Ovarian Cyst

Hello! Desperate for answers from women who have had ovarian cyst removal. I’m so skeptical on if I should get the surgery. I’ve read they usually go away on their own but I’ve had this pain for at least a year now. It only happens when I’m ovulating and during sex. My cyst isn’t too big, 3cm which is the size of a grape. What I really want to know is if after having the surgery it really made a difference and if anymore cyst occurred even after getting them removed. All advice and help is appreciated to make this decision on surgery or no surgery

Hi!! I had a cyst removed because mine ruptured. I had never been in so much pain before

@Stephanie did you know about your cyst prior to the rupture? Is it something that bugged you?

I didn’t! Just randomly happened. Had I known, I would have had it removed before. Recovery from surgery was easy. I was back to work that week. The worst part was I lost a lot of blood from the rupture and almost needed a transfusion

@Stephanie oh my goodness. Glad everything turned out okay. Do you ever feel pains from the incisions or notice any pain after removal, after fully healing? I guess I’m just nervous my body will never be the same after.

I haven’t personally had cyst removal but my sister has and I had a tube removed (ruptured ectopic), from what I understand the surgeries are very similar. It was my first surgery and the recovery was super easy, I was terrified but everything went smoothly. Also, 3cm doesn’t seem that large but ovaries are usually about 6cm so it’s taking about half your ovary, if your skeptical I would get a second opinion but from what I understand now, they really don’t suggest surgery until it’s needed. My doctors have done everything under the sun for cysts, cervical cancer prevention, etc to avoid surgery.

@Randie thanks a lot! Yeah, I think I should do my best to avoid surgery for a 3cm cyst! Hoping pelvic floor therapy helps and that this cyst will go away on its own or at least stop growing

Sorry for delayed response. Nope! No issues what so ever!
