Ovarian cysts are like water blisters or fluid pockets or however you want to describe them. But when they break open, the fluid is irritating and sometimes it's associated with a little bleeding. That hurts too. The best way to handle these things if they occur regularly is to check certain hormone levels, thyroid, prolactin, testosterone. If they are OK, then use a birth control pill to suppress the formation of the cysts. In certain cases drilling little holes in the ovary with an electric needle can be effective under anesthesia of course. Ultimately ovaries can be and sometimes do get removed to fix problems like this. Just be sure that your doctor has the right diagnosis before giving him/her your consent to take your ovaries out. Get 2nd and third opinions...it will be well worth it.

Doug Krell MD BTW take Alleve for ovarian cyst pain.
