Ovarian Cysts- Why??From: philomena (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 31 May 1999 00:58:39 -0500 (CDT)
Hi everyone, I've searched the net, this forum, etc. for info on the prevention of what is commonly called functional ovarian cysts. I've found info about LOTS of women suffering with pain, recurrent cysts, surgeries,etc, but nowhere do I find any answers as to why these cysts stop being functional and instead become very dysfunctional or what a women can do to prevent this dysfunction. Is this because medical science really doesn't know why the "good" cysts go "bad"? I am 39 and take no prescription medication. I have been aware of functional cysts since 1987 when one came real close to requiring surgery. My cysts do get large but have always gone down in 1 or 2 cycles and I've always been able to deal with the painful ovulation & menstruation that accompany these cysts. I've had a persistent cyst for the past 5 months & the pain it causes during my period & mid cycle is no longer tolerable or easily managed with non prescription drugs.I've even had hot flashes with this one. I had an ultrasound and was assured that this cyst is still considered functional and that all I can do is manage the pain and that because I smoke there is no other treatment for me. I was also assured that I was not experiencing a premature menopause.I am in excellent health otherwise and this "treatment" is unacceptable to me.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
