Answers:
Hi there, I have a 10!.1 cm left ovarian cystic mass on mine!. I chose to have drug treatment to reduce mine before surgery!. Most cysts are due to either excessive caffeine or too much estrogen!. Mine's from estrogen so I'm on Lupron which puts me in a drug induced menopause to shrink it!. No periods or anything, I love it!. I'm down to 5!.0 now and want to get to 2cm then they can laser it away!.

I was given the choices you have by one doctor!. Actually when I persisted for details she said they'd probably remove my entire ovary! I wasn't happy with that and terrified!. Sometimes the cysts break and they hurt or they can torque/twist and cause serious problems!. There could be ovarian damage too!. I would call the dr tomorrow and ask what other options there are for it!. Did they do a ca125 test to be sure you don't have ovarian cancer!? I had one of those, it's a blood test you should have before surgery on it!. I don't mean to scare you with that but you should know all the options out there and be sure it's just a cyst and you won't wake up with something done you didn't want done!.

My first doctor was pushy and pushed surgery telling me she'd take the whole ovary, she had the nerve to set it up without my permission too, I opted for a 2nd opinion and wound up loving the doctor and how she explained ALL options and let me choose!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Odds are it is going to be a laproscopic guided laparotomy!. They should just incise the cyst and let it drain!. It shouldn't be too bad at all!.

The only bad thing about this is that after one cyst your are more likely to have this done again!. Usually BC decreases the number of cysts though!.

Your ovar may get a scar wich may slightly decrease your ferility, but for now, it sounds like you should be alright!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
