Hysterectomy and ovarian 8cm ovarian cyst and fibroids

I have had problems with periods for as long as I can remember and had endo ablation almost 2 years ago. Following the procedure I had an infection and hence forth nothing has improved. A cyst on my left ovary has doubled in size but following blood tests, this appears to be harmless although I am in constant pain with dull aching on my left side/hip/thigh. My biggest pain in in my lower back. Finally, I am due to have a hysterctomy but they now want to 'investigate' the cyst!! Has anybody else been through similar??

it is whats causing you this pain,it needs to be removed,read back to my notes from march 2013 to now tc mags))

A year before my hysterectomy, I underwent investigative laproscopy of my right ovary concurrent with a myomectomy (uterine fibroid removal).  It gave my doc a much better idea of what she was up against than ultrasound or sono imaging.

Hello amanda ive been thru similar hun i had a 12x10cm and a 3cm dermoid cyst on my right ovary. Suffered with painful periods for years. After an mri scan and blood tests done it wasnt cancerous but i had fibroids that were pushing into my womb. I had a total abdominal hysterectomy with removal of the cysts ovary and fallopian tube on the 23rd september. Hope u getting sorted xx
