Ovarian Cysts?
Hi all. I’m kinda ignorant on this subject so forgive me.
I’d love for anyone with experience or knowledge to share their experience and let me know if it sounds similar to mine.
I(22F) will admit right off the bat, I am a little health anxious so I tend to often assume the worst when it comes to my health. And yes I know I won’t take medical advice from Reddit, I plan to go to the doctor at some point.
Anyways. I have some history of ovarian cysts in my family. Recently I’ve been occasionally having some of the worst pain I’ve almost ever experienced.
I’m not great at describing but it’s definitely cramp like, but it’s sharper than I’ve ever felt, very very low on my torso so basically my ovaries I suppose lol.
I’m in my luteal phase right now and typically don’t start cramping til very close to my period. But this is beyond cramping. It’s kinda intermittent, or it will be excruciating for a few seconds/minutes, the just be mild.
I of course googled other symptoms I have a few of them but I can possibly blame them on my job cause I’m a flight attendant, so things like bloating or inconsistent urinary or bowel changes aren’t that surprising.
Also part of me has been paranoid abt ectopic pregnancy cause it’s my biggest fear n I’m not of birth control but that may not be here nor there idk.
N now I’m scared of that.
So anyways,
TLDR: anyone who’s experienced ovarian cysts, what were symptoms you experienced?
