Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn There is a regrowth pattern with ovaries it is called Ovarian Remmanet Syndrome May I suggest you to the forum for ovarian cysts there you will get the answers you need, there are other women there that have ORS any small piece of the ovary that is left after the surgery can regenerate the tissue and cysts can grow on them. This needs to be followed up because ovarian cancer can also be generated from these growths.
Avatar n tn Get thee to another gyno for a 2nd opinion. Every woman on here can tell you that those symptoms can definitely be due to ovarian cysts. The enlargement could be due to an internal cyst or another issue. Take a look at the health pages and you can see the lists of symptoms. Good luck. Please keep us updated and a pox on your gyno.
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.
Avatar f tn I don't have cysts on my ovaries...And I only have some symptoms that go hand and hand with PCOS. But my hormone levels are slightly knocked out of place. So that was the way I was given a diag of PCOS.
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.
3100626 tn?1341387176 IBS pain can often feel like gynecologic pain or ovarian cyst/fibroid pain so is often confused with these problems. However, if your recent ultrasound didn't find any ovarian cysts or problems with the ovaries or tubes, then your pain may be more related to the bowel than the ovaries. You still should continue to see your gynecologist to follow this and be sure. Furthermore, you should consider seeing a gastroenterologist as well as they are physicians that can help with bowels.
Avatar f tn I suffed from ovarian cysts since I was 14.. I'm 34 now and have just been diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome.. though I haven't had a cyst that has caused me pain or discomfort in years.. The best thing to help combat and minimize the occurrence and severity of an ovarian cyst I found was exercise!! The release of serotonin somehow helps.. but I've become an avid Zumba goer and not only did it keep the cysts at bay, but it's a lot of fun..
Avatar f tn Cysts are so very, very common in younger women. If you check the top right of this page at "Health Pages" you will see a lot of information about cysts. They many times, are just part of the cycle and will resolve themselves on their own. I don't know how they could be so sure it was a cyst without another ultrasound. She needs to make another appointment and have another ultrasound if she's in that much pain.Was that a transvaginal ultrasound?
Avatar f tn Marcy First off if you are worried about ovarian cancer it is extremely rare on both ovaries. If it were on both ovaries it would have spread more and be clear on the ultrasound that it was cancer. 98.6% of cysts are not cancer. A normal woman has a 1.4% chance of ovarian cancer in a life time. It is lower if you are younger. If you had the BRCA gene, women in your family with early ovarian cancer the chances are 20%. If your Gyn is doing a cystectomy that is great.
Avatar m tn If you are less than 50 it is way lower. 98%-99% of ovarian cysts are benign. They can cause the same symptoms as ovarian cancer. It is good they are checking it out because ovarian cancer gets missed a lot. The blood test the CA 125 has a lot of false positives so do not assume you have cancer from the test. You have good doctors. AS far as removing your ovaries. Keep them as long as you can. Women need them. I used to like my sex life. I am happily married.
Avatar m tn I am scheduled to talk to a Gynocologist/Oncologist soon. I am very concerned. I was diagnosed with Complex Ovarian Cysts. They said both ovaries have fluid & hard cysts on them. Both ovaries are 7cm (grown some from 6 week ultrasound). My Gynocolgist did a CA125 test - my number came back 1000. Anyone have similar experience?
Avatar f tn i think i have a cysts on my ovaries but also one inside my wall on the left side. it has popped before but it wont go away no matter how much fluid or blood comes out. it doesnt hurt often but i am becoming very scared. what should i do? i need a doctors advice i do not have one of my own, please help me... This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/452039'>I HAVE SIS IN MY OVARIES</a>.
Avatar f tn If you have these cysts on both ovaries, that is another indication that it is PCOS. Ovarian cancer does not typically present in both ovaries simultaneously.
Avatar f tn If you have PCOS, then you are likely to have the hallmark "string of beads" appearing cysts on your ovaries. These would not be cancerous cysts. Also, typically ovarian cancer does not present with cysts on BOTH ovaries. Birth control pills can be effective at keeping these cysts from forming or growing as well as regulating the cycle (especially important in women with PCOS who tend to skip periods due to lack of ovulations).
Avatar m tn So a CA125 I wish they had been with me. I had ovarian cysts on both ovaries and my doctor did not tell me for years. She figured it was PCOS. She did not do a CA 125. Several years later and being really sick I went into her partner who did an ultrasound. I was full of cancer. Things would be so different if they had caught it years earlier. I have the BRCA mutation which means I make cancer tumors. That I also did not find out until I had cancer.
Avatar n tn t have any info in your profile. How old are you? What symptoms are you having? What tests have you had? Sorry but we need more information in order to help you out here.
946578 tn?1258663287 t think you could feel ovarian cysts through your skin unless maybe they are very large, or the ovaries themselves are enlarged (?) What kind of doctors are you seeing, any specialists?
Avatar f tn Is it possible that the cancer has returned? Could it be Ovarian remnant Syndrome? The only symptoms I seem to have is mild pelvic discomfort (I sometimes feel that I am ovulating but I know I can't) and microscopic blood in my urine. Any help or advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
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 However after a radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer, the preserved ovaries are more likely to produce big ovarian cysts. This may be due to the altered blood supply to the ovaries after hysterectomy. Also when removing ovaries as a second surgery after hysterectomy, there is more scar tissue and more chance of a remnant syndrome. I agree with Neta. If you are not getting a satisfactory reccomendation, please get a second opinion. Also this surgery can be very complex.
Avatar n tn Polycystis Ovarian Syndrome was named for the appearance of the ovaries (which often are bumpy looking with lots of cysts on them), but it is certainly not the only symptom. It is important to understand that just because a woman have ovarian cysts doesn't mean she has PCOS. Blood work can help to diagnose PCOS. The cysts that appear with PCOS are a result of egg follicles not fully maturing or being released.
Avatar f tn 98% of ovarian cysts are non cancerous. It is rare to have cancerous cysts on both ovaries. If you do not have the BRCA mutation you have a 1.4% of ovarian cancer in a lifetime. You doctor is who you need to talk to. Write down questions to ask.
Avatar n tn t believe I am the community leader for this forum and forgot to point out that if you go up to the top and right under the titel of Ovarian Cysts Community is a blued ovarian cysts. If you click on this it gives you more detail and graphic pictures.
Avatar n tn I went to my primary who thought it was appendicitis on examination even though I mentioned a history of ovarian cysts in my mother, and my aunt died of cancer. The doctor sent me to the emergency room. I underwent a CT scan (which was "normal") and an ultrasound. (I never got the reports.) The ultrasound tech said that it was difficult to "see anything." She said that there was so much contrast from the CT that she could not see my ovaries.
