Ovarian Cyst

Last Friday I went to my OBGYN for an ultrasound due to pelvic pain. It turns out I had a follicle ovarian cyst that ruptured. I am still in a lot of pain, but do seem to be improving a little bit each day. Has anyone ever had one rupture? Do you remember how long it took for your pain to go away? I'm still very tender and sore. Normal?

I have had two ovarian cysts rupture...that's why I went on BC when I was 17. Not had once since. For me the pain was excrutiating for an hour or so, then after it ruptured I was okay. Just exhausted for several days. I really didn't have any prolonged soreness...but I did take some painkillers for several days afterwards though... How long has your pain been going on? Hope you feel better soon!

I have had one also. The pain was intense for several hours, and then just soreness for a few days, as I remember. Also, the area was painful or tender to the touch. I was kind of worn out after.

I have had one rupture too and the pain was severe when it happened...stopped me in my tracks and then it was just sore for a few days after that. I do get them from time to time now, but have never had another one rupture. My gyn said some will go away without rupturing.

Hope you feel better soon!

HI, Yes, I've had many over the years rupture and boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy they can hurt. Usually with in 24 hours, things should start to get better or at least more tolerable. I"d take ibprofen for the next 24 to 48 hours for sure. I've also had two of them that I Had to go in for emergency surgery for. OUCH!

Do you have endometriosis too?

Yes. I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, so I've had a LOT of them rupture. My MD explained that the fluid inside the cysts is toxic to the peritoneum of the gut. Hence, when one ruptures, it caues a lot of inflammation throughout the abdomen. The biggest concern with that, is that it can cause peritonitis, the same condition you get when your appendix ruptures. Just keep check on it. If after 4-5 days, you don't have some significant relief, I would go back to your MD, just to be on the safe side. Good luck to you . . . . Lynne

Interesting! I didn't know that....

Thank you so much for writing back everyone! I think my cyst may have ruptured a week ago today and then I had the ultrasound the next day. My doctor said she could see fluid in the nearby tissues, so she knows it ruptured. I was in pain and very nauseous for the weekend and Monday. On Tuesday I started to feel better and since then I've been improving each day. Mostly I've been tired and tender. I just got my period after 60 days and I do have endometriosis, so I am guessing that some of my pain stems from that. My OBGYN doesnt' think I should be concerned and that my pain will subside.

Tiredofdoctors, thanks for sharing what your doctor told you about the fluid irritating the abdomen when a cyst pops. I didn't know it was similar to appendicitis. Have a good night.

I've been told that I've had "resolved" cysts over the years; now that I am near menopause I am told that when I get cyst (which I had two giant ones last year that still plague me) that as we get older our bodies don't deal with them as efficiently as and as quickly as they used to.

Thankfully, mine didn't burst, but the pain from just when they were enlarged (6 cm on left and 3 cm on right I was told) OUCH! I was in pain no matter what position I was in. They still bother me from time to time even though they've receded somewhat..

That's interesting too Deb… I hope and pray I may have "grown out" of my cysts. Guess I'll find out when I get off BC. My periods were pretty unbearable though--had to take painkillers. Which there was a 'natural' or diet alternative therapy for this problem....

You should feel better in about 4 or 5 days. I take birth-control (Mircette) to control these. I had surgery to remove one, but it came right back.

I think I just had one burst yesterday... OMG it hurt so freakin bad. I'm still really sore today and didn't know how I was going to make it through work today.

Nini, I hope you're feeling better soon. I've had this problemtoo and I think it must be related to endo, since I have talked with a few women with both also. Just be careful because it could very well be an appendix problem on the right side and the pain is the same. I also ran a fever with mine for a few days, so be very mindful of this. Drs. --I should qualify--male--drs, don't seem to show much concern over this. I would think the complications could be quite dangerous especially in a person whose health is already compromised by celiac. But who are we mere peons to question??!! Get well All! :)

this was on my left side and I do have endometriosis as well. I was dx'ed with polycystic ovaries and endo about 10 years ago... had the laser laparoscopy surgery and it helped for a while, but they said it would come back. I have an appt. with a new Dr. April 6th, so I'm trying to hold out til then.

well yes, the cysts stop when you stop ovulating in menopause. But during peri menopause Dr. told me is when body doesn't take care of the cysts on its own as it would do naturally.

For those of you with endometriosis, do you experience tenderness, fatigue, and nausea before and during your periods? If so, what helps you?

Guest nini

what generally helps me is a heating pad on my belly and a cup of hot peppermint tea with honey and some Tylenol and sleep! I usually need to rest with my feet up and the hot pack in order to get ANY relief.

Thanks, Nini. I'll try the heating pad idea. Are those pretty typical symptoms of endo? I'm still new to it. By the way, I hope you're feeling better.

thanks, I'm feeling a little better today. As far as I know they are pretty typical symptoms. My mom had it too and polycystic ovaries and fibroid tumors... she ended up having a hysterectomy at 48

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful.

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.
