Cysts-Need advice on surgery

by cm071803, Mar 13, 2008 10:08AM
I know this isn't an ovarian cancer question, but I wasn't sure where else to post.  I went to the doctor today and luckily, my orange sized cyst has decreased a bit in size.  It is still there and he did find a another one on my right ovary that wasn't there two weeks ago.  So, the decision that I now have to make is either to schedule a lap surgery, remove the cysts and any endometriosis and that should give me some pain free time for a bit or wait and see what happens during my next menstrual cycle.  What do you all think?  Part of me says to just wait if the doctor is not pushing for it, but I'm also worried that with my next menstrual cycle, the cyst will enlarge again and I'll have all the pain that I had this past time.  What do you all think?  He couldn't give me an answer if the cysts would enlarge again or if they will continue to decrease.

Hi,
If it were me, I'd get the cyst removed as soon as possible.  On this forum, none of us wants anything in our bodies that hurts us in any way.
Best of luck to you.
