I have had FBD since my early teens, and now I am 18 and I have had two ovarian cysts(that I know of within the last 3 months) rupture. Is there any kind of relation between these two conditions? and could this effect my fertility?
I have fibrocystic breast disease and have had it since my early teens. I also have polycystic ovarian syndrome. My mother also has FBD and had a hysterectomy due to cysts so it also runs in families. The cycts on your ovaries could just be random cysts or it could be PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and many women who have PCOS suffer from fertility issues but there are treatments to help with these issues but you first need to see a specialist and be properly diagnosed and do it soon before damage is done.
yes they are related because both are affected by hormonal changes, your breast will not affect your fertility, however repeated assaults on the ovaries may or may not affect your fertility, if you are not seeing an ob/gyn you need to, the family doc may be knowledgeable but strongly recommend a specialist to get a handle on this!
