Complex Cyst
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 im really scared. Does anyone know if its better to remove the ovaries if you are proven to cyst and have had a possible scare? Any information would be helpful. Thanks!
First off a normal woman has a 1.4% of ovarian cancer in a lifetime. It is pretty low. If you are less than 50 it is way lower. 98%-99% of ovarian cysts are benign. They can cause the same symptoms as ovarian cancer. It is good they are checking it out because ovarian cancer gets missed a lot. The blood test the CA 125 has a lot of false positives so do not assume you have cancer from the test. You have good doctors.
AS far as removing your ovaries. Keep them as long as you can. Women need them. I used to like my sex life. I am happily married. I have no desire, I can't get aroused or orgasm at all. On top of that sex is extremely painful. I have even been to a sex PT. I had no choice I had cancer in both ovaries, the tubes and the uterus.
Ovaries also keep your bones strong. I have about 20 night sweats every night. I have to change pajamas and sometimes the sheets. I have hot flashes. I have way more facial hair I have to shave twice a day.
Taking the ovaries out does not end ovarian cancer. I had everything taken out plus the lining of my organs called the omentum and part or my colon.
I had cancer in my liver and diaphragm and my lymph system. Now it has spread in my liver, lymph nodes (around my heart and in my neck), and in my spleen. It spread like buck shot.
It would be great to take the ovaries at that would be the end of it.
