I am 25 years old and need to go through another laparoscopic surgery for a 10cm regrow ovarian cyst. Although no doctor has ever told me to pay attention on what I eat, but i decided to quitting eat meats might contain steroid, like chicken wings. Since ovarian cysts are related to our hormone level. steroids is not good to us. This is just my way to prevent. Good luck!
It can also be treated surgically and this procedure is known as drilling. Other modes of treatment are laparoscopic surgery, laparotomy or surgery for complicated ovarian cysts.

I am post memopausal and due to the history of ovarian cancer in my family, I am planning an elective removal of both tubes and ovaries by laparoscopic surgery. The date that is available is within 13 days of our planned trip to Disney World. Am I allowing enough recovery time or should I reschedule my surgery. I cannot reschedule the vacation.
I posted about this on another site and I was told to see a gynecologic oncologist and not to trust an obgyn with doing a surgery. My obgyn told me I needed a laparoscopic cystectomy. He also did a CA-125 which came back 110 and my CEA was 5.0. My obgyn suspects endometriosis. Please help me. I am so nervous and scared!

Hello!
I'm 47 and recently had an ultrasound due to abnormal bleeding, really to check out/biopsy my endometrial lining, but they found a 6cm complex cyst on my left ovary. The blood test to detect ovarian cancer came back okay, but the doctor still recommended removing the cyst, and I agreed as I have been having some discomfort.
There is no way we can determine if your cysts are cancerous or not, although most ovarian cysts are benign. Have you had a blood test called a CA-125 done?
What has your doctor advised you to do and has he run any blood tests yet? A 5cm cyst is not that large but most doctors will remove a cyst that is 5 cms. or larger if they aren't a functional cyts that could resolve within a few menstrual cycles. A calcified cyst will not resolve itself as it has hardened.
1. What type of surgery: laparoscopic (small incisions) or laparotomy (open surgery). Laparoscopic surgery = about 1/3 the hospital stay and recovery period compared to laparotomy. Surgeons have compelling reasons for or against the different surgical options. Listen to them.
2. If laparotomy, vertical or horizontal incision? Again, there are different reasons for going with one or the other.

Hi,
Just browsing the internet and figured I'd put myself out there...
I had my first ovarian cyst at 18 or 19 years old and I'm now 22, almost 23 and have had multiples ovarian cysts since then. Just a week ago, I had a 9cm. cyst removed. This is taking such an emotional toll on me. I'm afraid this will affect my fertility and health. Also, OTC pain medications do not help at all unfortunately.
I have PCOS and a history of ovarian cysts. I also carry the genetic marker for ovarian cancer. My greatgrandmother had ovarian cancer at 36, my gma was 41, my great aunt was 43. My mother and her sisters all had hysterectomies in their early 30s. I have a bicarnate (sp?) uterus and it is partially attached to my bladder. This hasn't caused me issues except when I've had uterine fibroids when I was younger.
At this point I have scheduled surgery for April 1.
I had a ovarian cystectomy in 1986, total abdominal hysterectomy in 1994, bilateral salipingoophrectomy and ovarian cysts removed in 2005. This year I had a CAT scan for another medical issue and it was discovered that I had masses both right and left adenxal area. I went to the Cancer Institute of NJ for a consultation with a GYN/Oncologist. After numerous tests including MRI, Ultrasounds, CA-125 (negative) and I had lab work done which indicated I was premenopausal.
In most cases, ovarian cysts are benign, but larger cysts, complex cysts or ones that are causing pain may need to be removed. Often, they can do a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure with a shorter recovery time and very small incisions.
Good luck at your appointment next week! I know that waiting can be hard. I'll keep you my thoughts!
