It is possible to have another child if the doctor thinks it is wise.\n\nI have worked in a clinic for women.  A lot of women have fibroids usually they give you heavier periods and rarely become cancerous.  \n\nI had an ovarian cyst myself but it disappeared after my son was born.   Sometimes they do that but a lot of times they require surgery.\n\nHere are some links\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/uterinefibroids.html\nhttp://www.4woman.gov/faq/ovarian_cysts.htm\n\nhttp://www.gynalternatives.com/fibroids.htm

I have a 5.5cm ovarian cyst on my left ovary.  I have had it most of my life.  I am asymptomatic.  That means that I have no pain and it doesn't affect my life in any way.  It can have an effect on fertility, so she if she wants to get pregnant, she might want to get checked out by an Infertility Specialist.  That's how I was able to get  pregnant and give birth to my son.

It is possible you have a Uterine Fibroid (s)?  I have suffered from them for many years myself.\n\nYou can find information on them at webmd.com\n\nYou'll find there are many options If this is what they find after the Ultrasound is done.\n\nYou age and hopes for raising a family will determine the best treatment for you to take.

I am sorry that you are in so much pain.  I understand what you are dealing with.  I had an ovarian cyst rupture about 2 years ago, it was terrible.  I thought I was going to die, it was worse than childbirth.  I found getting a massage in that area by my husband to made me feel better, as well as a hot bath, but that was more in my head than anything. The only thing you can do is take pain killers and try to rest.  The body will absorb the fluids.  \n\nAfter 5 days I might consider having the situation reevaluated, sometimes doctors miss something.  I was dealing with the situation for 3 days, and 2 of those days I was in the hospital. \n\nI hope you feel better.

This could be any number of things. It would be wise for you to see your doctor. Off hand, three things come to mind. You may have endometriosis. You could have an ovarian cyst or if you're pregnant (even in the very early stages) you could be experiencing signs of a possible miscarriage. \n\nQuestions you might want to ask yourself:\n\nAre you or could you be pregnant?\nWhen was your last pap smear?\nWhen was your last period?\nWas it a normal period?\nHow often do you have this pain?\nIs there anything that makes it better or worse?\nRegarding "female" cancers, what's your family history?\n\n\nDon't mess around with your health. See your doctor.

Most women have probably had an ovarian cyst at one time or another, but they don't know it. Many cysts develop and disappear on their own over the course of a couple of months. There are different kinds of cysts, and the kind you had will make a difference. I had a cyst that was the size of a golf ball and didn't know it until I had a CT scan for a kidney stone. A month after the scan (after dealing with the kidney stone), I saw my gynecologist and she sent me in for an ultrasound. The cyst was completely gone. She told me that standard practice used to be to do a biopsy when the cyst was as large as mine, but now they just monitor them, and deal with them if they cause pain, bleeding, or other symptoms. \n\nIt's good that you're going to see your doctor.

Not only do I work for a surgeon, but I've had a total vaginal hysterectomy; 6 years ago.\nRecovery was not bad.  Your doctor will prescribe meds to control your pain.  My hospital stay was one day and a half.  Will you be keeping your ovaries or not?  I opted not to keep mine; I've had cysts that needed to be drained on them before, and ovulation and hormone fluctuation each month was a contributing factor with my IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).  I've been on HRT (hormone replacement therapy) since my surgery, since I was young when I had the initial procedure done.  I am 44 now.  I take Cenestin, it's a synthetic hormone.  Less side effects for me than the others.  \nHaving a hysterectomy was the best thing I ever did!  Now, every February, I celebrate my "free womanhood" day!  I honestly don't know how on earth I dealt with the whole horrible heavy bleeding, bloating, cramping, bitchiness thing for soooo long.  \nJust remember to follow doctors orders post-op; no heavy lifting for as long as he/she says.  Not much surgery to see on the outside, but major surgery on the inside!!!  You'll be back to yourself in no time at all.  In the meantime, relax and let others pamper you at home!

I am having the same problem. Only I have a small cyst on both ovaries.  I am having an internal ultra sound just to be sure. My doctor said this is quite normal and in most case they burst on their own and go away.  On occasion they do become larger but not in all cases.  This is when they have to be removed or have the ovary removed.  This does not happen in every case.  Just keep up with your doctor's advice and have it checked periodically.

I had fibroid tumors when I was younger.  They didn't bother me until I was about 44.  Then I started having trouble with my periods.  It was my choice to have a hysterectomy.  But that doesn't mean that is the answer for you.  I don't know how old you are, or what your situation is re: childbearing.  I'm sure it is nothing to worry about. Try to relax.

You could have cysts in your ovaries, that's what I have, I've been having irregular periods every since I fist started, and I went to the gynecologist and I found out that I have cysts, but if you do have cysts you can have surgery to take them off, and you can have babies just fine!!! I've been taking birth control pills to regulate my period for 2 years as a treatment and they haven't worked at all, but I'm too young to have surgery(I'm almost 16), so I have to live with pain for a very long time!!! I would recomend that you go with your gyneacologist and get checked to see what's wrong!!!

Not in itself.\n\nHowever, there are complications of the condition that may require further surgery. But that decision won't be faced unless the surgeon sees something during the periscope or path results on the fibroids show an abnormality.\n\nYour surgeon will be the person to tell you more about that though.

You shouldn't have to get your ovaries removed unless it's severe. I had an ovarian cyst and my doctor prescribed birth control pills to dissolve it. I was fine after that.

NO, a benign cyst does not "turn" into cancer.  It's is either benign or a cancerous ovarian tumor.  Cysts are very common.  Some will rupture on their own, others require surgery.  Get away from the ER doc and get a GYN to evaluate you.

Make sure you get a second opinion, and even a third opinion if you want.  This is a surgery that will not only make you unable to have kids, but change the way you feel.  You will probably choose to have hormone replacement therapy.  Three people in my family have had hysterectomy's.  They did not develop man-like characteristics or any of those problemsn that are rumoured.  Do what's best for you to lead a pain-free life, and a life where you aren't having to go to the Dr. all the time.  If you haven't had any children, or want to have more, ask about getting some of your eggs harvested.  They can be saved and then fertilized and carried by a surrogate.  Some Dr.'s won't tell you about this option so ask around.  Whatever you choose to do, good luck.

Yes I had to have a total hysterectomy because of cyst on my ovaries and I'm only 27 years old. I had it about 3 months ago and the only thing that I really had to deal with was depression because I thought  that I was too young and I really wanted to have kids. Good luck to you I hope all goes well.

Depends on you.  If there is no pain or symptomatic issue, and s/he doesn't suspect any malignancy, then likely nothing further will be done.  If you are in pain and/or suffering from other symptoms, i.e., heavy or dysfunctional uterine bleeding, you have a right to demand a diagnosis and subsequent treatment.  Adenomyosis is another major cause of an enlarged uterus next to fibroids, so that's something to consider looking into.  It's up to you and your doc what the next diagnostic step - and any treatment - will be.  Good luck.
