First, important point: My mother died of ovarian cancer January 2009, at the age of 76. My main concern after that was getting my ovaries removed (I had a hysterectomy in 1994, at the age of 37.)
In September, 2010, after it was discovered that I had several ovarian cysts, I had surgery to remove them and my ovaries, tubes, and scar tissue.
March 2012, I had ovarian cysts removed again. Note that these cysts have caused no pain, but a very swollen & bloated abdomen.
In the past year, I have dropped 14 pounds - yay! However, about 2 months ago, I noticed that my abdomen was bloated again. I went to the dr today & have an ultrasound scheduled in about a week & a half to check for cysts. My husband thinks I need to find a new doctor. I understand that this could keep happening over and over.
What causes this to keep happening? I like and trust my doctor, but am wondering if I should get a 2nd opinion. Not sure what to do now.
Thank you!
