This can be several things ranging from simple cramps, to constipation, to infection, to small bowel obstruction. History of abdominal surgery can increase the risk of problems later on such as adhesions. If your listed history of cysts are related to your ovaries or uterus it is also very possible you have had changes in the size or quality of them. The only way to know for sure is to have a proper evaluation which will likely include urine and blood tests, as well as imaging such as an xray, ultrasound, or CAT scan. If you are still having these symptoms (I understand the post is 4 days old) I would advise you to go to an emergency room.
