hi.. i have been sleepless since the day i found out that i have cyst in my left ovary which is now 7.8cm size. the doctor told me that i have to go through surgery to remove it.. i have been researching and wanting to know what cause of this or is there any another option beside surgery? im only 24 and im really scared..
Has your doctor indicated if your cyst is simple or complex? Any complex cyst that is over 5cm warrants having a consult with a gynecologic oncologist prior to your surgery. Although the risk is still very small, these types of cysts can be malignant. A gyn/onc can improve your overall prognosis if malignancy is found. Ask your doctor about your type of cyst and talk to him about a gyn/onc if he indicates it is a complex cyst. Hang in there!
