I've had tons of ovarian cysts from 2cm to almost 6cm and I don't think size really matters. If there's something in your body that isn't normally supposed to be there, I'd say it can hurt no matter the size. Also I have read that ovarian cysts can twist which can be very painful no matter the size. I'm not sure if tests can pick up on this, though. There could be other contributing factors, as in my case adhesions and intestinal issues, but that does not mean your doctors should ignore the pain! Find someone who will listen and who cares! I know it's hard but it will make a huge difference. Good luck and keep us updated!

They can be hard to find, but worth it when you do!

>>>How big do ovarian cysts have to be before they are very painful? Mine are 2cm but doctors tell me thats not big enough to cause the amount of pain im in. Now the doctors are just ignoring my pain symptoms because I guess they are stumped about whats wrong. They offer to take out my uterus but I already have and that really makes them want to give up already. Sometimes i think they are terrified of a challenge.
