be operated on almost every month! I am so depressed from the agony I feel death is the dream and life is the nightmare! Please help!! Rhiannon x

Hi thanks for replying! I've seen the gynecologist many times and last had surgery around 6months ago. I last had ultrasound about 3-4 months ago which confirmed a 4cm cyst but could not be operated on so soon after surgery. My docs are more interested in pay cheques than patients and send me off with ineffective painkillers but i cant travel to different docs in agony! I'm losing hope! I have had appointments but have missed the 2 due to the pain and they won't do a home visit. Are there any other options? I've put myself on a strict low-carb diet and remedies such as chasteberry to try and deter them but I'm so down I can barely eat! Please help! x

Hi and welcome to the forum.  I am so sorry that you are in so much pain.  Have you seen a gynecologist?  If not, that is where I would start.  It sounds like you have gone through a lot.  It sounds like they may need to do a laparotomy (open incision) to make sure that they are getting all of the cyst out.  When is your next appointment?  When was your last surgery?  Have you had an ultrasound done recently?  Is it possible that the pain you are feeling is from recovery of your last surgery?  Sometimes it can take 6 months before you are 100% again.  Please keep us updated on how you are doing.
