Hello I saw many posts on health on here and didnt know if anyone could shed some light on my confused health issue!! - not sure if the right area to post so Im sorry if its in the wrong area.

I am 42, been on the mini pill for years, never had any issues until 4 months ago. I got a UTI, always getting cystitis so took antibiotics and was fine, until a month later. I started to get lower left stabbing pains on my adnexa/ovary area more so around the week before the time of the month but now its pretty much everyday. Its like a hot feeling, burning but sharp, its not horrific its just there....

I had an ultrasound which detected a 3.2cm simple cyst on the right ovary a month ago but then disappeared and another one formed this month 2.5cm thin walled water cyst a follicle one again I am told on the right. Then I was told I now have a 1.7cm thin walled water signal cyst, no components, no septation which they think on the left is a peritoneal inclusion cyst (complicated words I know).

When my gynae examined me internally he felt my ovaries and both (more so left) were really tender and sore, I was in pain the next day, after with this sharp stabbing feel again...

Anyone had anything like this before? My gynae said I may have mild endometriosis which I am really worried about but I have no other symptoms really apart from x3 days of cramping monthly but no period at all. Still feel fine and eating like a pig!!

Just a tad concerned....all started with the lovely UTI I had in March, blame something I know!! ;-)

Thank you for reading...xx

I had an ovarian cyst removed in years ago because of pain and bleeding, but it was the size of an small orange and benign, sorted the pain. Sounds like you are getting very good care.

I had two they notice whilst I was pregnant. They disappeared on there own.

This is the contraception topic.

You mentioned the minipill - did you ask your gynae if s/he thought that it was implicated as a possible cause? Have they recommended you stop taking it? And if so, does this rule out all hormone-based methods for the time being?

Hi Scaevola, yes he mentioned the coil for possible endo but my thoughts were, no thanks, I am just not really thinking thats the best way forward. I am thinking of changing to another pill in the meantime as mine is progesterone only, I've been on it for about 10 years now.

thank you for your comments
