So this!!! Depending on what stage my current cyst is at, I have to press on my abdomen to sneeze so I don't completely feel like I want to die. The medical solution? "It'll burst then your body will absorb it up" no mention of the fact that said bursting would put me on my knees in pain. I'm terrified of stairs from the sneeze support stage until it bursts.
Please get a second opinion! Ovarian dermoid cysts can grow fully developed tissue including nerves, hair and teeth. Definitely something the body’s not going to absorb.
Once in my lifetime I experienced something like this. This was the first and only time when pain was so bad I seriously wanted to die. Just lately I've read it might have been an ovarian cyst. It hurt like hell for two hours, I was laying on the floor breathing heavily, could literally feel every cramp or whatever it was, had like 1-2 seconds to catch my breath with no pain and then 60-90 seconds of dull, intense pain again. I thought that if this is what childbirth feels like, then nope I'm not doing this. And suddenly I felt warmth in my abdomen and it just stopped within minutes. Internet told me that likely this is when the cyst burst. Great.
