Ovarian cancer or just a menstrual period?

[vaughnicen]

Hi I'm Monna Lizza de Guzman..Last June I was confined and diagnosed with ovarian cyst. They found the cyst on the right side of my ovary. After I was confined, my doctor told me to come back after 3 months and check if the cyst grows bigger. Then after 3 months of waiting I came back to my doctor and she advised me to have a trans-V ultrasound. As the results came in my doctor told me that the cyst on my ovary was gone, but they found a solid mass on the left side of my ovary and it measures 4cm or more than that. She told me that she have to remove it by a surgery. I was worried because I'm afraid to undergo another surgery. I was wondering if there is any way of removing this solid mass or is there any medicine I could take?

Thanks for your response..I really appreciate it..Honestly, I don't have any idea about this solid mass thing. I was about to ignore this but thanks to you because now I know the risks with not removing this solid mass.. Thanks again..God bless.

Anything described as solid cannot be treated with medicine. Removal is the only cure. Or just let it stay there. There are risks with any kind of surgery. But there are also risks with not removing solid cysts. They could be hiding cancer. If benign, they could grow further, consume the ovary, twist the fallopian tube (an emergency) , rupture, put pressure on other organs, and reduce your overall health and quality of life.
