Ovarian cyst~ scared?!


Question:

Ovarian cyst~ scared?

Is 37 years old too old to get one? This is the second time I had one this year that was close to 5 cm and I want to find out what is causing me to keep getting them. The one I have now has caused me to skip a period and I'm scared it will continue to grow as long as I don't have one.

Answers:

~We grow cysts all the time. Where they grow and how big they grow is what matters. You aren't too old to get one, I think I was about that age when one exploded in my ovary. By the time they figured out that's what it was and got me to the operating table, another one had exploded in the other one, and I had all kinds of growth, part of it fell behind my uterus. They did a biopsy and closed me back up. Then I had a complete Hysterectomy, they took everything, including my cervix. They didn't want to leave anything for the growth.
It sounds like you'll end up having your ovaries removed. I hope you had all the children you wanted. I was divorced, so I knew I didn't want anymore.
Being scared won't make it go away. Try praying. Good luck.~
