Complex Ovarian Cyst

Hi All,

I have been recently diagnosed with a 8 cm complex ovarian cyst on my right ovary. I have done my Ultrasound and MRI which shows a 8 cm complex cyst with a 2 cm mural nodule in it. I was also sent for CA125 test and CA-19-9 test which are normal. My doctor is suggesting to do Cystectomy Open and explaratory lapratomy to remove the cyst and if something suspicious is found to remove the ovary. I am completely freaked out and not sure if I should take a second opinion. Also is this kind of surgery done by a normal OBGYN or should it be done by a specialist? I am quite confused and need to get help on this. I am 33 year old without children. Will this surgery affect my chances of conceiving naturally in future?

Pls help me and advice....

If you are able to see a GYN/ONC that would be awesome.  I choose to just go to my regular gynecologist for my surgery because for insurance purposes I am not able to see an oncologist unless cancer is found.  It is definitely a question I would call your insurance about and find out which GYN/ONC is in your network.  I agree that the surgery needs to be done ASAP.  Good luck and please keep us informed on what you find out and how you are doing

Yes, you need the surgery described, right away.  Yes, you need a better specialist to do it.

You need immediate referral to a Gynecologist/Oncologist.

I was born in NJ so I am certain you can find a decent specialist.

Read my surgery and cyst story in my profile for a way to calm your fears.
