I am very fustrated, long story short, last Oct. i had my son, in the hospital i was in alot of pain after, which i thought was b/c of this being my fourth baby. i Dec. i had a tubal and the doc told me i had a very large cyst that he popped or drained. well at my follow up i was still having pains, bearable, but still there, he played it off. well i still have it only on the left side, so i went to my normal doc and she ran test and a cat scan said i had cyst on the l. ovary agin. she told me she thought i had PCOS b/c of the cyst and high insulin levels.i am getting no where with these people. i still have pain and feel every month like i am ovulating but i cant since im on the pill. i get horrible back pains now and my periods are messed up, but no one will help. any ideas, please!
sorry this turned so long

Have they said anything about simply removing the ovary? I say that only because you already have 4 kids and have had this for awhile. Should you decide to have more children, the right ovary can still ovulate. I had my last baby with one ovary.

I had my left ovary removed and things were alot better. I didnt deal with cysts for a long time. Good luck to you

Nothing about removal, and this pain is fairly new(1yr).
the obgyn just says" oh it must be small now cauz i cant feel it and kinda laughs" well its bothering me so lets do something! adn with the messed up period he plays that off too, until i started to cry, then he switched my pill adn said that Ablation could be an option w/ the bleeding, but not with the left ovaary pain.
