My 22 year old daughter has been diagnosed with crohns disease and has been readmitted to hospital with continual pain. she also has a 5cm ovarian cyst on the opposite side which for now the doctors have left alone, however, I have just been watching 60 minutes on tv about a lady who had ovarian cancer & was only half pie paying attention until i heard the symptoms that were the same as crohns!...She has had all the tests for crohns which are positive.what are the chances of the ongoing pain being symptomatic of the cyst?...mind you, as I write - I think the pain was on the opposite side to the cyst.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Ovarian cysts may be silent (be associated with no symptoms) or present with symptoms such as pain on the side of the cysts or in the lower abdomen, full sensation or pressure in the lower abdomen, irregular periods. Often the pain occurs if the cysts become infected, inflamed, burst or bleed. Ovarian cysts may be observed if there are no associated symptoms or removed if they are causing problems. Your daughters doctors may assess the size and nature of the cysts to see if it is contributing to her pain. I hope this helps
