Ovarian Cysts Removal :: Thyroid Cancer History
Apr 3, 2016
I am a 50 year old who started having left back pain two months ago. After pelvic US discover 3.8 cm complex cyst. Gyro recommended waiting and follow up ultrasound, so two months later repeat ultrasound showed an additional 2.5 cm complex cyst, original was measured at 3.1 cm. Gyno Dr recommended surgery to remove left ovary and both cysts. I still have left back pain, some pain when urinating, constipation, so stomach upset. Part of me wants to continue waiting in pain to see if they resolve, but it's not fun having the not severe but constant ache in my left side. Have a history of thyroid cancer, but have been cancer free for 4 years. I am in perimenopause, periods are very irregular. Went 3 months without a period, had a period, and now it's been two months with no period. Have a surgical consult with gyn/ob at Kaiser Mr. Talbert in Sunnyside Oregon next Thursday. I need advice and suggestions on what to ask Dr. Part of me just wants to do the surgery and get it over with, but the other part thinks what if I wait and they go away? With my history of cancer (I had a 10% chance that my thyroid tumor would have been cancerous and it was) I'm a little leary of just saying that since there is only a slight chance of complex cyst being cancer I shouldn't worry about that. Maybe should have the cancer test?

6 weeks ago I went into hospital and was told I had a cyst on my left ovary , which was about 4cm. I have recently been back to my doctors and had some blood tests done and waiting for a repeat scan. My ca125 has come back high, and I have got to go and see a gynecologist a week monday. I am 44 years old, I was sterilised 2 years ago. I am so worried. I lost both my parents to cancer.
I have pain in my left side all of the time, could this be because of the cyst?

I'm wondering whether anyone has had a simple cyst which dissolved by itself without medical intervention.

After multiple tests (ultrasound, ct scan and MRI) I was told I have complex ovarian cysts 5×4 cm on both ovaries and pancreatic cyst that is over 1 cm . I have 2 questions. 1. Since I very much refuse and will be refusing contraceptives , how else naturally can I cure ovarian cysts? 2. Can acidic taste in my mouth with coating on my tongue and lower back pain be due to pancreatic cyst?
My symptoms:-
-Gassy pain after eating
-Very painful menstrual periods with lots of large clots (can't go without strong painkillers, sleepless nights due to pain)
-I do feel the right ovarian cyst even when I'm not on my period (when stretching or laying on my back)
-Lower back pain
-acidic taste in my mouth with whitish/yellowish coating on my tongue
-I'm tired often. Hard to get up in the morning.

I have had this cyst on my left ovary now for about 3 years and it is slowly growing (Ultrasounds every 6 months). I moved out of state and my new doctor is trying all the meds I've tried before and nothing has shrunk it and it has continued to grow - slowly. He said if I want it to be taken out I can. Would you take it out or leave it?

I am 28 unmarried but would like children someday. I recently found out that I have an 8cm dermoid cyst on my right ovary. I have an appointment with a surgical physician in about a week and a half. They found it during an ultrasound as I have been having pain in my lower right pelvic area. The ultrasound tech told me they generally remove them with surgery but that is about all the information I received. The call after the ultrasound was just to schedule this f/u appointment with a surgical physician. Am I right to assume surgery? I would like to be a little prepared before i walk in there.
I would appreciate anyone who has had a similar situation to tell me the likelihood of surgery, how the procedure went, recovery time, etc. I understand everyone is different but I am having a hard time finding concreting information. And am working myself up worrying about it. Especially if its going to effect my opportunity to have children.

I went to the dr for a BV infection and 15 days of light bleeding and heavy discharge. I was sent in for an ultrasound and the discovery was:
Thickening of the endometrium with irregular margins measuring at 23 mm at its thickest. also in my right ovary they found a complex solid appearing area measuring 22x17x17mm which they said could reflect a hemmorrhagic cyst though an endometrioma should not be ruled out. I have to wait until March 2nd to see the specialist on this and I must say I am beyond freaking out out on this... any advice

I am 40 years old & I had a hysterectomy in 2011, I only had one ovary removed. Since 2013, I've had several occasions when I've had to go to the er because I had unbearable pain due to ruptured cysts on my remaining ovary, the pain I deal with is horrible to say the least & each time I was just sent home with pain meds. Has anyone else gone through this after having only 1 ovary removed? & should I consider having the remaining ovary removed?

