COMPLEX OVARIAN CYST?

This is my second time dealing with Ovarian Cyst that a complex. My first was when I was 22 and I had laropscopic surgery to remove bilateral dermoid cyst. Now they have returned this time only on the left side. It is very painful and I am not sure what I am doing for them to keep coming back or if I should even go threw with the surgery again. I have one child and hadn't been able to hav eanother one since surgery. Should I be concerned that cancer may be at a higher risk since this is the second time.

Thanks for the support. I am pretty sure, I can usually tell two or three days before I menstrate. Although I did spot a little in mid-cycle. I wish that it could be pregnancy. I think that it had more to do with the dermoid than anything else. I haven't had surgery on this second dermoid yet. I want to see if there might be another way.

Good luck with your surgery. It can be a bight painful for a few days after, plus your stomach is bloated.. : ( But it is better then the pain it causes when they get to be bigger. Just get rest.

Not to worry you, but you are sure you aren't pregnant, right? I'm also having surgery in a few weeks time to remove a dermoid and my doc advised to take extra precautions this month as trauma from surgery could result in an etopic pregnancy. No to scare you, but perhaps take a preg test just to confirm??

Strange coincidence, but I am having surgery in two weeks and it is also scheduled for the first day of my period!!... weird... :-P

It's two days away, right? Good luck -- I'll sending you positive vibes!!

Although  Doctors are generally more suspicious of complex cysts , many women with endometriosis get them time and time again and never get cancer . I don,t think there is anything that you can do to prevent them , Im not sure if any hormone treatments help but its not fun if you keep on getting these cysts . I would have a disscussion with your doctor and see what  suggestions he or she can come up with .
Let us  know how you get on and good luck .

Best wishes
Angie
