Does ovary have to be removed?

[lulu121]

Hello....I have an unknown mass on my left ovary that is 5.1 cm. I have taken two blood tests for cancer and they both came back negative and my doctor wants to do a laparoscopy sugery within 2 weeks. Does the size of this mass mean I need to have my ovary removed? please help!

Honey if we knew that we all would be doctors. Only a doctor can tell you whats happening. Try the gynecology forum .to discuss..but only a doctor would be able "after all the testing" to advise you on your next steps.........
Good Luck.

Looks like a post ended up on the wrong discussion forum. We talk about our livers more than ovaries here.

I do hope you get help for your question, and I hope it all turns out ok.

trust me....they can get four times that size before they need to come out.

i know from experience!

but if it's an ovarian cyst and they are scoping ....my thought is they'll take the whole thing.  

it's not a huge deal by my way of thinking but i don't want to be insensitive.
