Recurring Benign Cysts

[lulipop]

How many of you that have had benign Neoplasms removed from besides thier ovaries, or on the ovaries, have had more cyst grow back in the same area ?  Someone told me that if they remove the sac this does not happen.  Is it possible that my doctor did not remove the sac and it is just accumulating toxins all over again?

I started getting ovarian cysts at age 17.  They removed it and another one showed up, this went on until I turned 30.  During the time I was getting the cysts, I would have to undergo surgery to remove them, averaged one every other year, and one point I had to have the left ovary/tube removed because they were completely covered w/the cyst.  At age 30, I had to have a complete hystorecomy because the cysts had covered my ovaries and tubes.  I obviously have not had ovarian cysts since then, however, about 8 years ago (42ish) I developed a cyst on my head, just behind the hair line.  It's there still, doesn't bother me and my dr said to leave it alone unless it does.  I also have cysts
in my breast.  They are also not removing them.  Sometimes birth control pills will remove the cysts without having to undergo surgery, but if your like me, no matter what you do, the pill/surgery, they will keep coming back...

My daughter has had a similar recurring cyst on her ovary requiring less than yearly surgeries. 6 times in as many years ...after an initial operation for part malignant on her other ovary which was then removed. She is 20 and her fertility is whats now at question along with the suffering of continuous open surgeries.

I know a number of women who suffered recurring benign ovarian cysts.  One member of my own family had this problem with one particular ovary.  She finally had that ovary removed.  Her  cyst problems were solved, and her fertility issues were solved as well.
