If all your urine reports are normal, and if USG has shown no other issue than an ovarian cyst, considering all your symptoms, you could be suffering from what is commonly and incorrectly termed as urethral syndrome or its variants - the painful bladder syndrome or interstitial cystitis, especially if there is an associated increased frequency of urination. If you have any difficulty in voiding urine,(for example you need to strain to pass urine or pass incompletely with slow stream) we do recommend that you get a urethral calibration done to exclude a hitherto undetected urethral stenosis, i.e. narrowing of the canal which expels urine. You also might benefit from cystoscopy under general anaesthesia to exclude any other major problem. If both these are normal, you could benefit from 'bladder overdistension' or instillation of pain relief medication in your bladder.
