682122 tn?1233186551 Ovarian cysts are mostly benign, but there are riskier in older women. From what I have been told, in the case of older women, they might remove the whole ovary to avoid regrowth of the cyst. If discovered to be cancerous, they will remove both oavaries and fallopian tubes. It also depends on what type of cyst you have. Were you told? Talk to your doctor about how he/she plans on approaching this. Good luck!
Avatar f tn suggested you do ? Ovarian Cysts and ovarian cancer can cause many similar symptoms. There is absolutely no way to tell for certain unless and until surgery is performed and the path results come back. Having said that, cysts are very very common and 95% benign. The best course of action is to speak with your physician to see what his recommended course of action is. They may possibly suggest removal, but sometimes, they prefer to wait awhile to see if they resolve themselves.

600006 tn?1219851570 the utrasound came back showing that I did have some ovarian cysts. The Doctor told me that the cysts were normal and to not worry about anything unless I have pain. Now I know ovarian cysts are normal and that when you have your menstral cycle it washes them out, so I am not so much worried about having them, I am more concerned about the Doctor being an idiot... There has to be some kind of reason that I have not started my period.
Avatar f tn Some of your symptoms could be caused by ovarian cysts. Thankfully though MOST ovarian cysts are benign. If you do not have a family history or predisposition for ovarian cancer then your risk is LESS THAN 2%. I developed an ovarian cyst at age 49. My gynecologist rushed me into surgery and should have removed just the cyst (cystectomy) since my frozen section came back benign. Instead, he removed all of my sex organs.
Avatar m tn They should work you in sooner given your symptoms. Some types of cysts can grow more rapidly than others and the risk of rupture increases as the size increases. Do you know if it is complex? What type of surgeon are you seeing? Any complex cyst over 5cm has a slight possibility of being malignant. If your find your mass is complex, you need to see a gynecologic oncologist prior to your surgery.

Avatar f tn did anyone see the news last night.a woman lost her life to ovarian cancer after Dr s told her she had IBS and she had been back and forth to DRs A&E 40 times and no one listened to her. also read of so many stories of people who have ovarian cysts which scans dont pick up and therefore |Drs ignore their symtpons. I am experiencing the same having been to my DR and A&E fro over a year with a huge swollen solid lumpy abdomen and painful ribs no one will listen to me or give any answers.
Avatar n tn Hi, I have a couple of questions about ovarian cyst symptoms. Do ovarian cysts cause mid cycle spotting and lower back pain? And if so how common are these symptoms?
Avatar f tn Do ovarian cyst symptoms and ovarian cancer symptoms look the same? I ask because I have the following: -gas -bloat/distended stomach -pressure -changes in BM's (constipation and diarrhea) -get full easily after eating -tired/fatigues -heartburn/indigestion -changes in menstruation Thank you.
1337047 tn?1275914064 t want to frighten you because there is no way to know for sure if you have ovarian cancer until you remove the tumor and biopsy it. But, the symptoms you are describing coupled with your high CA-125 are concerning. 1500 is a pretty high reading for CA-125. The risk of a malignant cyst is increased in postmenopausal women too. I can see you are in Canada and so I don't really know what to recommend as far as speeding up the medical process.
Avatar f tn what is the largest ovarian cysts reported and can it make you look pregnant... sassyk.
518121 tn?1211751734 Hi, am 45 years old married and no children, I was recently diagnosed with endometrosis ovarian cysts, and calcium deposit in my right kidney, I was having this symptoms since I was 15, like, pelvic pain, pain in my right side, I did IVF in 1997 and had my fellopian tubes open 5 years ago but did not get pregnant. How did doctors miss the endometriosis and cysts when they performed surgeries and IVF?
Avatar f tn Anyone else have any similar experience with ovarian cysts? What worries me even more is that I had a US last year and there were absolutely no cysts at all and now all of sudden a 3 cm cyst pops up out of nowhere.
256161 tn?1196879046 I know lyme causes all kinds of different cysts. I'm not sure about the ovarian cysts though as they are quite common in women in general. Flagyl is a cyst buster so if you have lyme you may feel the herx reaction.
Avatar n tn Did she take a sample of tissue to send to pathology? That is the only way to diagnose ovarian cancer. Most ovarian cysts are benign (non cancerous).
Avatar m tn The CA-125 test is not accurate in diagnosing ovarian cancer. If you do not have a predisposition for ovarian cancer then your lifetime risk is less than 2%. You said he didn't seem worried about the ovarian cysts. Is that because they were functional cysts which are part of the normal menstrual cycle? Those can sometimes hang around causing some symtpoms but almost always resolve within 2 cycles.
Avatar f tn I started having abdominal pain after a recent fall. I actually thought I had jarred mybladder loose. Anyway the doc ordered an ultrasound. As soon as it was done the tech said we are going to show this to the radiologist and be right back. After sometime she came back and said we found no damage around your bladder but you do have a cyst on your ovary that is almost twice the size of your ovary. She said the radiologist would be calling my doctor this am with this information.
Avatar m tn I have an extremely high ca-125 of 850. I have done an ultrasound and have two cysts located in my left ovary as well as a very large uterine fibroid. I have also suffered from endometriosis for the last ten years or so. I currently am 45 years old and have not reached menopause. Over the last few months I have experienced persisting pain in my uterus and heavy bleeding that have caused me to become anemic and lethargic.
Avatar f tn I am planning to get operated in a few weeks not knowing if they will remove just one ovary which is grown due to ovarian cysts, both and/or do a hysterectomy. I have had no symptoms (bleeding, bloating or irregular menstrual cycles) or have felt ill. I am searching for information on treatment plans and personal experiences. Thanks in advance for your help.
Avatar f tn How are they different from functional ovarian cysts? A little background I have kept small cysts on and off for year in May of this year I went in and had a small (1.7 cm) cyst on my right ovary and was told it was a normal, functional cyst. Also, my uterine lining was very thick almost double it's normal size (12 cm). So agaist my wishes I went on micronor which is the mini pill to help break down the lining.
Avatar n tn Over 95% are benign and there is lots of good information about types of cysts and symptoms on the health pages (top right). What is her doctor's plan? Please keep us posted.
1295419 tn?1276822872 Most cysts are benign (something like 90% or more) so that's the good news. The hard news to take is waiting to find out. I had a large cyst (10 cm) removed and it turned out benign. I didn't expect to have any cysts at my age (post menopausal) so that threw me for a loop. It's good that you're seeing a gyn/onc. It doesn't mean you have cancer but the gyn/onc is the best one to sort this out.
