ovarian cysts vs infertility

I've had a few ovarian cysts, on both ovaries, and I'm 19 weeks prego with our 2nd child, so no, ovarian cysts don't mean infertility. I wish you the best!!

Male factors causing infertility are varicocoele, ejaculatory disorders, radiation exposure and advanced age. Ovarian cysts like polycystic ovarian disease can cause infertility. For more queries and assistance it is advised to consult a gynecologist. You will need evaluation for above mentioned causes. Consult an infertility expert. I sincerely hope it helps. Best wishes and regards!

1) The paratubal cyst is unrelated to the ovarian cysts, and is something that you were probably born with but which enlarged at some point for reasons that we do not understand 2) Regarding your ovarian cysts, what was the pathology? If they were follicle or corpus luteum cysts, then these are what we call 'physiologic' cysts. Physiologic cysts develop in women every month as the egg matures and is released, and usually are not greater than 25 mm (about one inch) in diameter.

When I was seventeen, I had my first ovarian cyst rupture. More cysts formed and my doctor put me first on provera then on the pill to when I was 19 regulate my period and the cysts. I stayed mostly on the pill (Estrostep FE for the majority of the time) for the next ten years until I stopped taking it this February. Since then I have only had my period twice, once was normal and the other only came after another ovarian cyst rupture that sent me to the ER.

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.

s or earlier then you have less than a 2% ovarian cancer over a life time. 98% of ovarian cysts are benign cysts can be the size of grapefruits. I was surprised that an ultra sound could show ovarian cancer but it can. Mine showed cancer. I had an ultrasound on Thursday. The doctor called me Monday and told me I had a mass. I saw the Oncologist on the next day and was in surgery in three days. You probably all ready know this but it is good to go to a GYN/Oncologist.

I had 5 lg ovarian cysts that my dr. (OBGYN fertility) wanted to surgically remove from my uterus. I had a friend tell me about CASTER OIL as a remedy for naturally removing the cysts by using "cold pressed caster oil compresses". I tried this and it worked !!!- it actually removed all 5 of my cysts!! Now my doctor is upset with me. Saying it's not safe. Really and surgery is?? People have use caster oil since Before Christ. Why is this not safe?

Hi, am 45 years old married and no children, I was recently diagnosed with endometrosis ovarian cysts, and calcium deposit in my right kidney, I was having this symptoms since I was 15, like, pelvic pain, pain in my right side, I did IVF in 1997 and had my fellopian tubes open 5 years ago but did not get pregnant. How did doctors miss the endometriosis and cysts when they performed surgeries and IVF?

Polycystic ovaries can be misinterpreted as complex cysts. The reason for this is that the cysts in PCOS are a cluster of simple cysts that can give the appearance on imaging as one (larger) cyst with septations. However, most ovarian cysts, tumors and masses are benign / non-cancerous. Ovarian cancer is rare but, sadly, typically has a poor prognosis mainly because it isn't diagnosed early.

The ca-125 test is not accurate at diagnosing ovarian cancer. Benign conditions including benign ovarian cysts can cause an elevated result / false positive. Ovarian cancer is rare especially if you do not have a family history. Is there anyone in your family who has had ovarian cancer? Most ovarian cysts are benign / non-cancerous and resolve on their own, no intervention needed. However since yours is on the large side it may need to be surgically removed.

Of course if you had the hysterectomy, you would be able to avoid ovarian cysts, ovarian cancer, etc, but it is a huge decision to make. If your gyn can do something to help you, I would try that first if I was you. If your symptoms cause you a lot of problems you may end up with total or partial hysterectomy at some stage, but I think it would be best to hang on to your ovaries as long as possible. Is 2 month scans really necessary?

I had a transvaginal ultrasound done and my dr. is on vacation and the nurse gave me what the report said. I'm worrying myself sick not knowing the answers to these questions. The only details the nurse read to me from the ultrasound report was this: "Complex left ovarian mass vs. multiple contiguous cyst". My first question is, is there a difference between a mass and a cyst? Also, does the "vs." mean the radiologist wasn't sure if it was one or the other?

Heartburn is about 3-5 times a week with normal foods - this is fairly new in the last few months. There is more...but they are all symptoms of ovarian cysts and ovarian cancer. In January, I stayed home from work one day not feeling well and I watched Dr. Oz. There was a woman on there that had been treated for UTIs, Acid Reflux, IBS, and some of them repeatedly. But something about that spoke to me.

I recently heard about a treatment for cancerous cysts that involves laser removal but goes in vaginally vs. requiring surgery. I can't find any details online. Has anyone heard of this? Is it even possible?

"In" is worse for the survival prognosis of the ovary.

They can form anywhere in the body. Ovarian cysts (sists) form in or on the ovaries. The most common type of ovarian cyst is a functional cyst. Functional cysts often form during the menstrual cycle. The two types are: Follicle cysts. These cysts form when the sac doesn't break open to release the egg. Then the sac keeps growing. This type of cyst most often goes away in 1 to 3 months. Corpus luteum cysts. These cysts form if the sac doesn't dissolve.

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for about a year off and on with no luck. We have purchased box after box of those over the counter ovulation tests and still no luck. I talked to a few friends and family members about the problem and one thing that keeps popping up is the possibility of me having ovarian cysts, as my mother had them...but yet here I am, so evidently she wasn't infertile.

A smooth walled cyst with no solid components means it's probably fluid filled. It's size is about the size of a small lemon.Have you had a follow-up with your gyn to go over the test results? Cysts are very normal , especially in pre-menopausal women. Depending on it's type, size, your age, and other factors, your doctor could opt to do a " watchful waiting" over the course of a few menstrual cycles to see if it resolves on it's own.

Its actually 2 diff things, one causes symtoms ie weight gain, hair growth in unwanted place, spots and of course cysts infertility and lack of a proper monthly cycle, whereas polycystic ovaries without the sydrome do not give you symtoms.

Your doctor will discuss the plan for surgery using all your test results and the size of you cysts combined. The size of the cysts also determine if you will have a laparotomy as opposed to a lapraroscopy. If a cyst is large it's usually done by laparotomy because it can't fit through the smaller instruments used in belly button surgery. I know this is a lot to try to digest right now, but try to take it one day at a time and keep in mind that 95% of ovarian cysts are benign.
