I'm so scared

I have been for a scan and have a 10 cm cyst on my left ovary got a appoin tment wednesday with a gynaecologist not sure what to expect can anyone help. Also been through menopause, the doc says cyst is just filled with fluid . Karen

I had similar on right ovary. Only discovered it because I was having loads of bowel problems.  When I eventually saw consultant he recommended removal of both ovaries so I didn't have same problem again. I thought about it and went for full hysterectomy as scar (for me - others could get it laparoscopically) was going to be the same. Nearly 6 months later and I feel so much better. I had been thinking so much about my bowel problems I hadn't realised that I also had bladder issues which have completely gone now.  Wish I had found out sooner. Good luck 

Hanks wish it was over I too have bowel problems constipation will let you know what happens. It helps to talk to someone x

Hi karen.

I cant tell you what to expect surgery wise as im due to for surgery soon for a 14cm dermoid cyst. I just wanted to wish you luck & if you think of any questions to ask just write them down so you can ask your consultant. I do know they operate on anything from 5-6cm.

Hopefully any symptoms you do have will be gone after you have surgery.

Best wishes

Hi chery. Crumbs you have a bigger alien than me lurking on your bits lol . Thanks for the encouragement , I guess it's just the waiting that makes us all so nervous . When is your op .xx

Hi karen.

I have my pre-op on tuesday so it can be anytime after that. Not really something i want to do but anything is better than being in pain.

Good luck
