Okay well to start off im 14 years old and
im goen to be a sophmore next year. Last
time I went to the er I had been diagnosed
with ovarian cists, not just one or two, a
cluster. And now whenever I start my
period I am in so much pain and then when
I end it I usually go to the er cuz im in
so much pain. The doctors at ucd and
sutter keep telling me I will grow out of
them. What should I do? Any advice or
anything that will help?? And im also
very active, im a cheerleader, soccer
player, softball player and dancer. So
sometimes my cists make it hard for me to
do anything. Thanks, nicole

You Need to See An Obgyn Posted: 06-10-05 15:43pm
I'm 18 years old and when I was 16 I had
my first ovarian cysts burst in the middle
of class. It is the worse feeling in the
world. I went to the er and my mom got
me in with the obgyn that she worked with
at the time. After an ultrasound and a
few hours of waiting she said there was
nothing they could do other than pain
meds. To help keep cysts from forming
she put me on birth control. I'm not
sexually active so my pills are only to
help with my cysts. I with I could tell
you that they help 100% but that's not
true. I had another one burst when I was
17, but since I had gone through it before
I didn't go to the er I just sat at home
and took some pain meds. I've since gone
off the pill because it was becoming to
much money and I still have the cysts.
This website helped me understand more of
what goes on with my ovaries http://www.4woman.Go
v/faq/ovarian_cysts.Htm . I hope
that I have helped you in some way. Just
know that you can still be active with
them, I was in the marching band for 4
years. I've learned how when I have them
and when I should be ready for them to
burst. Just be sure to tell your obgyn
why you are there and remember not to be
scare when you do go.

You Wont Grow Out of Them!! Posted: 01-06-08 21:43pm
I am 22, started out with one cyst on my
right ovary and now I have Poly Cystic
Ovarian Syndrome and have approximately 20
cysts on each of my ovaries. Being active
is actually a good thing because once they
bust you will feel better for awhile, but
eventually they will come back again. And
yes you do need to see a obgyn!

I was diagnosed with polysystic olvarian
disease when I was 13. Doctor put me on
birthcontrol to control them. She said if
I ever decided to have kids it would be
hard to get pregnant :'( but I.ve learned
to deal wit them. I haven't gotten re
tested in years so I want to ask my doctor
to test me again now that I'm 24 and older
just to see what's going on
