Anyone Ever Had a Cyst Half As Big As Their Ovary?
Posted: 03-15-06 16:47pm

I just got my reslts from a transvaginal ultrasound and it states that my left ovary is 3.6 cm and the largest cyst in it is 1.5 cm and my right ovary is 4.6 cm and the largest cysyt in that one is 1.2 cm big. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this and what might possibly be the treatment for these. I am trying to concieve and obviously I have pcos so I don't really know what to do or where to go from here. I have an appointment with my gyn tomorrow morning so I hope he can shed some light on this and help me to concieve and finish out my family.

My mother use to get many cyst on her ovaries. She always had them removed. She had trouble trying to concieve because of this and also because my father had low sperm count. But she has 2 children. I'd say have them removed obviously..

I Had a Huge Cyst & Huge Ovary!
Posted: 09-03-06 18:22pm

Hi crystal,
i'm 25 yrs old, female. Last month I had laproscopic surgery on my left ovary. My Dr. Was looking around inside of me & found a huge cyst about 10cm. Big. That was covering my uterus. Nobody knew I had the huge cyst, always thought my uterus was very big. My Dr. Told me I had to have surgery, he just had to open me up to remove the cyst.
On wednesday august 30, 2006, I had open surgery. My ob/gyn removed half of my left ovary. My ovary was very swollen & really big about 7.5 x 3.8 x 4.8 cm, I thought the whole ovary was going to be taken away, only half was taken. Also my left fallopian tube was removed.
I also have endometriosis, besides all of that other stuff. Every month with my periods they are irregular, heavy, lots of cramps. For me surgery was the only thing that could take care of the problem, before it got any worse.
Have you tried birth control pills to try & shrink you cyst?
I think that your Dr. Will probably want to do surgery, possibly to try & take care of your cysts. I had laproscopic surgery done last month, that's a tiny inscision under the belly button, when the cyst is found your Dr. Will make a couple of other tiny cuts, & try to either drain or remove the cyst.
You will be out with medication through an iv, the whole time. So you won't feel a thing. The recovery time is about 2 wks.
I'm just letting you know in case your Dr. Wants to do surgery. This way you won't be scared about it.
