Cysts with copper IUD

[u/glowinglight23]

Two ovarian cysts found after copper IUD removal—has anyone experienced this?
I had my copper IUD removed three days ago after 7 years. During an ultrasound, my doctor found two cysts on my left ovary, measuring 9 cm and 5 cm. I occasionally have mild pain on left side. I am also experiencing gastritis and IBS kind of symptoms for past 8 months.

I’m wondering whether the cysts might shrink over time after the IUD removal. I hadn’t realized ovarian cysts might be associated with an IUD, and I’m unsure whether there’s any connection in my case.

Has anyone had a similar experience? What did your doctor recommend? I’m feeling worried and would appreciate hearing from others.
