What Causes Constipation And Blood In Stool When Diagnosed With Ovarian Cysts?

I have four ovarian cysts since April. They have tripled in size, largest is 5.4 cm. I am having them removed next week. I have pain & nausea, but in the last see have had severe constipation with blood in stool despite using stool softeners, smooth move tea. Is this normal with cysts?

Hi,
Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here

an Ovarian Cyst can cause Pain when passing a stool ,Pressure on the bowels ,
Bloating, swelling, or heaviness in the abdomen ,Pressure on the rectum or bladder and these may lead to constipation
but blood in stool can not be caused by ovarian cyst itself , however severe constipation may lead to bleeding hemorrhoids inside your rectum and that leads to blood in stool

For this You should see a gastroenterologist , he will examine your rectal area thoroughly to rule out the exact cause of blood in stool ,and will treat it accordingly , in most cases life style changes and diet along with medicines can relieve the condition , this includes
increase fibers intake to avoid bloating and flatulence ,increase fluid intake, fruit and vegetables , exercise is also helpful

I hope it help
