Hysterectomy for cysts
Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy for cysts
hysterectomy
I have 2 cysts on an ovary and 2 fibroids. The doctor has talked to me about a myomectomy option vs. hysterectomy for the fibroid removal. I don't know which way to go on this. I'm concerned about the success rate of a myomectomy and don't want to go through a surgical procedure and then end up having to have a hysterectomy in the long run. Naturally, I also don't want to have a hysterectomy and end up with complications and am really afraid of menopause.
ovary or possibly doing a hysterectomy. Right now lots of questions and lots of research for me to do. I am 32, sorta young to go through menopause,but if it takes the pain away that I have, it might be what I choose.
Hello, my wife had a full hysterectomy approximately 10 years ago and everything was taken out, EVERYTHING. She had a few cysts and her gynecologist suggested a full hysterectomy due to the fact that the cysts could come back if she were to get a a half hysterectomy. Long story short, she's a strong woman who really keeps it together but she has recently expressed that she's been battling depression.
Cysts are very common so I would see a ob/gyn before you get yourself worked up over it. I had several cysts in my uterous before I had my hysterectomy.
I had my hysterectomy on August 22 of 2006, I was 36 years old, started having thyroid pains within eighteen months of surgery. Cysts in both breasts within 3 months of my hysterectomy and again a year later. Cysts on ovary, now I've been diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer (papillary) at 38. Could there be a connection between the Hysterectomy and Thyroid Cancer? No major problems before hysterectomy.
HI,
Even though you may not want any more children, you are too young for a hysterectomy. The bleeding can be stopped with help of haemostatic medicines and with use of hormones like progestins. Also a D&C may sometimes be necessary to stop the bleeding. The ovarian cysts need further evaluation regarding their size and nature. Many of the cysts in young women respond to birth control pills or regress spontaneously. Hence it would be best to consult a gynaecologist for an evaluation.
I've been prone to cysts for 5years which only got tested and discovered last year! I am almost always in AGONY and have tried everything from birth control to surgery but they always return! I honestly cannot cope anymore and my docs useless! Please help!!
What was exactly a full hysterectomy for you? Some doctors call a hysterectomy just removal of the uterus. For my full debulking hysterectomy I had my uterus, cervix, both ovaries, both fallopian tubes and full omentum apron and my appendix...
Did you have your ovaries removed? If you did you could have remnant ovarie tissue that has cysts.. you need to ask more questions... I hope you find the answers...
Did they explain why they took your cervix? My husband and I have been discussing the possibility of a hysterectomy for me and he mentioned that if I do need one that he hoped they'd take my cervix too. Since I don't have any large colon everything kind of moved around and found new homes. my uterus is dropped and my cervix hangs pretty low thereby causing him issues with sex.
Cirella, thank you so much for the response ....... My sister didn't tell me how big the cysts are -- and she really isn't telling me anything because she knows I've been stressed out over my own cancer (I'm Stage II melanoma since Aug 08), but she does tell somethings to our younger sister...... She has had stomach indigestion since August but she is prone to that when under stress and I"ve certainly been the source of that in the past 3 months since my diagnosis.....
in 2005 i had a full hysterectomy due to many many years of endo and cysts. in 2007 i had abdominal pain that i knew all to well. but i was shrugged off saying it was in my head. in feb. 2008 the pain came back again. i had ended up in ER and they did a MRI and siad my left ovary looks normal. after i got over the shock i told him he was wrong to look again.
I had grapefruit cluster of cysts removed just over a year ago and at that time I wanted a complete hysterectomy since surgery with me is risky - they needed 2 surgeons fo rme. Well, they didn't do it (just took the cysts, ovary and tube) because of all the adhesions I had and all my organs were glued together. They were afraid they'd hurt something else. It was at the time that I started suffering from that cyst that my Lupus started flaring.
m new to forum-after several sonograms and biopsy, dr today advised I should have full hysterectomy-scheduled for Monday. Findings on sonogram-complex cystic mass 3.8x2..2cms, several thick septations. Individual ovarian cysts w thick walls between them or even possibly a folded tubular structure such as hydrosalpinx. There is no free fliud in the cul-de-sac. Results of CA 125 were 6.5 but Dr still feels due to my age(59)and size of cysts there is a possiblity of cancer.
I am 44 years old. I had a hysterectomy 4 years ago for fibroids. I have a history of ruptured cysts. Since the surgery I've had issues with painful sex, bladder urgency, trouble emptying bladder and bowel issues. Over the last year I started having severe bloating, nausea, and lower back pain. I started to wonder if I was having trouble with cysts again. I got an ultrasound last week and learned I have a cyst on both ovaries. One is hemorrhagic.

I saw the gyn/onc on Tuesday and he did a 2nd tvu/s and discovered cysts on both ovaries. I am due for a follow-up us in 5 weeks to see if there are any changes or if they have resolved. He did not give me any sizes on the cysts, just let me see them on the u/s. The one on my rt. ovary is interior and fills over half the ovary. He also noted that the right ovary was much smaller than the left.
Hello - I'm 46 and just had a hysterectomy for bilaterial ovarian cysts. I actually had 3 cysts and all were benign. Remember 95% of all cysts are benign. Best wishes to your friend.
I had 2 large ovarian cysts removed last May along with a full hysterectomy. I had suffered from the time I can remember with Heavy periods and also bad cramps. I had endometriosis which destroyed my insides ...I am not aware that size matters regarding ovarian cysts..I would discuss your options with your doctor. I didnt want a hysterectomy..because of hormones, menopause etc... i was 40 at the time. I was told if there was cancer or anything susipicous I would need the hysterectomy.
Lo and behold she told me it could be caused from ovarian cysts and she agreed to do a total hysterectomy. She wanted to do a total hysterectomy. Any advice or similar stories and outcomes would be greatly appreciated.
