HI.
When you are a diagnosed case of an ovarian cyst, this becomes the most probable reason in spite of the fact that you have pain in the right side of the abdomen and the ovarian cyst is on the left ovary.
Other reasons of pain in right side like appendicitis, colitis , typhlitis, lymph node mass, salpingitis and ovarian problem can be diagnosed on ultrasonography and be confirmed with CT scan.
Once the probable diagnosis is made you can go for a diagnostic Laparoscopy and undergo definite surgery if need be,
You can ask for the tumor marker tests since you have a history of cancer in the family.
