Biopsy or Oorphectomy?
I have a 9mm dermoid cyst in an ovary. My doctor wants to do a laparoscopy to remove both ovaries instead of doing a biopsy to see if I even have cancer or not. I do have some risk factors like breast & colon cancer in family, but no BRAC1 or 2. Also had fertility treatment and no pregnancies. Is this radical?
99 percent of dermoid cysts are benign so i am confused about
Your doctor wanting to do such a radical procedure. Is it because of the link between fertility treatments and ovarian cancer? I would go for a second opinion. I have a 8 cm dermoid and my doctor wants to remove it via robotic laporoscopy and try to save my ovary since I want more kids in the future. Good luck
