Did you go already? Are you still in pain? Let us know how is it going.
Thank you for your suggestion to go see a gyno/oncologist. My Nurse has sent in a referral for me to see one at the Mayo Clinic. (I live near by) I will keep you posted as to what I find out.
Taking one ovary out is not extreme if you are in pain all the time. I had the same issue and was trying everything to avoid surgery. Then I said to myself - you have tried everything and nothing worked, time to take ovary out.
Thank you for your responses, it means a lot. To answer some questions. My Doctor seems perplexed as what to do next. This is the 3rd Doctor I have seen through out the years. She is a gynecologist. I do not plan on having any more children. I do get cysts on both ovaries but the left ovary rarely bothers me. It's always pain on my right side. I did try birth control pills (yaz) a couple of years ago. Did not work. I am waiting to get birth control pills right now but part of me is just so sick of trying others things with nothing working. I just want to have my ovary removed. But I do worry that it is a bit extreme. I just do not want to be in this pain any more. I have pain medication but I do hate to take it. I do take it on those days that it just hurts to even move.
I will be calling my Doctor today. Hopefully I can get some more answers. I think I should also do some more research on other options of Doctors. Thank you again for responding.
I have the same type of problem - had laparoscopy to remove cysts on both ovaries and they grew back within a month of surgery to the same size (one was 5 cm). Ended up taking right ovary out because of pain, together with that same 5 cm cyst that got attached to my uterus. I have to admit that I am still in pain after surgery and it has been more than 3 weeks since.
I had no issues with cysts while I was on sesonelle pills. I had to stop them because they made my fibroids grow. Adhesions could be from raptured cycts and endometriosis as well.
