Question: How is it possible to have an ovarian cyst while on hormonal birth control? A 4 cm ovarian cyst exists while on either birth control pills, or nuvaring. The doctor says it is a follicular cyst, yet all my research shows that hormones prevent and shrink ovarian cysts.
Pelvic pain/pressure has existed for several years, and many tests and procedures show nothing other than 1 cm fibroid & the cyst.
Answer: i was on the patch when i had my first cyst it was 5.5cm, the patch was hormonal, so i would say yes, after getting off the birth control it went down to 2.5cm.
hope this helps, and good luck!

Answer: Hello, it sounds like you may have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom). The symtoms that you are describing are symptoms of PCOS: Ovarian cysts & hormone imbalance. Some other symtoms (not sure if you have them) are: trouble losing weight, some hair loss, darker hair growth on face and / or arms, and sometimes irregular periods, also infertility or trouble conceiving. Doctors will usually prescibe a diabetic medication called Metformin for treating PCOS because in a lot of cases people w/ this develope Diabetes later on. The medication can assist in weight loss. Weight loss is the key to balancing your hormones and putting these symptoms at bay. You should talk to your doctor. Hope this might help.
Question: Have a cyst on my left ovary that is 6 cm, will I need laparoscopy or laparotomy? I am 24 years old and have been on birth control for last two years and this is my first cyst. Causes pain during intercourse and physical exam. What are the chances I will need a laparotomy and not a laparoscop?
Answer: removing a cyst from the ovary is not done by an invasive technique (laparotomy), usually, unless there is some complications. ovarian cysts are removed by laparoscopy, where the examination can be done with the laparoscope, and then the surgical procedure also done at the same time.
Question: Can a sebaceous cyst be removed above someone’s’ eyebrow? About 18 months ago I had a sebaceous cyst removed just on my solar plexus, however, I have something that feels like a sebaceous cyst above my eyebrow. However, with the sebaceous cyst on my chest, I had it surgically removed with a local anaesthetic. My question is; can I have one removed if it develops above my eyebrow?
Answer: You can certainly have it removed - you may well be able to have it removed under local anaesthetic - go, see your doc before the little critter gets a big critter|!
Question: How can I get direct heat on a sebaceous cyst inside the ear? My husband has a sebaceous cyst in his ear canal, and I'd like to try using heat to treat it. How can I get DIRECT heat on the cyst specifically? I can use a heating pad, but I'm thinking "concentrated" heat right on the cyst. Any ideas?
He has been seen by an ear doctor, and will have the cyst removed next month under General Anesthesia, but if I can maybe avoid this by home treatment, I'd like to.
Thanks.
Answer: how about using a blow dryer on low heat? sometimes its recommended for ear aches
Question: How can i tell if my ovarian cyst is twisted? I have an ovarian cyst and my doctor said it should go away on its own. He also said that I need to make sure it doesn't get twisted though. What are the symptoms of a twisted cyst?

Question: Is it possible to have a nabothian cyst on the endometrium? I was recently told by an ultrasound technician in Guatemala (where I live) that I have a nabothian cyst on my endometrium. Is this even possible? From my research, it looks like nabothian cysts ony exist on the cervix. The more likely conclusion to draw would be that I have a polyp; is that correct?
Answer: Nabaothian cysts are specific to the cervix, just like you said. If there is a collection of fluid in your endometrium, it is likely just a simple cyst. A polyp does not appear the same on ultrasound as a cyst, so it is probably not a polyp. I would follow up with your doctor to get the official results from the radiologist.
Question: Can a cyst give a false positive in a pregnanct test? I was told that i have a cyst on my ovary. Now i have had the symptoms of being pregnant and im not sure if i am. I have taken 4 tests and all positive. Now however on the clearblue instructions it says that ovarian cysts can give missleading results. Is this true or what? Am i pregnant or what?
Answer: I'm kind of having the same issue as you are. 2 months ago my dr told me that I have an ovarian cyst, and to make a follow up appointment in a few months.
I'm having pregnancy symptoms, and I'm about a week late, BUT my tests are reading negative. So I don't know if I'm pregnant, or if it is just the ovarian cyst. I'm trying to get a hold of my dr now to set up an appointment to figure out what is going on.
I hope you get some answers soon too!

