how severe is a cyst?
I am 16 years old female, and I wondering how severe is an ovarian cyst, and other information about it:
1)How severe is it or how severe can it possibly get (I heard it somewhat depends by age group)?
2)How do they detect it (A gyno), and how do they remove it?
3)Is the non-cancerous cysts potentially fatal or can cause illness?
4)What are the common symptoms of having one? How can you tell if you have it?
5)How long can you possibly go untreated?
I am asking these questions because I think I may have a cyst. I haven't had my period in nearly a year, so I am concerned, as well as my family and friends. I know it may be for other reasons but ever since I heard this may be the reason, I got pretty worried. So please give me very thorough answers. And links are OK with me, too, as long as they answer my questions.
Thanks for your time!

okay...i had surgery on my ovaries because of a cyst.
1- if you don't take out the cyst you can have cancer
2- well, they detected mine from a MRI and cat scan. what they did was put me in a hospital room with this big thing with a circle and they injected a needle in my arm to make me feel warm. before that, they had me drink this smoothie thing. it was NASTY! and i also had an ultrasound because my doctor thought i had a baby! even though i told him i didn't do it!
3- well, you dont know, until after the surgery.
4- common symptoms are when you feel pain near your ovaries. you can tell if you have one by feeling your belly. if you feel something hard. your most likely to have a cyst.
5- well, it depends. if you leave the cyst in there too long it will start to twist and you will feel pain.
if you have any more questions just e-mail me! i went through this at the age of 11. its really nothing
you can find my e-mail on my column.
dont get worried, you'll be fine.
all i have is 3 small scars on my belly button, and on two other sides.
they will probaly only have to remove one ovary. the good news about that is YOU CAN STIL HAVE CHILDREN...if you want
hoped i helped and please e-mail me if you have any more questions!
