Common Questions and Answers about 2 ovarian cysts on one ovary
ovarian-cysts
i read on a medical web page not long after finding out that i myself have a hemmhoragic cyst on my left ovary that fertility drugs can help to cause ovarian cysts because most ovarian cysts are caused by the eggs not making it all the way out of the ovary or something of that sort and they just kind of pile up inside of the ovary and form a cyst. however, i did read that most ovarian cysts go away sometime during ovulation.
During my followup ultra sound it is discovered that now - not in addition to, have one functional cyst on my left ovary about 15 mm that depics blood tissue as well and one complex cyst on my right ovary that is 15 mm that is suspicous. The doctor has recommended that the ovary be removed. They did a CA125 and the value was 12. I have had issue with my bowels - always feel bloated and like I need to take laxitives. I eat small portions, no red meat and get plenty of fiber.
no periods since then and diagnosed menopausal in December of 2005. I have had constant cysts on my remaining ovary (as followed by an ultrsound every 4 months since october of 2005)/ My OBGYN says that they are nothing to worry about and none bigger than 2 to 3 cm. But always there. Now I have had 10 days of bleeding in the last month, it started out spotting, but then seemed to progress to a period with some clotting for several days then back to spotting.
Good afternoon. I just stumbled across this site after googling ‘ovarian cysts‘. I wondered if anyone out there has ever been in my (worrying) situation. I am 27 years old, a mummy to a beautiful 2 year old and 12 weeks pregnant with my second baby. I had an emergency scan around 6 weeks into this pregnancy due to pain on my right side. My GP feared an ectopic pregnancy. To my relief baby was fine. However, an 8cm side was found on my right ovary with a daughter cyst inside.
Two weeks ago I had my left ovary and tube removed because of a large hemorraghic cyst. The path report came back and said I had two cysts on the same ovary, one hemmoraghic and one endometrioma. The surgical notes said I had a lot of hemmoraghic adhesions attached to the bowel. Prior to surgery, my periods were horrible (I'm 51 and not yet menopausal). I was hoping for a reprieve now that I only have one ovary but wouldn't you know it, I am now having a painful period again.
I have had several operations for ovarian cysts removal. 12 years ago I had my right ovary removed because the cyst spread over the whole ovary, and 2 years ago it spread to the left ovary, and had that removed. Now the cyst on my left ovary has resurfaced. I am feeling alot of pain, and I have been to the doctor and was told to follow up on my cyst but I never did because of insurance reasons. But I have been having pains on my left side, like a burning and painful sensation.
I have 2 complex cysts on my left ovary measuring 2.5 cm. They have been there since 2013 and have doubled in size. I'm 50 years old and post menopausal and have been on hormone replacement therapy for several years. I wasn't aware of the cysts until last week. I had a CT done last week for gallbladder concerns andthe cysts were noted on the CT report and noted that they have increased in size for the CT I had done in 2013 for kidney stones.
One was the size of a grapefruit and twisted twice on its stalk on my left ovary and the other on my right ovary was the size of a softball. I went to the ER in pain and had them taken out a few days later. The Dr also said he removed parts of my ovaries but left some ovary tissue on both sides (more on the right than the left). He was really vague and will find out more info at my followup. My question is how is this going to affect me fertility. I do want more kids.
I have been having lower abdomen problems (burning constantly) for about a year. I have been seeing a Gastroenterologist and have numerous test done and have been diagnosed with GERD and Barretts Esophagus and IBS. I take medication and watch what I eat but nothing helps. I had a CT Scan for these problems and it showed a cystic mass on my ovary so I had to go to my Gyn and had a Pelvic Sonogram. I have read that sometimes Ovarian Cancer can have the same symptoms as these other problems.
The cyst was discovered while trying to determine the cause of abdominal pain that turned out to be a ruptured cyst on the right ovary. After reading a lot on the internet, it seems that removing it more common than watching and waiting, but I cannot find any discussion about removing the ovary in a perimenopausal woman. I understand that my right ovary would continue to function, but wonder if there is an underlying risk of which I am not aware.
