Answer 2

6 Centimeter Ovarian Cyst

Answer 3

I'm 44 years old, with 2 children. They were both delivered by c section because they were 10 and 9 and a half pounds respectively.
When I was 36, I had an ovarian cyst to rupture.
First of all, if there ever is a problem with your ovaries, your body mimics a pregnancy. I began having morning sickness, stomachache, headaches, and then I started having these symptoms all through the day. I couldn't eat, nor sleep, nor work my job. Much less care for my 2 young children well. My mom helped me a lot with that. She took care of the kids while I went to the Dr. Each month, for 5 months straight, the Dr. did a pregnancy test and sent me home. I told them that I was not pregnant, and that I had a tubal ligation, but they did the test anyway, and sent me home. My symptoms got much worse, and my eyes became jaundiced. It looked like I had put on gold eyeshadow!
I went back to my gynocologist, and he examined me, and sent me straight to the hospital. He told me that a cyst had ruptured on my left ovary. I stayed in the hospital after the surgery, 4 days. When I woke up, the Dr. was saying that he was praying for me to pull through that surgery. The fluid that he removed from around my left ovary was thick grayish, yellowish and old. It had ruptured months before, but the Dr. had only given me pregnancy tests and sent me home saying that I was not pregnant. I had wasted time, money, and I had almost died.
If you are pregnant, and have an ovarian cyst, I can only see the pregnancy putting pressure upon it to rupture. They took old fluid from my body. What would happen to your baby if your cyst ruptured and the fluid got to the sac? You won't have to worry about the baby, because YOU won't be here to tell the story. Please believe me. You will feel like you're dying everyday until you finally will, if you don't have it removed now, especially if you're trying to get pregnant. If you start having symptoms like you are pregnant, it could be the cyst rupturing. Get help now. Don't let them do to you what they did to me, by giving you a pregnancy test and just sending you home until it's almost too late.
Do it for yourself and your future.

Answer 5

I recommend this interesting ebook about ovarian cysts http://ovariancysts.toptips.org



There are several primary factors and a combination of these factors which lead to ovarian cysts formation.



Genetic predisposition: Genetic predisposition is often considered to be the primary cause of ovarian cysts as research has shown that the genetic pattern of women who suffer from this chronic condition is far different compared to women who have never suffered from ovarian cysts or PCOS. PCOS women are often predisposed to abnormal metabolism and the dysfunctions of cell activity. However, this should not be a death warrant as many times the genetic characteristics can be modified with the help of environmental factors and proper lifestyle related changes.


Poor dietary choices: Different types of foods including refined carbohydrates, acidic foods and foods which contain high levels of toxins and hormone like substances can trigger hormonal imbalance and can weaken your immune system making you more susceptible to ovarian cysts. Similarly a diet rich in sugar and low on fresh vegetables can make the task of flushing out toxins difficult thereby aggravating your ovarian cyst condition.


Weak immune system: Poor dietary choices, stress and sleep deprivation can lead to a weakened immune system. A weakened immune system invites cannot defend the body against ovarian cyst formation.


Insulin resistance: High level of insulin can stimulate ovarian androgen production, which leads to the production of male hormones. This reduces the serum sex-hormone binding globulin or SHGB. The SHBG can in turn aggravate your ovarian cyst condition to quite an extent.


Failed ovulation process: When the ovaries fail to release an egg on a monthly basis due to certain metabolic disorders and because progesterone isn't produced it can trigger the formation of ovarian cysts as the immature follicles develop into cysts.

Ovarian Cyst

What is an ovarian cyst?
An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac in the ovary. Many cysts are completely normal. These are called functional cysts. They occur as a result of ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). Functional cysts normally shrink over time, usually in about 1 to 3 months. If you have a functional cyst, your doctor may want to check you again in 1 to 3 months to make sure the cyst has gotten smaller. In certain cases, your doctor may want you to take birth control pills so you won't ovulate. If you don't ovulate, you won't form cysts.

If you are menopausal and are not having periods, you shouldn't form functional cysts. If you do have a cyst, your doctor will probably want you to have a sonogram so he or she can look at the cyst. What your doctor decides to do after that depends on your age, the way the cyst looks on the sonogram and if you're having symptoms such as pain, bloating, feeling full after eating just a little, and constipation
What is a sonogram?
A sonogram uses sound waves to make "pictures" of organs in the body. It's a good way for your doctor to "look" at your ovaries. This kind of sonogram can be done 2 ways, either through your abdomen or your vagina. Neither type is painful. The sonogram usually lasts about 30 minutes. It will give your doctor valuable information about the size and the appearance of your cyst.

Are there any other tests I might have?
Your doctor might test the level of a protein called CA-125 in your blood. Sometimes this blood test is done in women with an ovarian cyst to see if their cyst could be cancerous. A normal CA-125 level is less than 35. However, this test is not always an accurate way to tell if a woman has ovarian cancer. For example, some women who do have ovarian cancer have a normal CA-125 level. Also, this level can sometimes be high in women who do not have cancer, particularly if they are in their childbearing years. For these reasons, the CA-125 blood test is usually only recommended for women who are at high risk for ovarian cancer.

Do I need surgery for an ovarian cyst?
The answer depends on several things, such as your age, whether you are having periods, the size of the cyst, its appearance and your symptoms.

If you're having periods and the cyst is functional, you probably won't need to have surgery. If the cyst doesn't go away after several menstrual periods, if it gets larger or if it doesn't look like a functional cyst on the sonogram, your doctor may want you to have an operation to remove it. There are many different types of ovarian cysts in women of childbearing age that do require surgery. Fortunately, cysts in women of this age are almost always benign (not cancer).

If you're past menopause and have an ovarian cyst, your doctor will probably want you to have surgery. Ovarian cancer is rare, but women 50 to 70 years of age are at greater risk. Women who are diagnosed at an early stage do much better than women who are diagnosed later
What type of surgery would I need?
If the cyst is small (about the size of a plum or smaller) and if it looks benign on the sonogram, your doctor may decide to do a laparoscopy. This type of surgery is done with a lighted instrument called a laparoscope that's like a slender telescope. This is put into your abdomen through a small incision (cut) just above or just below your navel (belly button). With the laparoscope, your doctor can see your organs. Often the cyst can be removed through small incisions in the pubic hair line.

If the cyst looks too big to remove with the laparoscope or if it looks suspicious in any way, your doctor will probably do a laparotomy. A laparotomy uses a bigger incision to remove the cyst or possibly the entire ovary. While you are under general anesthesia (puts you in a sleep-like state) the cyst can be tested to find out if it is cancer. If it is cancer, your doctor may need to remove both of the ovaries, the uterus, a fold of fatty tissue called the omentum and some lymph nodes. It's very important that you talk to your doctor about all of this before the surgery. Your doctor will also talk to you about the risks of each kind of surgery, how long you are likely to be in the hospital and how long it will be before you can go back to your normal activities
