Effect of ovarian serous cyst adenoma on my cycle, fertility Posted: 07-28-07 04:53am
i had a large 23lb ovarian serous cyst
adenoma removed along with my left ocary
and fallopian tube when i was 22 weeks
pregnant. i am currently 40 weeks
pregnant. i am wondering what changes
might i notice once i get back into my
menstruation cycle. the doctors tell me i
probably had the cyst for over 5 years and
looking back, my cycles were very
irregular and long (38 days at times) , i
had heavy bleeding and painful cramping.
i began taking birth control pills to help
regulate my cycle and help with the other
problems. i was also tested a few times
for hypothyroidism because of other
symptoms i had and was found to have a
slightly underactive thyroid but nothing
enough to treat. i wonder now if those
symptoms, like hair loss, fatigue,
depression and other things like stomach
problems, could have been related to this
large cyst. i am just worried about the
effect on my cycle, fertility and overall
health once i have had the baby and my
body begins to return to it's normal
state

Ovarian tumors can cause cycle
irregularities only when hormonally
active. Hair loss can be due to excessive
production of male hormones. Depression
can be due to the birth control pills,
pregnancy or hypothyroidism. Stomach
(abdominal) problems can be due to the
tumor’s largeness. It seems that many
of your symptoms would be gone after tumor
removal and baby delivery.
