Why am I gaining so much weight?

Question

I have an ovarian cyst on my right ovary...and I have been gaining weight! Some people say it's causing me to retain water...some people say it's because I can't digest sugars like I could without the cyst...Anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

Do you have one cyst or is it possible that you have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?  PCOS can cause weight gain, among other problems.  I have had an ovarian cyst for years and know others who have them also, but I'm not aware of one cyst being directly related to weight gain.  The ovaries don't have anything to do with digesting sugar, and it's doubtful that the cyst would cause you to retain so much fluid that you'd gain weight unless it was extremely large.
