I have recently been told that I have a
cyst in one of my ovaries, which is
causing me great pain! I am really
worried about this as I have also been
bleedin for 3 weeks now. I was told that
this may cause trouble with concieving and
I am absolutely terrified as I am only 17
years old!
Is this true? Will I might not be able to
have kids?

Well I will tell you my story, I am 18
years old to start off. This week
alone I have been to the er three times.
The first day I went I was in the worst
pain I have ever felt. I have been
having stomach problems for two years.
I have been told everything from ulcers,
ibs, to gallbladder stones to just simply
gas. Well this trip to the er my
bladder was really full and I told the
ultrasound tech I needed to pee. She
started taking pics of my bladder and was
suprised because how full it was.
They ran several test. They didn't
find the ruptured cyst, but the fluid from
the tests they ran showed that I had a
cyst that had ruptured. Well they
gave me medicine and sent me home.
The very next day, I woke up in pain but
didn't really think anything of it they
told me I was going to be feeling pretty
bad. Well I was told to drink water
stay away from anything with caffine.
So I was eating watermelon and drinking
water. Well my stomach started
swelling, like I was about 6 months
pregnant. And I only weigh about 115
pounds at the most. I felt like I
really needed to pee. So I went to
the restroom and couldn't pee a drop.
So immediatly we called the er they said
get here as fast as you can. So we
did, they put a catherine in me. I
filled the bag up within minutes. The
doctor gave me a choice either stay at the
hospital or I could go home with the
catherine. Well I went home. I
was doing okay feeling bad still but I
knew that was going to happen.
Well yesterday the hospital was holdling a
big fund raiser for a doctor's wife and
she also is my boyfriends sister she has a
rare blood disease. So all the
doctors and most of the nurses and staff
were at the local baseball field doing the
fund raiser.
I slept most of the day but my boyfriend
woke me up when he had came home from the
fund raiser. I laid in bed in pain I
started having sharp pains I had never
felt before going threw my stomach
ovariarys and back.I started crying.
We knew that most of the er were at the
baseball field, but I needed to get to the
er quick. I have not had a bowel
movement since the first trip to the er
which was wednesday.
So I go in and they have this doctor that
is forieng. He comes in asks whats
wrong and everything and I tell him
everything at that point I was almost out
of it because how bad the pain was.
He did nothing whatsoever. But they
did xrays of my stomach pelvic and
ovaries. While I was getting the
xrays done I asked the tech if I was to
young to be having cyst. She told me
no some girls can start as soon as they
start there periods.
I also asked if I would be able to have
kids she said most women who have cyst
whether they rupture or not can have
kids.
My advice is to go to the doctor or the er
if your bleeding because that sounds very
serious. I wasn't bleeding, but you
really should go. They put me on
birthcontrol and I am suppose to start
taking it today. Tomorrow I go back
to get the catheran taken out. To see
if I can pee on my on, I hope I can
because I am just as afraid as you are.
It is very serious though and you should
be concerned. Please go get it
checked out. I believe there are
vitamins you can take if it hasn't
ruptured.
I wish you luck and hang in there! I
hope this helps you somewhat, the reason I
found this site was to find some answers
myself and if you look around under
ovarian cyst you can find some answers to
some questions you may have.
If you would like to send me a private
message feel free to. I will answer any
question for you.
