My first ovarian cyst
I am 21 and just experienced my first ovarian cyst. I'm terrified that this is going to be something I have to deal with regularly. How do those who do go through this pain regularly or every period manage it? It's terrible and I truly have never been in so much pain. My dr said that the cyst is shrinking and I have a healthy blood flow to my ovaries. I'm just scared for when it ruptures. Does anyone have any advice on managing the pain or any way to avoid it coming back? Also I hear coffee/ caffeine makes it worse and does not help it. Is that true?
