Yes! I have ovarian cysts and I've had them for quite a while. After numerous hospital visits and an ovarian cyst discovery, they attributed my lower right flank pain to them. It never fails that when my cycle comes around and the cysts start bursting, my right flank starts up again. I manage with Midol extra strength and Tylenol with warm baths and taking it easy. Good Luck!

What are some other symptoms for ovarian cysts?

Many cysts will go away on their own and you never are aware you have one. However, ovarian cysts can also cause medical problems such as severe pain, frequent urination if the cyst is pressing on the bladder, painful or pressing bowel movements, pelvic pain during intercourse or right before your period, and even tender breasts. Since you are having very severe abdominal pain, this is a potential medical emergency and you should immediately go to your doctor or an emergency room as cysts can also rupture.

What is the cause of a ovarian cyst?

The causes of nonfunctional ovarian cysts are not yet fully understood. Many factors are believed to play a role in the development of cysts, including a woman's general state of health, weight, diet, personal history, and lifestyle. The mind/body connection may also be a factor with cysts, as stress and anxiety may be prominent factors. Some alternative practitioners and psychotherapists believe that unexpressed creativity and repressed emotions like guilt and anger may be linked to problems in the ovaries. Some cysts can be asymptomatic (without symptoms), while others can cause swelling, aching, sharp pain, and bleeding. Pain from cysts may last from a few minutes to a few days. Other symptoms of cysts include late or missed periods, feelings of pressure or weight in the lower abdomen, and constipation and problems urinating due to internal pressure from cysts. Ruptured cysts can cause intense pain, and produce symptoms resembling those of appendicitis, infection or ectopic pregnancy. Medical attention should be sought at once for the following symptoms: * sudden sharp pain in the lower abdomen * persistent pain on the right side of the abdomen accompanied by sickness, fever, or vomiting * abdominal pain along with vaginal discharge, fever, or swelling * Intermittent bursts of pain in the lower abdomen during intercourse, bowel movements, or exercise.

What is a right flank?

The flank refers to the end of the line. The right flank is the far right side of the lines as you are facing the enemy. Flanking the Enemy is to go around the ends of their lines. Example: The 138th New York Volunteer Infantry was on the right flank on Culp's Hill on July 3rd at Gettysburg. If the Confederacy had been able to go around that unit, they would have been able to destroy the Federal Forces and the entire Civil War could have ended up differently. A Right Flank is also a maneuver in military drill. The entire unit pivots to the right on command, changing the direction of movement 90 degrees. If a BLUE army is directly engaging the RED army, then the Right Flank of the BLUE Army will align with the Left Flank of the BLUE army.

I have ache in right lower side that is off and on worst toward my period. The only pain relief I can get is to use a heating pad for pain relief. what could cause this?

Ovarian cysts can cause that pain, most of them will resorb themselves following the menstrual cycle coming to an end. Some of them stay and you have to get operated if they keep growing. Some of them come in fixed cycles ( every 2.3.4.5 yrs) When they burst the pain is unbearable followed with high fever. You need to go to a hospital.


Im 16 and have 3 ovarian cysts one on my right ovary of 12cm and 2 on my left of 3.2 cm and 6.8cm the doc said I need surgery ASAP what can happen if I wait 2-3 months?

Really, your doctor is the best placed person to answer that. If you are unhappy with the way he has dealt with you, you can ask for a second opinion. Your cysts sound fairly big, in an important part of your body, so it might not be good to delay surgery.
