Avatar f tn I am 45, have been experiencing all the relevant symptoms of ovarian cancer since June 2009. Went to ob/gyn, had tv/us and endometrial biopsy, both normal. My instinct is telling me things are not "normal". Family history includes hysterectomies for ALL females relative on my mother's side of the family. All were for endometrial/ovarian cancer or precancer.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn So I have looked up symptoms of ovarian cysts and one that caught my eye was weight gain. Has anyone ever gained weight because of cysts? I can not seem to lose any weight. I wonder if the cysts are causing this?
604168 tn?1222537786 Hi! Thank you for getting back to me so soon! I am 43 years old, have never had much trouble with my periods except for two years ago i had some irregular bleeding. They did the Ca 125 test and it was normal. I have had no other symptoms till recently went in for my annual physical and pap smear. All came back normal. I started having pain on my left side about 5 weeks ago. They first thought it could be kidneys because my back felt like it was on fire and pain was bad enough to go to the ER.
Avatar f tn 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. Is that true? Also, what is your interpertation of the following results from my ultrasound. Status: Post Hysterctomy & Left Oophorectomy (this was done in 2006 for problems with very heavy bleeding and cysts on my left ovary) Right ovary measures 5 by 8.
Avatar f tn I have ovarian remnants on both sides. Also, the right side has developed ovarian cysts which is causing a great deal of pain and abdominal bloating. My concern is that none of my doctors have spoken with me about ovarian cancer. Is this normal that they are not worried? I was diagnosed with cervical cancer three years ago and had a hysterectomy, two years later they had to take my ovaries. I am having a great deal of pain on my right side.
Avatar n tn I have a history of ovarian cysts as large as 10cm and have had 2 surgeries in the past with one surgery involving removal of my right ovary. After being infertile for 8 years, I did get preganant after that and had 2 children. For 8 years after, I have had no symptoms or pain. In May/June the pain/discomfort came back. Had ultrasound and had 2 cysts. One 5cm, the other one 3 cm. The small one was complex with 10 compartments and the doctor didn't like it.
Avatar f tn But keep in mind that ovarian cysts are a normal part of the menstrual cycle. Sometimes though they hang around longer than normal and, less rarely, they are problematic and need to be removed such as if they get too large or look suspicious. The small size, "unremarkable" characteristic, and lack of free fluid of these ovarian cysts would indicate that they should not need intervention. However, I agree with the other poster that it is odd that more information was not provided (e.
Avatar f tn Hi! I find often that women who have chronic pelvic pain are talked into believing that 1-2 cm cysts are causing their problems. These cysts are normal and are almost always present on every woman's ovaries. I hope this is not what your doctors are talking about too! Your problem is a difficult one--chronic pain in the pelvic area, and believe it or not, often results from some sort of major physical/psychological trauma that becomes worse and worse over time.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn There is a study that says there is about a 40% risk of ovarian failure after hysterectomy. Another study says that the risk of ovarian failure is greater if one ovary is removed at the time of hysterectomy. Intact women's ovaries produce hormones into her 80's for optimal health and well-being. Ovary removal or failure is associated with many increased health risks and symptoms that reduce quality of life.
Avatar f tn A CT scan can get a pretty detailed look at ovarian cysts so your doctor saying it is not cancer has a fairly high degree of accuracy. Some traits they use to gauge malignancy potential are thickness of the walls, number of septations, papillary projections, solid matter versus fluid, pelvic ascites. Of course, the tissue will still need to be biopsied to be sure. MOST ovarian cysts, including complex ones, are benign.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn as opposed to cysts only hurt during certain times of month? My gyno. says not to worry about my ovarian cyst on my remaining left ovary that she thinks is NOT a chocolate cyst, though the u/s tech (who has been a u/s tech for 15 yrs. and showed me the cyst and other funtional clear cysts-you could see the difference easily! and I have had a choc. cyst before that ruptured, needing emergency surgery-2 pints of blood ended up in my abdomen). The ER Dr. also concurred it is a choc.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Gyne did an U/S which showed a 5 cm septated cyst- and is concerned of ovarian cancer due to symptoms. I had a complex ovarian cyst on opposite ovary a year ago, but no symptoms. It resolved on its own within 5-6 months. I'm just worried. I have 2 little girls, and I am a worrier anyways. Any helpful info? They are going to do MRI and bloodwork, then I can either schedule to see a specialist for 2nd opinion/ more info, or have my R overt removed.

Avatar f tn lifetime risk of ovarian cancer (less than 2%). MOST ovarian cysts, even complex ones, are benign (non-cancerous). Occasionally, complex cysts will go away on their own. Once they get larger than about 7 cm or are very suspicious looking, surgery is warranted. There are a number of traits that they consider when determining the malignancy potential.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn Well first I am sorry to hear about the situation. However ovarian cysts are very common, they can get extremely large; some causing pain and some that are cause no problems. Most women have cysts and never even know it. The reason for the hysterectomy is due to the HIGH risk of female cancers the metastasize to the uterus, endometrium and cervix that then in turn can follow to the peritoneal cavitiy and so on and so forth.
Avatar n tn It is always a possibility. Breast and ovarian are related. Do you have cysts? They can cause problems and should be monitored. I wish so much there was an ovarian cancer test! Please be persistent with you gyn to find out why you're getting these pains. Best of luck.
1034241 tn?1252721169 My concerns are the fact that I have an ovarian cyst with no ovary. And that I am being tested for ovarian cancer. HOW CAN THESE THINGS HAPPEN after a Hysterectomy? ANY IDEAS LADIES?????????????? I am waiting.........
Avatar n tn i had a mri for hip pain and it came back with ovarian cysts and bone cysts is there a connection?
Avatar f tn I had a 3.7X0.5 cm ovarian cyst a few months ago. I had a cystectomy done. Tests came back negative for malignant cells. I felt great after the surgery. No discomfort until recently. I am having a dull ache on the same side (left) lower abdominal and thigh. Could these cysts reoccur and this quickly?
