Ovarian Cyst

Last Friday I went to my OBGYN for an ultrasound due to pelvic pain. It turns out I had a follicle ovarian cyst that ruptured. I am still in a lot of pain, but do seem to be improving a little bit each day. Has anyone ever had one rupture? Do you remember how long it took for your pain to go away? I'm still very tender and sore. Normal?

I have had two ovarian cysts rupture...that's why I went on BC when I was 17. Not had once since. For me the pain was excrutiating for an hour or so, then after it ruptured I was okay. Just exhausted for several days. I really didn't have any prolonged soreness...but I did take some painkillers for several days afterwards though... How long has your pain been going on? Hope you feel better soon!

I have had one also. The pain was intense for several hours, and then just soreness for a few days, as I remember. Also, the area was painful or tender to the touch. I was kind of worn out after.

I have had one rupture too and the pain was severe when it happened...stopped me in my tracks and then it was just sore for a few days after that. I do get them from time to time now, but have never had another one rupture. My gyn said some will go away without rupturing.

Hope you feel better soon!

HI, Yes, I've had many over the years rupture and boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy they can hurt. Usually with in 24 hours, things should start to get better or at least more tolerable. I"d take ibprofen for the next 24 to 48 hours for sure. I've also had two of them that I Had to go in for emergency surgery for. OUCH!

Do you have endometriosis too?

Yes. I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, so I've had a LOT of them rupture. My MD explained that the fluid inside the cysts is toxic to the peritoneum of the gut. Hence, when one ruptures, it caues a lot of inflammation throughout the abdomen. The biggest concern with that, is that it can cause peritonitis, the same condition you get when your appendix ruptures. Just keep check on it. If after 4-5 days, you don't have some significant relief, I would go back to your MD, just to be on the safe side. Good luck to you . . . . Lynne

Interesting! I didn't know that....

Thank you so much for writing back everyone! I think my cyst may have ruptured a week ago today and then I had the ultrasound the next day. My doctor said she could see fluid in the nearby tissues, so she knows it ruptured. I was in pain and very nauseous for the weekend and Monday. On Tuesday I started to feel better and since then I've been improving each day. Mostly I've been tired and tender. I just got my period after 60 days and I do have endometriosis, so I am guessing that some of my pain stems from that. My OBGYN doesnt' think I should be concerned and that my pain will subside.

Tiredofdoctors, thanks for sharing what your doctor told you about the fluid irritating the abdomen when a cyst pops. I didn't know it was similar to appendicitis. Have a good night.

I've been told that I've had "resolved" cysts over the years; now that I am near menopause I am told that when I get cyst (which I had two giant ones last year that still plague me) that as we get older our bodies don't deal with them as efficiently as and as quickly as they used to.

Thankfully, mine didn't burst, but the pain from just when they were enlarged (6 cm on left and 3 cm on right I was told) OUCH! I was in pain no matter what position I was in. They still bother me from time to time even though they've receded somewhat..

That's interesting too Deb… I hope and pray I may have "grown out" of my cysts. Guess I'll find out when I get off BC. My periods were pretty unbearable though--had to take painkillers. Which there was a 'natural' or diet alternative therapy for this problem....

You should feel better in about 4 or 5 days. I take birth-control (Mircette) to control these. I had surgery to remove one, but it came right back.

I think I just had one burst yesterday... OMG it hurt so freakin bad. I'm still really sore today and didn't know how I was going to make it through work today.

Nini, I hope you're feeling better soon. I've had this problemtoo and I think it must be related to endo, since I have talked with a few women with both also. Just be careful because it could very well be an appendix problem on the right side and the pain is the same. I also ran a fever with mine for a few days, so be very mindful of this. Drs. --I should qualify--male--drs, don't seem to show much concern over this. I would think the complications could be quite dangerous especially in a person whose health is already compromised by celiac. But who are we mere peons to question??!! Get well All! :)

this was on my left side and I do have endometriosis as well. I was dx'ed with polycystic ovaries and endo about 10 years ago... had the laser laparoscopy surgery and it helped for a while, but they said it would come back. I have an appt. with a new Dr. April 6th, so I'm trying to hold out til then.

well yes, the cysts stop when you stop ovulating in menopause. But during peri menopause Dr. told me is when body doesn't take care of the cysts on its own as it would do naturally.

For those of you with endometriosis, do you experience tenderness, fatigue, and nausea before and during your periods? If so, what helps you?

what generally helps me is a heating pad on my belly and a cup of hot peppermint tea with honey and some Tylenol and sleep! I usually need to rest with my feet up and the hot pack in order to get ANY relief.

Thanks, Nini. I'll try the heating pad idea. Are those pretty typical symptoms of endo? I'm still new to it. By the way, I hope you're feeling better.

thanks, I'm feeling a little better today. As far as I know they are pretty typical symptoms. My mom had it too and polycystic ovaries and fibroid tumors... she ended up having a hysterectomy at 48

      Thank you for this information and your post. I have tried just about every diet there is. I have been experimenting with diet for years and years. I am a vegan, so the diet you mentioned is not an option. Fasting always works for me. Probably because I am detoxing and not feeding candida or parasites. Meat eaters have a higher prevalence of parasites, just so you know. I have a feeling that every time I break out on probiotics it's due to some kind of war with my gut biome. I definitely need to find a system of flushing out my gut so that the probiotics don't have to fight as hard to populate.

      Sommersby cider, alcohol generally

      By bharal · Posted

      I'm unsure if sommersby cider is likely to have cross contamination issues, given its made by a beer company. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm assuming wine generally is ok, as it's bottled in a vineyard, but what about other (ostensiblygluten free) liquors?

      @BoiseNic Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  This Paleo diet cuts out most everything except meat, veggies and some fruits.  By cutting out all the carbohydrates, especially processed ones, the carbohydrate loving bacteria and fungi like Candida get starved out and die off.  After that, taking probiotics to help repopulate the gut is beneficial.  The new strains of bacteria don't have to fight the established unhealthy yeasts and bad bacteria which causes a rise in histamine levels which can make one feel sick.   Certain vitamins help keep bad bacteria and fungi at bay.  Thiamine is one.  Antibiotics can deplete Thiamine stores.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other vitamins and minerals needed for healthy skin and digestive tract.  Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, and Niacin B 3 are important to skin health.  Niacin is especially helpful in Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  I like the kind that flushes (Nicotinic Acid - not the same as nicotine in cigarettes).  The flushing gets less and less the longer it's taken, but Niacinamide which doesn't cause flushing can be taken instead.     Here's an interesting article.  Compare the bacteria mentioned in the article with your Skinesa and then with the Visbiome probiotics.   The Role of Probiotics in Skin Health and Related Gut–Skin Axis: A Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10385652/ Visbiome https://www.visbiome.com/collections/all/products/visbiome-capsules

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      The short answer is if it hurts, don't do it. Yogurt may help sooth your gut and repopulate it with benificial bacteria.  I prefer whole milk yogurt because it is not processed and the no fat yogurt is processed dehydrated milk powder with guar gums and water added to make it mouth feel like fat.  Especially in early healing there may be other foods you cannot tolerate for a while.

      I guess I would encourage you to abstain from the wine for a while. If you know something causes you pain then it is a good idea not to do it if you don't have to.
