I had laparoscopies beginning at age 15 because of severe endometriosis, I am now 29 years old & have had 6 laparoscopies. My last surgery which was a year & 3 months ago I went in for a routine laparoscopy & was waken up after what was supposed to be a 30 minute surgery turned into 2 hours. The doctor (which was never discussed or mentioned in office visits of what could possibly happen once I was opened up or what to prepare for the worst). Thankfully I had told my fiance to sign the paper in case something happened I wanted him to be the one to answer for me & I did tell him that if there was something wrong that was not discussed during office visits to give the Dr. the okay to do what was best in my situation. So I was awaken & was told that my right ovary & tube had to be removed since they were not functioning properly & were damaged. That was the worst experience & surgery I have ever had & the emotional roller coaster it put me on, symptoms of pre-menopause & depression/anxiety & now I am slowly getting back to my "normal" self. For the past month, I have been having really bad pains on my right side where my ovary is supposed to be & also on my left side along with horrible back pain. I did find out last week that I do have a cyst on my left ovary so I went to my GYN to see what I need to do because I only have that one ovary left & I am trying to keep it as healthy as possible for when my husband & I do try to have a child in a year or 2 because we are not financially ready at this time for a child. Its making me really nervous because of what the Dr may find if he does a laparoscopy because I am not ready for that ovary to be taken out also or have a hysterectomy since neither my husband or I have any children. The Dr did my annual PAP & sent me for a ultrasound so I am just waiting for his office to call me with results & to schedule another appointment to discuss options because the Dr did tell me there is a possibility that he may have to remove the left ovary also, just depending on what he would find. I am so nervous because I want to at least experience having one child & the possibility of that being taken away from me devastates me & scares me horribly. Is their anyone there that has had a similar experience or could help me with questions I could ask the Dr if I am going to have surgery?? Any advice or help would greatly be appreciated! Thanks!!
