HI There
thank you for the additional information
a little bit of fluid is common. It sounds like your doctor is taking good care of you and is making appropriate recommendations.
best wishes to you!
Thanks...I realize how ovulation works. I am pretty insync with my body. The fluid in the pelvic cavity was my concern, as it said on the US that it was more than the normal amt. It was a "pocket" of fluid in the pelvis. I had read that free fluid could be a sign of cancer, not just ovarian (as there aren't many signs until it is too late).
I am premenopausal and my breast cancer was early (DCIS stage) and I am not on tamoxifen. My gyno is going to repeat the ultrasound and see what it shows. He didn't think it sounded worrisome. He also recommended that I have my ovaries removed due to my family history of breast cancer.
The free fluid, is it a concern? The ultrasound wasn't taken during ovulation, it was a week before my period. Can you have feelings of tightness near the uterus after having a cyst burst and how long does the fluid take to go away?
Thanks again.
Hi There,
ovarian cysts come and go with ovulation.SO if you are ovulating and having monthly cycles, you are going to see cysts on the ovaries and fluid at the time of ovulation.
I would ask , rather, do you have risks for ovarian cancer? Have you had BRCA 1/2 gene testing? if not, you should. That may help guide you in deciding if you need to consider having your ovaries and fallopian tubes surgically removed
also if you have a family history of breast and ovarian cancer, you may be at higher risk for ovarian cancer and sold consider risk reducing surgery.
if you are on tamoxifen and are premenopausal, you will have more stimulation of your ovaries from the tamoxifen and have more (benign) ovarian cysts.
take care
