ok, well i thought i was pregnant, but i dont know things dont click, im planning to go to the doctors, but i just need this as a reassurance
these are my symptoms can they be an ovarian cyst?
* my lower abdomen is swollen/hard
* i have some pains in my lower abdomen that get up to my belly button
* frequent urination
*my breast grew a little
* gained about 5 pounds
*I've been stressing so much about being pregnant,but it wouldnt make so much sense to me
I had a late period this month, it was shorter and lighter than usual, i had a urine test done at the docs office for pregnancy and it was negative, so what can this be?
Can anyone please help me? I need opinions is it a cyst?
Wow, you have to do a blood test and a ultra sound. Urine Test are not accurate. Go to the doctor again and request this. Good Luck.
Reply:if you dont think you are pregnant
you could possibly have a fibroid tumor,
they are non-malignant, but they do
cause severe pain, and frequent urination
you could also have a bladder infection

Is it normal for your hand to be numb after ganglion cyst surgery?
My hand didn't feel/get numb after this surgery. . . .
Reply:I think you should ask that doctor
Reply:I was numb and at first I thought the sugery didn't work. I had a second surgery for scar tissue removal after the cyst was removed. Took about a year to feel normal again.
GOOD LUCK!!!!
Reply:Call the office of the doctor who did the surgery. Call right away. It might be normal or it might be serious, but you need to find out for sure.
Reply:yes, mine was for atleast a week after surgery.

Reply:ooo I don't know, I'd worry any time something goes numb cause it's not getting enough blood to that area.
Reply:I think you should ask the doctor, but I think it is probably OK because you might have some nerve irritation from the surgery and will go away.
Reply:You must call the surgeon's office and ask if it's normal. There's nobody on here capable of taking your very prized hand in their "hands" to answer that question. Here's some sites about your surgery, but call your specialist immediately.
Great advice on this very complete site:

I dont want surgery but I have a 5cm ovarian simple cyst, any alternatives for it?
I have a 5cm simple cyst on my ovaries and it causes sharp pains from time to time. It has caused me to have 2 periods in 1 month and bleed heavily. MY Dr put me on birth control, does this shrink it or will it dissolve? What happens if it ruptures, do I just take a bunch of Advil and call my Dr the next morning? Anyone have this before?

I know of someone who had a simple cyst (I assume you are talking about a fluid filled type cyst) which ruptured. It was very painful and she was hospitalised but afterwards was okay again without surgery or other effects. The birth control may see the cyst reduce itself naturally although I would be worried about the pains you are getting. If it ruptures it is very painful. I have had a dermoid cyst rupture and it was extremely painful. No amount of advil did a thing to reduce the pain. A dermoid cyst is different though in that it won't reduce itself and has to be removed via surgery. If you get any severe pain I would not hesitate to call an ambulance.
Reply:Take your doctor's advice. I had one burst when I was 8 months pregnant, and thought I was going to die. And yes, the pill may indeed shrink the cyst, You may be able to find a doctor who will do a needle biopsy and just aspirate the thing, if its fluid filled. Look for one who does mastectomies and lumpectomies. They are the ones who do the needle biopsies and aspirations on breast cycts
Reply:They're quiet common. They usually go away in a month or two. If they don't, surgery is required and it's not bad.
Reply:You DO NOT want to experience this thing rupturing. You wanna talk about pain.... Advil will never even begin to phase what you will feel if it ruptures.

I need help...do you have an experience with a pilonidal cyst?
a week ago i had surgery to have a pilonidal cyst removed...its a pretty big hole....on wednesday i had to go back to the doctor b/c of excruciating pain..it ended up being infected and they gave me antibiotics....i know it will take a while to heal, but now its bleeding a lot...too much info, but i've soaked through several gauze pads today...i'm debating on whether to go to the emergency room tomorrow....
does anybody have any suggestions, experiences or stories about this? i'm not sure what is normal or not...thanks
I need help...do you have an experience with a pilonidal cyst?
get you **** to the er now!!!!!! you can lose too much blood for a simple surgey and can be in serious trouble! i have seen kids come in with a tonsilectomy bleed and end up in icu. you really should not be bleeding much, if at all, after a week...

How dangerous is it for my pig to have a large cyst renoved, she is 5 yrs. old?
my abby has a large cyst growing on the inside of her left hind leg and Im wondering if it is removed of how she will do. Im wondering if someone has been thru that?
How dangerous is it for my pig to have a large cyst renoved, she is 5 yrs. old?
I have asked my friend Chet, who is an expert on pig health, and he says the cyst can be removed by surgery.
Chet is a butchers apprentice and deals with pigs all the time. When he butchers them, it is just like surgery but they are already dead, he says.
He has butchered some with cysts the size of fists, so he ought to know. You cant eat the cyst, but the rest of the meat looks the same, cyst or no cyst, so who cares, right?
As for covering up the hole left by surgery, here is a top tip.
My pet vietnamese pot bellied pig, Gordon, suffered extensive burns after an accident with a barbeque.
Chet and I sewed on a skin graft of finest quality bacon.
Dont use the smoked bacon, unless you want to risk giving Chet smoking related illnesses later in life.
Before cutting the pig open, make sure he is tied down with a pillow in his mouth.
Make sure you do all this humanely, like I set out.
Reply:Why would you talk about your lady like that? Shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's the best way to get rid of a cyst on your dog's back...???

Put Peroxide on it, several times a day, but after the third day, stop using it, and see if that helps.
I'm surprised the Vet didn't prescribe Antibiotics for your pet!
Reply:I did some reading on Cyst, evidently Antibiotics aren't given, since Cyst are not an infection, but a growth, so your Vet was correct, and surgically removing them, is the only way to keep them from coming back. Thanks and I hope your dog is feeling better. Report It
Reply:Peroxide only lengthens the time of healing..it should really only be used when there's and infection, which a cyst is not, and to clean a wound, which a cyst is not.....so good luck with prolonging your dogs cyst! Report It
Reply:Diluted Hydrogen Peroxide is used to bleach human hair, hence the phrases peroxide blonde and bottle blonde. It whitens skeletons that are to be put on display. Hyd. Per. is used medically for cleaning wounds, removing dead tissue, or as an oral debriding agent. Report It
Reply:take him to the vet, they will remove it
Reply:Hmmm, you sure its the dogs back? Well, I had one on my backside and got anti-biotics so maybe a course will help your dog.
Reply:My doggie had one once and we wound up taking him back to the vet and having it drained. You might seek out a second opinion.
Also, you do want to get it removed if it doesn't go away over a period of time because they DO hurt your dog whether your dog acts like they're hurting him or not. Any human that has ever had a cyst can testify as to how painful they are.
Reply:DON"T do it yourself.
my dog has them too and as annoying as they can be to touch/look at, i have to just let them be....as she has gotten older she has developed a few more.....they're not going away. as long as they don't get worse or start to bleed or become infected theres really nothing you can do. technically you CAN get them removed, but why spend hundreds of dollars, when they aren't hurting your dog.

Reply:relax, thingds should be fine
Reply:no it wont stop you from having kids. i had one. they come right before your period and then when your period comes on, they burst and go away. they will come and go. sometimes they disappear for years. just get your weight down if you are overweight. get plenty of exercise. being overweight can contribute to it but not always. becareful that you limit your fatty foods. your diet has a great deal to do with it.