Anyway, I was suppose to go in for surgery on August 10th 2016 to get the left ovary removed and the right one looked at and some biopsies but when I went on medical leave my place of employment immediately cancelled my insurance so I have had to go back to work and cancel my insurance and I am freaking out because this is my body not theirs and I am no further to an answer now as I was at my first appointment back in January 2016.
and yet, only one ovary. Is this ovary working extra because I only have the one... or should I really push my doctor for further testing? I am getting scared, I am so tired, in pain... I did have another transvaginal ultrasound in July 2009.. the "small cysts" that were on my left ovary before were still there and had grown about 1.5 cm.... not much... but what if they are still growing? What would you do?
The concern is if they get too large, they can cause the ovary to twist on itself (ovarian torsion) which can cause the ovary to die. However, you have the risk of losing the ovary with surgery too. Hopefully, your gynecologist or any other you would choose would have good cystectomy (cyst removal) skills so you would not have to lose your ovary since that can hinder fertility.
I've not heard of a radiation pill either. I've heard of radiation treatments where tiny radioactive pellets are inserted near the malignant area to treat that one spot. My father-in-law had that done for his prostate cancer. Less traumatic than full out surgery.
It would be unusual for her to have a problem with the remaining ovary. Usually, ovarian cysts pose no other issue once they have been removed. She should talk to her doctor to make sure there was not anything unusual about her cyst that could affect the other ovary. But, in general, she should be fine!
As the other poster said, larger ovarian cysts can cause urinary urgency. So can large uterine fibroids. Most cysts go away on their own within 2 or 3 cycles so I would not worry much unless your symptoms worsen especially if you start having pain which could be a sign of the cyst rupturing, leaking, or twisting the ovary. Since most cysts resolve on there own, there should not be any impact on fertility.
I HAVE A 3.4CM CYST ON MY RT OVARY . MY DR SAID IT IS A SIMPLE CYST. SHE IS GOING TO REMOVE THE OVARY. IS THIS NORMAL. I HAVE HAD MY PERIOD FOR 56 DAYS NOW AND AM HAVING ALOT OF CRAMPS. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING FOOD DOWN. MY STOOL COMES OUT LIKE RIBBON , AND I ABOUT PEE MYSELF TRYING TO GET TO THE BATHROOM. CAN ALL THIS BE FROM A SIMPLE CYST ?
In May/June the pain/discomfort came back. Had ultrasound and had 2 cysts. One 5cm, the other one 3 cm. The small one was complex with 10 compartments and the doctor didn't like it. Had the CA125 test and came back normal. Given my history of endo, he is encouraging me to have full hysto. Although he thinks the complex cyst is probably endo, he can't be sure and can't rule out cancer. A 2nd ultrasound 7 wks later after being on birth control relayed no changes.
The size of the cyst may necessitate the removal of your ovary but some surgeons with good cystectomy skills can remove large cysts without removing all ovarian tissue. That may be worth pursuing since you're so young. Removal of even one ovary can permanently disrupt ovarian hormone function impairing not only fertility but many aspects of health since ovarian hormones are essential to good health.
I hope surgery goes well! Please post with an update.
Ever since having surgery 5 months ago to remove a big cyst on my left ovary which had stuck my bladder and bowel down, they took my left ovary out, i had a cyst on the right which they pooped in surgery and left my rt ovary in which they were gonna take out but left,ever since my op i have been in really bad pain on my rt ovary i went for scan a month ago i had 2 cyst at 3cm each 1 which was a haemorrogic cyst and 1 a normal cyst,after more unbearable pain and collapsing all the time, i have 3
I'm sorry no one responded... I thought I had but evidently did not. Most ovarian cysts are benign (non-cancerous) and resolve on their own in about 3 months. If they don't resolve and you end up needing surgery, you shouldn't need to lose your ovary if the cysts are benign (as shown by frozen section) and you have a surgeon with good cystectomy (cyst removal) skills.