Question: How much do a doctor charge to remove a ganglion cyst? I have a ganglion cyst well at least that what the doctor think it is. They have to put me a sleep because they have to someother stuff with the bone(wrist) that the ganglion cyst is near. How much could i be looking at? Do i have to pay for the general anesthesia?
It was like this since april and it is gettin bigger...and the blood flow isnt normal...i go for surgery in a week or so...How much is the doctor bill going to be?
Answer: Yes you do have to pay for the OR the Anesthesia and any other costs that come with it. There are a lot of nerves and vessels in your wrist so it is a fairly complex proceedure. My wife had one and we looked at having it removed and asked my dad a surgeon about it and he told us yes it was major and that back in the old days they would smash them with a bible breakign them up and let the body absorb them.....he was joking around about smashing it for free and we figured well we would have to wait until we could afford for my wife to have a few weeks off from work and it went away on its own so never needed surgery but yes it will be pricey and there is really no way around it.
Question: How will I know when my ovarian cyst ruptures as far as symtpoms? Ihave a 2cm ovarian cyst. Go back for a ultra sound in a few weeks to watch it. Its very painful and I am off work so I am wondering when I will know or what I will feel when it ruptures if at all.
Answer: Pain. Intense pelvic pain. When one of mine ruptured, I couldn't even move. Luckily it only lasts for about 30 minutes depending on the cyst. You'll know!
It felt like everything in that general area seized. My vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries and even my rectum. If you start feeling this, take some ibuprophen, sit and wait for the pain to subside. I had some nausea as well. My nurse told me she's had women who have had to pull off the highway because it was so intense. I don't want to scare you, but just prepare you.
Another thing - it's a good idea to inform your doctor after you think it's ruptured, they'll want to get you in for an ultrasound.
Question: What are the effects of have a cyst on a testicle, besides cancer? I am very concerned for my boyfriend who has a cyst on one of his testicles. We don't know for sure if that's what it is, but we looked it up in a medical book and that's what it concluded. The only sypmtoms he has is that one of his testicles is larger than the other, and it hurts worse to be hit in that particlar testicle. What should we do? He really doesn't want to see a doctor.
Answer: He needs to see his doctor. Already you expressed enough anxiety about this. The only way to know for sure what is going on and if concern is needed is: SEE HIS DOCTOR.
Other wise you both are gambling, when this is something you should NOT gamble with at all.
It could be something as simple as a cyst w/sperm in it. Easily cared for - or it could be something far more serious ... See? Only his doctor is going to be able to give him the answer he NEEDS - Guessing games are not good and that is all you both are doing now: GUESSING ...
Question: Is there any relation to drinking or smoking and having an ovarian cyst? I have recently been diagnosed with an ovarian cyst and I want to know whether smoking or drinking now will make the cyst worse. The doctors want to wait a few months to monitor the cyst before they take any action. I want to do whatever I can health wise to help the cyst go away. As of right now the cyst is 2 inches in diameter and is causing some stomach cramps. Also will any changes in my diet help my cyst as well?
Answer: Anything you can do to be more healthier will improve your body. Take vitamins, quit smoking/drinking, exercise, eat healthy, etc.
Question: What was getting a vasectomy or removal of a sebaceous cyst like? Im getting a cyst removed on my scrotum on monday. The procedure seems fairly similar to a vasectomy, they just make a small incision and remove the cyst and stitch it up. My problem is that I have a guitar lesson scheduled the same day. I was wondering if you think that I will be able to attend or should I cancel it?
Answer: I had a vasectomy. I drove myself home, and sat on my butt for two days. That is all you will want to do. If you do much of anything else you will get an infection.
