1) The paratubal cyst is unrelated to the ovarian cysts, and is something that you were probably born with but which enlarged at some point for reasons that we do not understand
2) Regarding your ovarian cysts, what was the pathology? If they were follicle or corpus luteum cysts, then these are what we call 'physiologic' cysts. Physiologic cysts develop in women every month as the egg matures and is released, and usually are not greater than 25 mm (about one inch) in diameter.
Do you know how large the cysts are in her uterus and ovary? Most doctors will want to remove ovarian cysts after they grow over 5 cm (about 2 inches) in size because if they burst it will hurt like crazy or the weight of one can cause the fallopian tube to twist.
They can't make any big decisions until they check it out more thoroughly. Some women are just prone to developing cysts and it's not always malignant. Let us know how things go for her and welcome to the community.
MOST ovarian cysts (even complex / suspicious looking ones) are benign and it seems ovarian cysts are more common after hysterectomy due to the histological changes to the ovaries (likely due to loss of blood flow and feedback loop with the uterus). If your gynecologist deems this cyst concerning based on the traits specified on the ultrasound, you will want to see a gynecologic oncologist.
I had 5 lg ovarian cysts that my dr. (OBGYN fertility) wanted to surgically remove from my uterus. I had a friend tell me about CASTER OIL as a remedy for naturally removing the cysts by using "cold pressed caster oil compresses". I tried this and it worked !!!- it actually removed all 5 of my cysts!! Now my doctor is upset with me. Saying it's not safe. Really and surgery is?? People have use caster oil since Before Christ. Why is this not safe?
Unless you have the BRCA mutation you have a 1.4 % of ovarian cancer in a life time. 98% of all ovarian cysts are benign. Most women have several benign ovarian cysts in a life time. Uterine cancer and ovarian are not related which is weird. It is good they are checking. It may all turn out to be benign endometriosis. In the old days if you were past child bearing years they would do a hysterectomy. Now they know how important ovaries are to a woman's over all health and do not take them.
I explained to her that I had the essure procedure done (she had no clue what I was talking about) but she mentioned that she could see pretty clearly a device or something on my uterus. Do you know how far in the uteturs the coils are suppose to be? I'm very concerned regarding having the coils misplaced in my uterus insted of being on my tubes.
Things do not necessarily spread between them. I had Ovarian cancer but nothing in my Uterus but normal fibroids which were not related or Cancerous. Many women have fibroids and many women have benign Ovarian cysts which resolve by themselves.In my case I got Cancer because I had the BRCA1 mutation in my genetics which is not common unless you have a lot of relatives with Ovarian, breast or Prostate Cancer before 50. I had many close relatives with these Cancers.
Ask for your scan report which will give you the sizes of the adrenal mass and ovarian cysts. An enlarged uterus often happens if you have fibroids. Hopefully, your doctor will be able to give you a action plan soon. One thing to note is that if you do have to have surgery because your cysts are suspicious for cancer, then you will want to consult a gynecological oncologist prior to surgery. This can make a big difference in your overall treatment and prognosis. Good luck to you!
There is a small risk of developing cysts that are benign in a remnant of ovarian tissue on the SAME side as the side that the ovary was removed. I suspect that having a dermoid in an ovarian remnant is really unusual.
Diagnostically, the evaluation of pelvic pain includes a pelvic exam and some kind of imaging study. If you still have a uterus, a trans-vaginal ultrasound is a good approach to look at the tissue of the uterus, tubes,and ovaries.
How large is the ovarian cyst? Ovarian cysts that are 5cm or greater, and are complex (like yours with a solid element) are usually treated with surgery. They have a greater chance of being malignant than smaller, simple cysts. Sometimes, doctors watch and wait smaller cysts and sometimes they choose to operate. Still, most cysts (even larger and complex ones) turn out to be benign.
suggest to undergo open surgery for removal of uterus ovaries has cysts. she told we will see it later. she told me to under go open surgery. another dr. suggested laprocopy. which one is good in long run and i want to know if i dont remove my ovary is there a possiblility of cancer in long run. i am confused pls help to get rid of this night mare.
1 cm. A few small subcentimeter left follicular ovarian cysts are identified. There is no longer evidence of previously described 2.0 cm complex left ovarian cyst.
The right ovary measures 3.8 x 2.0 x 4.0 cm and contains a thick walled complex right ovarian cyst measuring 3.4 x 1.4 x 4.0 cm. This was not noted on prior MRI examination. Clinical correlation and close follow-up is recommended.
Small amount of free fluid is noted within the cul-de-sac.
Impression:
Status post hysterectomy.
It says you have cysts on both ovaries. If you do not have the BRCA gene you have a 1.4% of ovarian cancer in a life time. 98% of ovarian cysts are benign. It is very rare to have cancerous cysts on both ovaries The left ovary cyst is smaller than your last ultrasound. I have no medical training. I would let my doctor explain it to me.
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.
I was in the ER last night after 2 months of feeling full and like I should burst with pain. I was told that I have bleeding cysts, no more than that but to see a GYN in the next couple of days. I do have an appt for the am. I have been looking and everything that explains my pain is linked to ovarian cancer. I have a history of cancer in the family.
Can these be cancer, how can they be sure just cysts? I little nervous!
They are saying you have a tipped uterus (very common), small fibroids (also very common and ignored unless get big and cause a lot of bleeding) in your uterus, the 2.6 cm possible dermoid cyst (this is small and can likely be removed via laporascope and over 95% are benign) and a small cyst on your left ovary which is something that happens every month as a byproduct of ovulation (normal). Do take a look at the health pages (top right) and the listing for types of cysts and symptoms.
