Wow! You and I are more alike than ever now. I'm 31 and I also was found to have a large Ovarian Cyst (about the size of a grapefruit) that was also attached to my ovary and fallopian tube. After taking the phen. and having bladder problems they sent me for an IVP and found the cyst. I had it removed at the end of May. I thought that having it removed would make my problems go away but I also have intense burning and urge to urinate 24/7. I had my cyst removed through laparscopy (3 small incisions). The cyst was also wrapped around my tube and the doctor had to cut deeply to remove it. Fortunately, she was able to save my ovary and tube and thinks everything will heal nicely. I will have a ultrasound next week to see. I pray they can save yours too so you won't have to worry about having kids on top of the bladder problems. I went through all of the emotions that you are since I do not have kids yet. I was hoping that you were doing better. This is a nightmare that I do not wish anyone else to suffer with. I hope people will take our posts into consideration. It may be a small percent that it effects in this way but if I would of known then what I know now I would never touched the pills . It is depressing and miserable. I too feel like this is going to be the rest of my life. I believe there is more than irritation too. Yours has not gone away in 4 months and mine has not in almost 6 months now. Not much happened at the urogynecologist except that I will have to go through a lot more diagnostic tests to try to find what is going on. I was catherized that day and now I feel really bad esp. with the burning. It's awful! If I broke my hip they could fix that but noone can seem to fix this and it is so frustrating! Please keep in touch and let me know if you have to have surgery. Please know that I am here if you need to talk. You will be in my thoughts.
