Why did this happen?

Hello i recently received a laparoscopy this past weekend and was confirmed of a cyst on my fallopian tube. The doctor removed it because the cyst was apparently very large, my question is does anyone know of a good reason as to why the docotr felt it was best to remove my tube all together. I'm hearing all kinds of different assumptions and that it was strange that my doctor went with that course of treatment. I'm afraid of possibly receiving wrong medical treatment and am desperate for medical answer to ease my nerves!!!

It is not uncommon for them to remove a fallopian tube if they had to remove the ovary.  In your case, it is possible that the cyst was wrapped around the fallopian tube.  You would get the best answer if you called the doctor who did the surgery and asked him.  You have every right to know what is going on and why the tube was removed.  I hope you get the answers you seek soon.

I had a dermoid as well and the doctor removed my ovary and my fallopian tube,  This is usually the case when the cyst and ovary are intertwined with each other.
