I had a cyst surgically removed 2 years ago. It was actually quite a surprise. I had no idea that it was there. I got the news about the cyst in the spring of 2012.
After the surgery I did a lot of research on the subject. It turns out there is a small chance that ovarian cysts can cause weight gain. Cysts aren’t a huge threat to your health until they grow to be the size of a walnut. After that point, they’ll begin to cause weight gain by pushing on your body’s fat storage. But there is a tiny risk that the cyst itself can cause weight gain.
Ovarian cysts are a common benign condition which is often overlooked, but are often very hard to treat. In fact, the American Cancer Society says that over a three year period, ovarian cysts will cause an average of 1.7 pounds of body fat to be lost, causing your body to lose around 10% of its muscle mass. So, there is a small but real chance that ovarian cysts can cause weight gain if you get them.
If you have ovarian cysts and they do cause weight gain, then you should see a doctor to discuss options. This is a good time to get pregnant because pregnancy can cause a high BMI, which can cause the cysts to grow larger. For now though, you can just relax. There are always those girls who just want to eat cake and be fat.
Yes, it is possible to get a cyst and then gain weight again. If you have a cyst that’s been growing for six months, then it’s possible to gain it back again if you don’t get treatment. Of course this is only a small risk. The cysts are often benign, and are often found in the same place they were removed, which is usually the ovaries.
Unfortunately, I think a small risk is pretty much what you’re going to have to accept if you have ovarian cysts. But if you’re interested in learning if this sounds like something you can do, I recommend checking out this video. It covers a variety of different approaches to getting rid of the cysts, and what to do about weight gain the following year.
I am no expert on weight gain, but I have seen patients go from a weight of about 105 to a weight of 100 pounds in a very short period of time. So it seems like the only realistic way to avoid weight gain is to lose weight and get rid of the ovarian cysts.
One of the problems in losing weight and getting rid of ovarian cysts is the fact that they can return. This is why cysts may be a good thing, because they’re meant to be temporary. However, ovarian cysts can return, so if you have ovarian cysts and they come back, you’ll need to have them removed again (even though they can be removed on a cyst removal day, and not on an ovarian cyst removal day).
For example, a patient who has had ovarian cysts can have them removed again, but a patient who has had ovarian cysts for more than a year can’t be removed again. This is because ovarian cysts grow like an infection. If they grow too large, it can be impossible to remove them. They are very hard to remove, and they’re pretty stubborn.
Although I don’t have any experience with ovarian cysts, I have seen it firsthand. I had a cysts in my right ovary, and it was very painful for a long time. Then it got small and I couldn’t get it out. I had to have the cysts surgically removed.
