Abdominal Pain as a symptom of PCOS?From: Del (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 3 Jan 2002 14:46:10 -0600 (CST)
I've read quite a few messages from women in this forum who experience some level of adominal pain. There seem to be many possiblities (endo, adhesions, gallbladder, pancrease, rupturing cysts, etc.) The strange thing is that with all the research I've done on PCOS, I've never seen admonimal pain listed as a symptom. Quite a few of the people in this forum experience excrutiating, unexplained pain at random intervals. It seems if it was that common, I'd see it listed with acne and male patterned baldness, neither of which seems as big of a deal as unremitting pain. Anyone out there know of research/studies looking at adominal pain? My daughter is 16 and was diagnosed with PCOS in September. We can live with most of the symptoms pretty easily, but she's been to the ER 3 times in the past year with uncontrollable pain. It is breaking my heart, there appears to be nothing we can do for her, except pain medication. She is unable to stand up, walk or breath deeply. The pain seems to appear in the area of her gallbladder, appendix or uterus, and sometimes feels like it is putting pressure on her bowel. It is stabbing in nature and lasts for about 2 days. The area affected is very painful to touch. They rulled out everything above, except for rupturing cysts, but from what I've read, most PCOS people have very small cysts, the doctor described my daughters as peals wrapped around her ovaries. There were no really large cysts. She is on birth control pills, but nothing else, since her insulin blood work came back okay. I've read one post that said someone was experiencing pain until they were put on glucophage and then the pains stopped, has anyone else experienced this? One ER docter said that cysts, even small ones, can release blood or other fulids that might irritate near-by organs or the peretinium (sorry for the spelling) and cause localized unexplained pain. Has anyone ever heard of this? I'd appreciate any ideas or help you might have. This is an awful way to be a 16 year old.
