ovary removal at 24 years old...

[daisygirl24]

Hi I am new to this site, but I had a dermoid cyst last year about this time.  I went in for my yearly about a month ago, I was very sensative ot the touch and they found another one alredy grown in about the same size.  Since they had to cut out part of my ovary last time, this surgery will be to remove the ovary.  I am 24 years old and I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about the after effects of having one removed at an early age.  I have read lots of different opionion online about most scare me to death and all are different.  Any experience you have would be great. Thanks

Thanks alot I'm 22 and I just had my left ovary removed about 2 weeks ago. They found a dermoid cyst on my ovary when they did a sonogram of my first baby that I had back in December. I know I want more kids but I was just wondering if I'd have a period every other month, because before I had the cyst removed I had my periods every other month. I guess because my left ovary wasn't ovulating. I healed pretty quickly but it was done in same day surgery and my mom and husband were there to help. I was just trying to figure out if I would be able to calculate when I would ovulate monthly or if it'd be harder because I'd only ovulate every 2 months so thanks every one.

Hi Im 27 and had my left ovary out due to a large 15cm cyst. I waited three years to get it out cause I was scared to death. It formed while I was pregnant with my twins daughters. I had no pain only when the babys pushed on it but after didnt feel a thing but dr. was concerned so had to get it out...So I went into surgery a few days ago it went fine the most difficult part was getting me to believe everything would be alright! And it was..By the way the stitches when they are removed didnt hurt at all either in case you are wondering I actualy laughed it tickled..But my issue is I am having nausea all the time and want to know is this normal...I cant swing it, its like I am pregnant all over again..Also I left the hospital the next day after surgery on my own obmition just cause I dont like hospitals and Im doing fine other than bending over and cleaning and picking up kids.. Well hope this helps Shauna~

hi everyone!! i have had cysts since i was 17, i am 27 now. at my last appt the doctor found a cyst on left ovary and this one feels different. it hurts more and i am starting to swell. my mom had an emergency hysterectomy at 26 due to a cyst that ruptured. i want to remove the left ovary but am scared i might need a full hysterectomy. i have never had surgery before and it worries me. i have bad pain during sex and it hurts when i go #2 it seems like like everything swells and is very painful but only lasts for a few days each month. i only want to have one surgery and just want the pain to go away so what should i do my doc appt is on monday and i need to tell him what i want. we are checking to see if the cyst is getting any bigger.

unfortunately i had my right ovary removed at 22 due to oavrian cancer and have just been rediagnosed at 24. Doctors do say the other ovary will take over but in ,my case it hasn't. i experience all syptoms of menopause even though im not going through it from hot flushes to vaginal dryness etc. Each case is individual and i have always had hormonal problems! best of luck

       I just wanted to thank everyone for sharing their stories, because now I'm a little more relaxed from reading all of what everyone else had went through; even a 16-year-old.  You are really brave and so nice to share your story and give so many other people hope.  THANK YOU!
       Just one more thing..... Do you get to choose laparoscopic or open surgery, or does the doctor just tell you which he/she is doing?  I definately want laparoscopic.  My son had a laparoscopic surgery at 12 months and his recovery was lightening fast compared to what they told me.
