how big does a cyst have to be before
I was told via CAT scan that I have a 9 cm adnexal mass/ possible cyst....my question is how big does a cyst have to be for an OBGYN to want to surgically remove it?
Shelly is absolutely right. Most doctors like to remove cysts when they reach 5cm or cause a great deal of pain. It is hopeful that they could remove the cyst laprascopically. It is a much easier surgery to recover from than a laparotomy. Please keep us posted on how your doctors appointment goes. Good luck!!
Thanks Shelly, you have been very insightfull!! I'm really hoping there is some other way around surgery!!! My appt. is tomorrow...I'll keep you posted! Thanks again!
