I may have to have surgery to remove 2 ovarian cysts, one is a dermoid and one i!


Question:

I may have to have surgery to remove 2 ovarian cysts, one is a dermoid and one is not?

I am looking for advice from anyone who has had a similar surgery, I would have to have it done as a laparotomy most likely. My gynecologist seemed concerned that part of my ovary may be damaged on the right side so they may have to remove it also. I am only 26 years old newly married and trying to get pregnant for our first baby. I need to know has anyone had this probalem and then tried to get pregnant did it help or hurt? Also does anyone have any idea how long it is before you can return to work from this kind of procedure?

There is one cyst on each ovary. The cyst on my right ovary was thought to be a simple cyst back in January when we found it. In May my gynecologist did another ultrasound and found it to be a 6.5 cm dermoid ovarian cyst, and also I have now began to develope a 4 cm (simple at this point) cyst on my left ovary. Since the last ultrasound was in May I have to go Monday to have another ultrasound and I have to go back on next Friday to schedule surgery if something miraculous hasn't happened.
I'm sorry if my question is confusing I am as you can guess quite upset today.

Oh my, I just a really good answer from my manager actually, I told her what is going on and she had 2 dermoids one on each ovary back in 2001, she told me all about it, I will still give someone on here points though so if you have more information please still contribute.


Answers:

This is a confusing question. (wow. dermoids are rare) It looks like you may need part or all of your right ovary removed, but not sure if your left ovary is affected. If not, then chances of pregnancy are great.
Returning to work depends a lot on what kind of work you do and if you have any complications. For an uncomplicated surgery and assuming desk work, I would guess your doc would let you go back to work in about a week. I would really talk to your gynecologist about your concerns. A lot depends on your health going in to the surgery, too.
