Hi Ann

Hi I understand how scared you are unfortunitly im in the same boat . 

hi ann im a 15 years old and for quite a while now  people kept on asking why i weighed  so much and why did i have a great big tummy but weeks ago i went for a yearly checkup and  i layed down and the doctor looked at me and asked me if i was sexually active and she asked if i am pregant 

i told her hat i was not and that i wasnt pregant

she sent for an adobmnal ct scan 

the results showed a large ovarian mass that was 26 cm

it reaches my ribbcage on 9/03 which is tomorrow i will be going under to drain it out with a 3 inch incession 

i will update and tell you how the surgery went.

Hi,

I had my ovarian cyst removed a few months ago. Mine was 3.5 liters, it stretched my stomach. I am 15. 

Hi Ann. My name is Kari. I live in Seattle Washington. I am 30 years old, and i just 2weeks ago had a gigantic fibroid removed that was 24cm and weighed 4lbs the largest my hospital has removed whole and in tack. I was not in any pain 2 months ago when i went for my yearly check up, but i had a lump in my stomach and no matter how hard i worked out i couldn't get my stomach flat. My gynecologist when giving my exam, took 1look and frantically called and set up a referral to a second gynecologist. Whom was amazing. But they told me that i had 3-5 very large fibroids that needed to be removed and were very worried at how fast they had grown in just 1year. I was put on lupron depot therapy that put me into menopause at age 30, and this was supposed to help shrink the fibroids to make them easier to remove for surgery. However for me this did not work and in 1 month my fibroids had grown about 8cm larger. I was also deathly anemic due to loss of blood from menstruating for 25 days. 

Due to insurance problems here in the US, i was not able to schedule surgery until i was able to get insurance through the state. Finally the beginning of November i was able tip get insurance and get the ball rolling. My surgery was finally scheduled for November 20th. Unlike most total hysterectomy's i had to have an abdominal versus laproscopicly done. I was in the hospital for 3days. And have been home now for 2weeks. It is quit painful. But am glad to have it done and on my way to healing up. I get very tired just doing easy things like showering, or blow drying my hair. But every day gets easier, i was so scared for the surgery, but thats the easy part, after wards healing and not being able to do normal activities is the hard part.  I found a great website called hystersisters that answered a ton of my questions i had about pretty much Any thing. I hope you get this done soon and heal quickly. 

Hi everyone!

A week ago my mom 60 years old went for her routine physical and the doctor suggested an ultrasound because she felt something in her abdomen. Her bloodwork and urine came back fine. Her ultrasound results came back and everything was fine except for a 24cm ovarian mass on her ovary. Tomorrow she is going for a cat scan. I am extremely worried that it can be cancer.

Hi Jimmy I'm 39 and I just found out that I have a cyst on my right ovary that is 20cm and I'm having pain could that be causing it and can I have it removed

On March 23 I ended up in the er for abdominal pain, found I have a 25x22x30 centimeter mass from my ovary. My surgery is April 12, my surgeon is going to attempt to drain to the size of a grapefruit then remove laparoscopic. If not will be open surgery.

I am 61 and have 3 large cysts, one of each ovary and one next to my bladder. I have been waiting 6 months now for my operation, when an appointment came for operation, it was cancelled at the last minute. These cysts have pushed up my diaphragm badly making me look 9 months pregnant. This heavy weight has had a big affect on my everyday life. Getting back ache when walking, out of breath badly just going up the stairs, this has a knock on effect with my weight in general. I have always been a size 16 to 18, I had to buy a coat in a size 24 to go around my tummy, this I can not do up now. This gets me down a lot and its all a vicious circle.

When I was 22, I went to the emergency room with severe pain in my lower right pelvic area. An ultrasound showed that I had a 23 cm mass on my right ovary that had started to twist my ovaries around. They rushed me into surgery to remove the mass and it turned out to have been a mucinous cystandenoma. The scariest part about the whole ordeal was the fact that I had been to the gynecologist 2 weeks prior and was checked for cysts. She told me I had none so, it must have grown that large in a VERY short amount of time. Though I didn't have any proof, I was fairly certain it was caused by the birth control I was on at the time. (Nuvaring) Then, yesterday, I had to go to the emergency room again with the same pain on the opposite side. They, again, found a mucinous cystandenoma only it was significantly smaller (7 cm) and had ruptured. I have not been on birth control since the first incident in 2015 because I was afraid of it happening again. PCOS has been the most difficult and painful medical issue I've had to deal with in my young life so far and I've had over 10 surgeries since I was 18. My greatest fear is that because of it I'll never be able to have children and that I may lose the organs all together. I don't know if this helps at all, but just know you're not alone.
