postmenopause complex ovarian cyst
i will be seeing a gynoncologist soon for a complex ovarian cyst which grew slightly. i have been monitored for 6 years with transvaginal ultrasounds which are becoming more difficult and uncomfortable before and after i have them. i am reading about postmenopausal women should keep ovaries to prevent heart and lung cancer and live longer in the future. i don't know what decision to make if he says surgery this time. i am 63. anyone have these situations or problems. please help. thank you
I am not postmenopausal but did lose an ovary to a cyst years ago. He might not need to remove the entire ovary, and you would still keep one intact anyway, correct? Of course you want to keep them, but if the cyst gets too big it will destroy the ovary and cause other damage. You might have to remove it.
