Removal of ovarian cysts
I am 54 and post menopausal. My gynologist when finding a cyst with a septum via ultra sound sent me to an oncology gynocologist to remove the cyst. Because there were no glaring reasons to remove it right away we watched it from 2/06-6/06. When it did not go away on its own surgery was scheduled. Needless to say I was very nervous about this.
I am happy to report that the lime size cyst which was adhering to my colon(this waw a surprise) was removed yesterday along with both ovaries and falopian tubes. It was benign.
Today I am walking around with little pain and writing this forum.
I visited this forum many times throughout the last months and want to say thank you for the positive climate and support women offer each other.

Thanks for that Linda! I didn't know they could bag them!
I have no worries about abs - they are hardly flat anyway!!!

Hi!
Congratulations!!And do take it easy and allow yourself to be looked after if at all possible!
I would be interested for some information. I am 57 and with my gynonc I have been tracking a simple cyst now since may 05. Recently it increased in size to 5.7cm (before it was alwasy less than 5), but still 'no worrying features'. However, I am back again in October for further checks. Unless it's shrunk or gone away by then I suspect I will be offered/adviced to have it removed, which by now I probably would agree to - it's gone on for too long and I am getting fed up with it.
Can you tell me, as I am interested and would like to know: what size was your cyst? I assume it was a lap. How many cuts? How big? I would be really interested to know. I am wondering , for instance, how they would get a 5.7cm cyst out through, say, a 1 inch cut. Or would they have to mae a bigger cut? I have had a lap before many years ago, and that/s the size of the scar, but it was for very different reasons.

I think what they do is bag the cyst then they can pulverize it in the bag to pull it through a lap incision. As long as the cyst is bagged, it can come out with no spillage still go through path. I've had no problems recovering from my laparoscopy, save for a small bit of bloating that's frustrating the hell out of me since I worked darn hard to get my flat abs, had 2 hours of surgery and *POOF*. This too shall pass.
I would say there is soreness for maybe 2-3 days then you feel normal. I have the occasional twinge and did have some crampiness the first time we resumed sexual relations. A change of position cured that.