I've had a series of cyst they normally go away by themselves but today my doctor told me i have a complex cysts and they are going to draw blood to check if its benign. How rare is it to be cancerous? Does anyone know? I have had a lot of symptoms from pain, to nausea, bloating, etc and because of that i'm really scared. Does anyone know if it's better to remove the ovaries if you are proven to cyst and have had a possible scare

I'm 34 years old. Family history of breast cancer.
My first benign breast (right) tumor was surgically removed when I was 15 years old. It was a mass that grew in size with time but, thankfully, benign.
In 2013 I had a lump in my left breast (mammo and ultrasound showed lump w/ it's own blood supply and jagged edges) and when I was having my biopsy done the Dr. saw there was puss. Biopsy returned normal and diagnosis was mastitis even though I wasn't breast feeding. After weeks and weeks of strong antibiotics, the mass was surgically removed.
In 2014 I had another lump in my right breast(mammo and ultrasound showed lump w/ it's own blood supply and jagged edges). During the biopsy my Dr. was able to break the mass apart. No surgery was needed after this one. No antibiotics. And again, biopsy was normal.
Now it's 2015 and about 2 weeks ago I woke up with pain on my right breast. It was very swollen, red around the areola, felt very dense/heavy, and was very warm. A few days later, symptoms are the same but now I had green discharge coming out of the nipple. I didn't squeeze to get the discharge out. I noticed it on my bra. Some days there was more discharge than other days, but always green. I think I might have seen a reddish brown color at one point but wasn't too sure as it was faded into the padding I was putting in my bra. Went to the Dr. and was seen by a nurse practitioner and she felt a lump (though to me, it didn't feel like a lump, more of just a very dense/thick area) and we noticed that my nipple was inverted and it wasn't before. I was finally scheduled for a mammo & ultrasound a week and half after the symptoms first started and by then, the swelling had gone down, the pain wasn't constant - more of a shooting sharp pain throughout my breast and nipple area, but the discharge continued. The nipple is still slightly inverted, specially at the bottom. Mammo and ultrasound came back fine except Dr noticed that there is debris in my milk ducts. Oh and no fever at any time, no feeling sick, and my breast is very itchy... nipple area is flaky... maybe from scratching?? Should I get a 2nd opinion or does this sound like something I should concerned about? I've had so many issues with my breast already I just get really scared that there is something bad going on. I'm sure this is benign but worried at the same time.

My pelvic ultrasound showed a septated right ovarian cyst measuring 5.3 x 4.1 x 6.1cm, small amount of debris within the cyst, trace amount of free fluid within the right adnexa and my right ovary enlarged measuring 6.0 x 4.4 x 6.3cm. There were low level echoes and the septation echogenic lateral wall. Can anyone help explain the meaning of this? Type of cyst or cancer? I had cervical dysplasia about 10ish years ago and then had a cryosurgery and LEEP and all papsmears have been normal since. I'm very worried, I am 30 years old with a one year old and 8 year old.

I was wondering if anyone has had unmatching ultrasounds and MRI and what you recommend. I had an ultrasound (transvaginal) which found 2 complex cysts (1.0 and 1.8 cm) and two "cystic structures" separate from the left ovary (one 3.1 cm and one 2.1 cm). They recommended a pelvic MRI which only stated 3.6 cm x 2cm extra ovarian structure which "likely represents" hydrosalpinx? Not sure what to do as the results don't match? Second opinion? Unclear imaging?

I have quite a deep cyst on my right butt cheek. It's been there for over 5 years now and I am planning on getting it removed. It has never secreted any pus as it is quite deep under the skin but when I feel around the area I can feel that it's quite wide and deep under the surface! I guess the big question is will it leave a large dent or will it sink in once the cyst is removed? I know it doesn't sound like a big deal but I really don't want a large dimple or dent there!

I have a benign 1.4 cm cyst in the middle part of my thyroid (isthmus). It is visible in my neck. The doctor said to remove it would require to take out my thyroid and since it is benign he wants to watch to see if it gets bigger. Currently it is not causing me any problems. Has anyone had this same thing, and if so, what did you do? Also, do the cysts ever get smaller or go away on their own?

I have been very ill and in a lot of pain since August, going backwards and forwards to my doctors, even got admitted to hospital in August with suspected appendicitis but got sent home.
However last weekend I got rushed into hospital with awful sharp pains in my right side of pelvis and ended up having a laparoscopy where they found a cyst that had ruptured and leaked fluid all around my ovary so they had to cut me lower down to clean it all out and remove the sack! I was in hospital for 2 nights being sick and in pain.
I came home last Tuesday night and have had horrific shoulder pain from the gas and I can't manage to walk more than a couple of mins without getting shooting pains where I've been cut and being exhausted after.
I've been signed off work for 2 weeks, I'm a nursery nurse so a lot of lifting, sitting on the floor and getting up and down is involved! I'm worried I won't be better by next week and will need more time off, how long was you off work for with this or similar procedure? Any tips to speed up my recovery?
