Hello - I consider myself relatively knowledgeable about medicine but was without words when my doctor told me I had fluid in my cul de sac and that I should probably have my ovary removed. I initially went in for extreme pain prior to ovulation and ultrasound revealed the fluid, also one 2cm cyst on each ovary, uterine enlargement, uterine thickened to 12mm. I actually have two uteruses, the left uterus is thicker and that's the side that has ovarian pain. I haven't experienced ovarian cyst difficulties in two decades, but my thyroid began to fail this year and I wonder if the cysts could be from that. Also wonder - why would my ovary need to be removed?? Shouldn't the fluid just be drained? Thank you for any advice.
