Dermoid Cyst.

I've been recently diagnosed with a dermoid cyst on my right ovary which is nearly 2cm. 

I have and still am dealing with alot of pain in my side and in my back. 
Has anyone else had this ??

Im now awaiting for an appt to see a gynecologist which is a long wait but I don't know how much longer I can deal with the pain. 

  • Hi Bexyb23,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing these difficulties, but it's good to hear you've had it checked out and that you have a referral.

    My reply here will boost your post, meaning a few more people should see it, so hopefully you'll get some more replies soon. You can also search the forum (using the button in the blue bar above) to find other relevant discussions on here.

    I hope it's not too long to wait for your appointment. If you have queries or are struggling with the pain in the meantime then do give your doctor a call.

    Wishing you all the best,

  • Hi, 

    Sorry I don't have any answers but just wanted to say thank you for posting- I've just had a 22mm cyst found on my left ovary and am experiencing pain in my side and back. I've posted a question about it recently to see if others had pain with a smaller cyst too, because I wasn't sure a smaller cyst could cause pain. 

    I hope the appt comes through soon for you.
