I Am Getting An Ovarian Wedge Resection On Both Ovaries In A Few Days. Has Anyone Had Experience With This Surgery?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

My doctor recommend a laparoscopic ovarian wedge resection on both ovaries. As well as looking for and possibly excising endometriosis. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2017 but have had symptoms since my first period at 10 years old. So, this has been a loooooooong journey for me. I am 26 now and finally feel like I am being listened to by my doctor about the pain, discomfort, and overall poor quality of life.

Does Anyone Else Feels Like Their Ovaries Hurt?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I always get a sharp cramp in my right ovary when I ovulate that lasts at least two days.

I was diagnosed with PCOS last year and told I have multiple cysts on my right ovary. Also I haven’t got my period this month but I feel like I felt the ovulation cramps and then two weeks later I had period like cramps but still no period? I’m super stressed out… read more

Does Anyone Else Get Excruciating Pain In The Lower Area?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

Yesterday I went to the doctors about the pains I have in what I can only describe as my ovaries. I have had these pains for quite some time now and they come and go. A bit like period pains but without the period as I haven't had one since December. The doctor said that PCOS doesn't cause pain, but I disagree.. doctors know best tho right? Does anyone have this problem or is it something I should be worried about?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else experiences alot of ruptured cyst on the ovaries. I have pcos and was diagnosed in 2011. This year alone I have been in Hospital 4 time with cysts bursting and me passing out and I even had a 6cm cyst cut off my left ovary.

My sister has pcos but has never been through the pain of a cyst rupturing. Does anyone get these?

Thanks

IUD Induced PCOS?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I have had the Mirena IUD in place for about 7yrs. Before placement I never experienced ovarian cysts. About 2 yrs ago I was diagnosed with PCOS as all imaging tests within several years revealed an excessive amount of cysts on both ovaries along with other symptoms consistent with PCOS. I feel like it may not actually be true PCOS and the cysts are actually caused by the IUD itself. I am considering getting it removed to see how my body responds without it. Has anyone else experienced this or… read more
