I've heard that having ovarian cysts can make your period extremely painful, anypne know if this is true or not?
reason is that I've just been diagnoosed as having one on my left ovary, and for the past however long my cramps leave me in much pain every month for a few days.

it largely depends on what type of cyst you have, but yes, many do cause painful periods.
i have a follicular cyst that swells up with fluid right before my period, so before my period it's extremely painful (and large), and then as i'm on my period, it's releasing fluid and also painful.
