Hello-
34 F , in the last year ,I’ve started experiencing excruciating pain- after a few ED admissions, and expected Appendicitis- it was decided I had a large cyst rupture - I have a decent pain threshold and it didn’t tickle- no follow up was required as informed - a few months later randomly woke in so much pain I couldn’t move or get up - legitimately- back to hospital - they said another cyst rupture- I've never had any history of reproductive issues in my ovaries etc - have 3 children 5-15 years.
Last month I went to the doctor complaining my left breast is just burning in pain it hurts constantly - a few weeks later as I write this it still hurts a lot - I can’t feel any lumps etc. GP said to come back in a few weeks if there was still pain- now the next appointment isn’t until August- we live very rural.
I’ve been seen mostly by male doctors struggling to find a female doctor and sort of being dismissed , the pain is very real it hurts so much - I don’t know why the sudden influx in cysts or health issues I’ve always been a healthy person.
Is this just a thing? Any advice ? Have others experienced this? Is it called something, how do I stop the cysts ?

Any discomfort in the breast is important to investigate. What you have described can be linked to Breast cancer. Demand a mammogram. Do a phone app if applicable. Ask for the referral to be emailed to you. Advocate for yourself. DEMAND IT.
Also sounds like you may have PCOS. the marina has helped me a great deal and covered by the PBS. A rupture can make you quite sick. I had one, suffered mugrains, abdominal pain, bleeding, and vomiting as I developed infections.
