Not at all. Ovarian cysts, little sacs of fluid attached to the ovary, are totally harmless in most cases. Sometimes the cysts can cause a bit of pain and discomfort, but for the most part there are no side effects. Though the cysts usually disappear on their own, be sure to continue to get checkups with your doc to ensure that everything’s all right.

MOD! Okay, so I have a VERY high tolerance for pain. EX: I broke my arm and all I said or did was say "ow!" I walked up to the nurse and since I wasnt crying she figured I just hurt it and went the rest of the school day with broken arm. Well during the last soccer season I collapsed on the field in pain. I almost blacked out about 3 times. Once I got to the hospital a doctor kept asking me the same question and I answered him about ten times and apparently I wasnt even talking! I was in sop much pain I was delusional! The pain was by my appendix and the doctors and everyone else thought I had burst my appendix and I would need surgery. So the doc did a cat scan just to make sure and it wasnt my appendix. They actually had no idea what was wrong with me. They did some more tests and I had an ovarian cyst. In that paragraph above it says its harmless! Im very confused. Could it have been something else after all? P.S It only lasted about 3 hrs.

 

 

Hey girl. I would listen to your doc when it comes to this issue. At GL we are saying what is usually true, but we are not doctors.

Mod! I googled signs of ovarian cysts, and it says you'll have sharp and sudden pains in your lower abdomen. I've had that happening for a long time. Do I have one?




Hey girl, I'd talk to your mom just to be safe. Pain like that can be more than one thing so it's important a professional check you out.
