anyone have experience w/ovarian cysts?

[Cynthia86]

I had an ultrasound today and it showed a cyst. I am currently on the last day of my period and moments ago I had some cramping then suddenly passed a large clot. Clots are normal for me but never this much. Could it have been the cyst? I plan on asking my doc during my next appointment but until then I would love your input! Thanks-

Hi
I have had cysts plenty times, simple and non simple.
Some times they have just gone themselves.
Other times the pain from them bursting has resulted in A+E trips n being away with the fairies having drips and morphine injections and all that jazz
It perfectly normal to get them, most women would have some if they had an ultrasound apparently.
As for the clot, it a new one on me. Think sometimes if it a non simple cyst then it can contain blood, n all kinds even teeth material so could make sense that you could pass something out from it. I personally never have.
Best to check it out with doc but sure it nowt to worry about xx
Oh n on my last scan everything was clear and normal so dont panic prob no damage done but always best to seek qualified opinion x

most cysts come and go, but some have to be surgically removed. your FS will tell you if your cyst needs to be removed. I was recently diagnosed with such a cyst, I had a laparoscopy on monday but when they got there they discovered that the cyst was too small to be removed. i am not worried

As for clots, to be honest I find it difficult to imagine how the cyst can be passed as a clot? clots/periods come from inside the uterus while cysts are located on your ovaries which is outside your uterus. Cysts sometimes get dissolved within your abdomen but I do not think this is something you will notice.
