Anyone had an Ovarian Cyst

I need to pee constantly and for a long time whenever I lie down I feel a heavy pressure on my pelvis. I am overweight but I am about 4 stone down from my heaviest weight but my stomach is still so big and there really is no difference to it. My stomach doesn’t feel hard though.

Can you feel a hard lump in your abdomen? It sounds like I felt when I had fibroids.

Yes I had a cyst measuring 6cm x 10cm. I needed to pee and could feel a heaviness.

Did your stomach feel hard/firm

You're booked in for a pelvic MRI, aren't you, OP? That should show what's going on.

I did have a huge ovarian cyst, and lots of little ones, but didn't feel any particular pressure or weight.

6 years ago I had an ovarian cyst that weighed 50lb and apart from a swollen stomach I had absolutely no symptoms at all (I just thought I was fat!)

I had an ovarian cyst.
Symptom I had was like a muscular pain in the abdomen, like you would get after doing a load of sit ups. Strange thing was I only got this at night in bed. It was so uncomfortable though, had to get out of bed and walk it off.
Haven't had it since I got tubes and ovaries removed.

I had this too! It was 22cm, took up so much room they found out about it when I was pregnant and they found my uterus was heart shaped (bicornuate) and explored a bit and found this monster …. Sadly the baby was lost so it was removed.
i have to say then only thing I felt was the feeling of fullness when I laid down on my stomach, told my brother (a medic) who said it was my stomach being full. I had a ‘feeling’ in my right hand side hip too which I realise now that it was the cyst because I have the same feeling now, 19 years later, and asked the sonographer who was investigating something else, to see if it was another cyst … yep! This is 6.5cm and they’re just watching it for now as I don’t want surgery
in short, I felt very little, but it man just be my physiology
