How would I know whether or not I had an ovarian cyst? Been having lower abdo pain on right side.?
Hi, You are doing the right thing going for a scan, they will detect one if that's whats wrong with you. I had pain on the left hand side of my abdomen low down. Mine was only found late, it was big when the doctor found it. By the time i was operated on it was the size of a grapefruit and had ruptured but i didn't know it was bleeding. It was full of bone and hair (don't know how that lot got there) i had a full hysterectomy because i was older, and had children, but my friend had hers removed because she is only 30 and wanted children she had her op last Feb and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in March of this year....Hope you are sorted soon, dont worry if it is a cyst you will be fine. Good Luck, keep us posted.
Reply:Ask for an ultrasound, that is how ovarian cysts are detected. Good luck
Reply:Only a scan could confirm or disprove the diagnosis, this is of course why one has been ordered!
Reply:My mom went into the hospital because she had an asthma attack, and they did a cat scan to see if her lungs were clear, and they saw huge cyst. They they did surgery to remove it, thinking it was ovarian cancer, but it turned out to be just a tumor, no cancer. She had it for like four years, and her belly got really big, and felt really really hard, it looked like she was nine months pregnant, and she couldn't go to the bathroom cause the tumor was cutting some tube thing off. She also had a lot of pain in her belly, and could feel something hard inside.





So basically what I'm saying is if you can feel something inside, you have pains, you can't go to the bathroom, or your belly gets really big, and hard, there's a good chance you do. But I highly recommend that you do get tests done, and find out for sure. All the doctors thought she had cancer. We were so lucky she didn't. The reason it got so bad was because she wouldn't go to the doctor. She thought it was just constipation, but it wasn't, and it could have very easily turned into cancer. I don't know why you are feeling dizzy, and weak though. So go to the doctor.





I'm not trying to scare you with the story, I'm just trying to help!!!





I hope you don't have cancer, or a cyst. Good Luck!!!!!!
