Hello! Sorry this is long, but here is my story... I have a couple questions. I have always had painful and irregular periods. This past July, I went to my family doctor after fainting, vomiting, and having severe abdominal pain. My Dr. had to go deliver a baby, so I lied in the room in horrible pain for a couple hours; when he finally came back in, the pain was gone. He did a pelvic ultrasound a couple days later and found fluid, which led to a diagnosis of a ruptured ovarian cyst. Nothing was done after that. The next month, in late August, the same thing happened again, but this time I went to the ER where I was given Morphine and medicine for nausea. A CT scan was done where they again found fluid and diagnosed a ruptured ovarian cyst. I had the same symptoms previously within the past few years, but it wasn't severe enough to warrant a trip to the ER, but the more times it happens, the more severe the pain is. When my family doctor was contacted regarding the CT results, I was told only that it showed no more cysts, which is what they said back in July when they did the ultrasound. Both of the diagnosed ruptures occurred on the first day of my period. Is that normal? After the rupture in August, my family doctor prescribed Trinessa, which has regulated my periods, and I haven't had anymore ruptures. But I still experience pain and nausea nearly every day. A month ago, I went to the doctor up at school (I am 20 and attend a university) and the doctor felt my ovaries and said they felt fine; she said the pain was probably still from the ruptures and to just take ibuprofen (it doesn't help). Could the pain still be from the ruptures or is something else going on? Sometime the pain is severe enough to make me just sit still for a couple minutes until it goes away... the pain also seems to wrap around to my lower back at times. I am hoping to see my family doctor when I go home for Thanksgiving break, but in the meantime, I asked my mom to possibly get a copy of my CT results from August to see if there happens to be anything else going on. Any advice anybody has is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
