I just finished an exam at my gyno. Six months ago, I got a class 2 result on my pap smear (class 1 and 2 being normal range and from. Class 3 malignancy). I just did another pap smear today and will get the results next week.

I also have an ovarian cyst on my right ovary. My boyfriend and I had sex on Sunday. I was on top and I had no problems. When we switched positions, I started getting a bad cramping pain and my right side started to hurt. We had to stop because it got uncomfortable. Then I was in too much pain to get up, but after 20 minutes the pain subsided and I felt fine. My right ovary area has been in dull pain since then.

She did an ultrasound and saw the ovary itself is swollen. With the additio. To the cyst. Cyst is walnut sized, she said. I'm also on the pill and she was curious as to how I have cysts when the pill sorta prevents them from growing. I figure it's my genes since my mom and grandmother had/have them. I had one 7 years ago and it burst.

Can anyone give advice or suggestions as to why cysts are growing when I'm on the pill? Is that normal? And can cysts cause the ovary to swell when bothered? And has anyone had a class two result on their pap smear or having abnormal cells without malignancy?

Thank you VP!!

That terminology for pap results is a bit out of date I think, or in any case I'm not familiar with it...but from what I googled really quick, class II is similar to ASCUS. Which is VERY commonly caused by something other than truly abnormal cells.

Even if you do have abnormal cells, chances are hugely huge that they are precancerous rather than cancerous, which means that either your body can heal them on it's own, OR that you'll need to get them removed in a relatively minor procedure. Either way, no big deal.

Does that answer your question? My brain is a big squidgity tonight for some reason, and I'm not totally sure.

all i'm going to say is PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep up on the paps since you had an abnormal one, until you're told not to worry about it any longer. not 3 weeks ago we lost my SIL because she wouldnt take the results from two oncologists seriously and have a hysterectomy. in fact, she stopped seeing a gyno altogether because she didnt want the treatment for the cervical cancer. now, she DID take 12 years to die from it, but it wasnt nice. i wouldnt wish it on anyone's family.

the cysts...yes, anything can get them riled up and make the ovary swell and cause owwies. i have one grumbling at me from my right ovary right now, too. *some* people have their cysts under control on the pill. some people dont. everyone's body is different. :)
