Post menopausal cyst on fallopian tube
I have had an MRI and an ultra sound to determine what was causing my bloating and frequent bowel movements. After the MRI they thought it was a cyst on my ovary. The doctor said it was unusual because I am post menopausal. She order an Ultrasound to be sure, and found it was on my fallopian tube and not my ovary. She wants to take out the tube, as well as both ovaries. The reason was that they will only sit there or cause trouble (because I am post menopausal. She thinks the cyst can be from scar tissue and it may also be on my intestine (I am a little nervous about that), But my question is has anybody had a simmilar situation like this? I agree that my ovaries will just sit there, but I hate getting anything taken out of my body just because I won't need it. Anybody have any comments?
It sounds like it must be really hard even with an viginal ultrasound to see what is really going on. I had a tubal ligation over 25 years ago, and I think that may be why there is scar tissue that creates a cyst?!
Yes, because of the fibroids. I didn't have any gas pains this time round. Not sure why. I did when I had a laparoscopy way back in the early 70's (I had multiple cysts back then).
"Taking out everything" Did they want to remove your uterus? I wouldn't do that either. It seems like there is no need to do that unless there is a problem. She also mentioned I would be in some back and shoulder pain afterwards from the carbon dioxide they have to use to separate your organs. Did you experience that?
I'm also post menopausal, had a 10 cm cyst on my ovary which had to come out. At first my doctor was considering taking out everything because of my age plus I have fibroids in my uterus. After consulting with another doctor, she decided there was no need to do that. It would have been a more complicated surgery which only meant greater risks and longer recovery time for no added benefit. In the end I had my one ovary, tube and cyst removed. Went quickly and smoothly and I recovered in a short time.
