Ovarian Cyst Pain

Hi,

im new to this chat room and am just after someone / people to chat to really.

After a CT scan and Ultrasound scans for right abdominal pain they have found I have a Ovarian Cyst on the left ovary it's 5x4cm and although when initially found I had occasional pain on the left side that had been ongoing for about 2 weeks, and I now have a dull ache and sometimes sharper pain in the left  groin / pelvic area pretty much all the time. 

they have said they are "watching waiting" and I have   a scan in another 3 months time.

 But it seems odd to me that the pain has suddenly got worse / more consistent.. anyone else had this? Is it ok to take pain relieft and for how long can I keep doing this? 
 

Thanks 

  • Hello Wordy

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with an ongoing health problem at the moment. As the pain seems to have changed since you last saw a Dr it would seem sensible to make an appointment to see your GP. They will be best placed to advise you about pain relief and to arrange any other follow up if needed. 
    I hope things improve for you soon.

    Best wishes,
