Lower Back Pain, Constipation And Swollen Legs. Cysts In Ovaries. Any Treatment?
I am having lower back pain, constipation, swollen legs and my period was almost non existent last week. I have had a few ultrasounds that have found cysts on both ovaries. What can I do to relieve my symptoms and should I be more concerned? I've been told there's nothing I can really do, but I just don't believe that.
