have had one 3.8cm one on my left ovary about 2 years now; I would not even know I had it had a not had irregular periods - some very heavy and long; I don't have any pain or symptoms from it or the newest one; I have not been regular for three years now; my sister is done with menopause at age 47 and has been for 2 years - I am 45; surgery has been suggested b/c now there's another cyst on right side. I do not want surgery - any rememdies to help cysts go away would be appreciated. I swear this is because I am peri-menopausal but docs won't agree. any input would be appreciated

i also have 1 cyst in each of my ovary's, i'm 42 and i've been having this pain off and on for 1 year. in sept 2008 the pain got real intence it lasted for 2 months, my specialist put me on the pill and i've been taking them since nov 2008. i had a really bad period just a few weeks ago it was really heavy and dark brown and red and i had it for 2 weeks with alot of pain, was taking tynole 3's and using a heating pad and taking alot of very hot bath's...i was wondering if it had broke...but i still get a little dull aching on the right side still and i have been having brown discharge all the time sometimes it stop's for a day or 2 then it starts up again...not sure why, my dr said if i could lose weight that my problem will go away...i'm over weight and christmas is not helping me out, but i'm planning on joining weight watchers in the new yr...i have to try something...i think really we are both premenopausal. i had no problem before i think because of our ages our bodies are slowly getting closer to that time when we will not have a period. hope your doing well!

i've also had cysts, but i got them when i was 14. im now 19. These things are very painful. I was actually in the emergency room about to go in to have my appendix taken out because the doctors couldn't figure out what it was. thankfully they figured it out in time. but i haven't had them checked in a couple of years. but i haven't had any pain either. i assume its all ok..any ideas on how or why i got them so young?
And to answer your question..eh, or not. i have no idea on how to make them go away. wish i knew. sorry i couldn't help. and goodluck!

ive had irregular periods for last few months , and found out it was down to cysts.

That is terrible, sorry and I hope you get better soon
