Although it’s not known for sure whether benign ovarian cysts or polycystic ovaries develop into ovarian cancer, the vast majority of ovarian cysts appear to be unrelated.
Women who have polycystic ovaries or ovarian cancer seldom have obvious symptoms early on. However, in both disorders, symptoms are noticed as the condition progresses. Because the ovaries are affected on both disorders, the some of the symptoms can be similar.
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.
Ovarian cysts can cause ovarian enlargement and the majority of ovarian cysts are benign. Did you have a scan to determine if you have visible cysts? Most cysts go away on their own. If this persists for you, you may want to talk to you doctor about the possibility of your having an underlying condition like PCOS or endometriosis. But, even with these conditions, the majority of women are still able to conceive.
t work follicle stimulating drugs like gonal-f or follistim (injections) can do the trick. If you have you U/S and you have numerous cysts ovarian drilling may also be an option. It is a laproscopic surgery that "pops" you cysts and helps release androgens (male hormones) and almost immediately returns hormones to normal.
i am on BC which the first month I started I did the ultrasound again about 2 months in and the cyst shrunk and changed from slightly complex to complex, then I recently had another (5months later) and that shows increase in size (only approx 3cm) but from a little under the 2cm on prior- but COMPLEX --- My mothers sister had ovarian cancer and no children...I have no children (37) but have been dealing with this for about 2-3 years ( i lost exact tract) I am also told I do have endo.
Hello,
There are specific types of ovarian cancer that are more often found in children and adolescents that are different from those found in older women. In children and young girls ovarian cancer usually presents as an ovarian mass and typically they only report pain if the ovary twists and its blood supply is cut off.
So, ovarian cancer in young people is overall uncommon, but definitely occurs. Your symptoms would be atypical.
s they usually just prescribe you birth control to regulate it. I have been in your same situation. Too bad for me it was PID instead of ovarian cysts, which if left untreated can cause scarring on your reproductive organs making it impossible to have children or possibly and ectopic pregnancy which can also lead to a mandatory hysterectomy and sometime even death. But hopefully in your case its just a cyst.
I know of many people who have had ovarian cysts and have head children..One friend had a few, they burst spontaneously, and she has a 3 year with another on the way......My best friend had a large ovarian cyst when we were in college and had to have the entire ovary removed, and she can still have children...It just makes your other ovary work double time! Lots of Luck!
Most likely yes. I've had several ovarian cysts before I had my children and I fell pregnant within 2 seconds with each one as well.
Ovarian cysts are extremely common - so do not worry. However, they can also be extremely painful and can grow extremely large. Each month, when a woman ovulates, small follicles form on the outer part of the ovary. These follicles look like little marbles almost through an ultrasound. Now, during your period - these follicles are, keyword here 'supposed' to break free with the lining of your period but for some women, they do not.
I had problems with ovarian cysts in my teens. My hormones were out of whack, my periods were unpredictable. My doctor put me on birth control pills for awhile to straighten things out but when I went off, the cysts came back.
I married, wanted kids but a new doctor told me because I was so thin, my body wasn't working quite right. I gained 10 lbs, monitored my temperature and eventually had 3 children.
So cysts and crazy periods does not necessarily mean you'll never have kids.
Hi I’m 22 and have two children . I have frequent big ovarian cysts I have had cystectomys 3 times in the past 3 years. They are extremely painful and I still have no answer as to why I get them so frequent and how can I help preventing them . I have tried many different birth controls and I went even with out. I have not had a period in a long time like a year not at all .
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.
I have had a lot of pain in my pelvis (dull ache) as well as constipation, spotting ALL the time, tender breasts and fatigue. I am 35, have 2 children (I am done in that department, thankfully)! I have NEVER had any "female" problems. I have always had regular periods, got pregnant easily and had realtively easy labor/delivery..........so all of this kinda freaks me out. Anyone out there going through something similar or have any insight for me? Thank you!!

AND NOTHING YET THATS WHY IT HAS CAME TO ME THAT I MAY NEVER HAVE CHILDREN.....I NEED SOME HELP PLEASE....
You want a transvaginal ultrasound and a CA-125 bloodtest to rule out ovarian cancer. I know nothing about ovarian cysts, but they are much more plentiful than ovarian cancers -- and almost always benign -- so try to "think positive."
If, after examination, your gynecologist suggests that surgery might be in order (even for cysts), please be sure you get a gynecological oncologist (who will have several years more training and is a specialist in gyn surgery) for the surgery.
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.
