How can you tell if its ovarian cancer or just a cyst?

I am having lots of pain on the right side of my abdomen along with pain that sometimes radiates into my lower back.

How can you tell if its ovarian cancer or just a cyst?
You need to see a doctor straight away. Sometimes appendicitis can feel like ovarian pain.





It could be almost anything, so you need to go have an ultrasound to check your ovaries.
Reply:Your Doctor would have to check you
Reply:It could be a number of things (other than your ovaries). You need to see a doctor.
Reply:The only way to find out for sure what it is and have it diagnosed properly, is by going to the doctors or gyn. They are the experts in situations like this. But having such pain in your abdomen is nothing to play around with. You should go to the doctors ASAP so you can find out whats going on. Once you know, you will then have a piece of mind and can finally put your mind at ease. However, women tend to get cyst in varies of places in their body.....so you dont wanna take that chance.


But please, go to the doctors/gyn. You want them to see whether its a cyst or ovarian cancer before it's too late.


Good Luck :-)
Reply:You can't. My girlfriend had the same problem for over a year. Her symptoms included:





***Extreme pain on her right side that radiated to the back





***Serious headaches and migraines that made her vomit





***Irregular bleeding. She would stay 6-8 weeks on a period with a week or two off then right back to the 6-8 week thing again.





***Mood swings. She was so frantic once she was going to get into her car and take a plane to a village in Tibet with a monk as her guide





***Her bowels were jacked up. She never had a solid crap. Always runny, or accompanied by stomach pain and cramping.





Haye, this is my best girlfriend, we talk about shyt like that girl!





When it was all said and done with (she had a partial hysterectomy approxinamtely 3 weeks ago) her right ovary was malfunctioning, causing the cysts to build up and were wrapped so tight around her fallopian tube that her bowls had started leaking into it and was poisoning her body. Later, the cysts were determined to be hemoglobin or cysts that carried blood.





Ask for an ultrasound will. Ask your doctor what other things may be causing the cysts.





Talk to your doctor, find out the facts and be vigilant about it. When cysts rupture completely they can cause cancer. The best thing right now is to identify and treat what is causing the pain on the right side of your body which may or may not be a cysts. Get an ultrasound.
