Consult with Oncologist...
Dec 8 2007, 10:39 PM EST
Hi - I'm Tabitha and I'm 21. I'm a mother of one, Cole who is 7 months.
I've had issues with my right ovary since 2006 - I had a 6+cm cyst, and it was removed laproscopically *June 30, 06*. It was found benign, and at first look on ultrasound my OB believed I would lose the ovary/tube, but it was saved. After the surgery I found out I was pregnant with my son *Sept 7, 06*.
Delivered my son 5/2/07 vaginally. Started with the pelvic pain once again, and found another large cyst on my right ovary. It was 4+cm. I also had what was thought to be left over placenta in my uterus that had calcified, so I had laproscopic drainage of the cyst and a D&C.
The very NEXT day after surgery the pelvic pain was back, like I had never had anything done. The biopsy came back benign for the left ovary, nothing was taken from the right.
I'm an x-ray tech, my close girlfriend is a sonographer so I have access anytime to an sneak peak at my ovaries. I can tell a doctor before an ultrasound that I have a cyst on my ovary and about how large it is just by how my body feels, how I feel during bowel movements, how gassey I am, how painful intercourse is, and how painful the pressure of urination is for me. It's an awful feeling.
I'm requesting that my right ovary be removed, but because of my age my new OB is have his reservations. He feels that there is something going on that is causing this, although he doesn't feel it to be cancerous he feels that it needs further evaluation - and seeing an oncologist is a good move in his opinion.
Do you think I should be worried, or that he is just 'crossing all his T's and dotting his I's' just to make sure nothing is being missed for this persistent, intense and never-ending pain? I'm ready for a hysterectomy and would never look back if it wasn't for my desire for another baby...
Any advice is welcome - thank you all!
