Does Ovarian Cyst Cause Abdominal Pain and Heavy Period and Infertility?
My surgeon want to remove the cyst. Are they just going to remove the cyst or they going to remove whole ovary? i hope not! and Ovarian cyst cause abdominal pain and heavy bleeding(period) and infertility?
I have been tried to have baby for about 2 years. Always unsuccesful.
I have cyst on my left ovary. but my right side ovary is fine. my left side ovarian cyst is causing a problem to my right side ovary (infertility)?
An ovarian cyst can be removed from an ovary (cystectomy), preserving the ovary and your fertility. However, it is possible for a new cyst to form on the same or opposite ovary after a cystectomy. New cysts can only be completely prevented by removing the ovaries (oophorectomy).
Risks
Risks of ovarian surgery include the following:
Ovarian cysts may come back after a cystectomy.
Pain may not be controlled.
Scar tissue (adhesions) may form at the surgical site, on the ovaries or fallopian tubes, or in the pelvis.
Infection may develop.
The bowel or bladder may be damaged during surgery.
Surgery may be recommended if you have a large cyst, cysts in both ovaries, or other characteristics that may suggest ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer can occur in women of all ages but the incidence increases after menopause.
Surgery is used to confirm the diagnosis of an ovarian cyst, remove a cyst that is causing symptoms, and rule out ovarian cancer.
Surgery for an ovarian cyst or growth may be recommended in the following situations:
Ovarian growths (masses) are present in both ovaries.
An ovarian cyst is larger than 3in..
An ultrasound exam suggests that a cyst is not a simple functional cyst.
You have an ovarian growth and you:
Have never had a menstrual period (for example, a young girl).
Have been through menopause (postmenopausal woman).
Use birth control pills (unless you are using low-dose progestin-only pills or have missed a pill, which would make an ovulation-related functional cyst more likely).
It depends on the size and exact location of the cyst and what damage has been done if any to the ovary. It can cause heavy and brake through bleeding, abdominal pain and infertility (depending on what I first mentioned). You only need one ovary in order to conceive.
