please can someone give me some advice?

Hi Janeliza that happened to me but i had a 11cm cyst and i had a hysterectomy.They said i had a choice either take the cyst and ovarie out or a hysterectomy because they might have to go back in.So i decided to have a full hysterectomy because i am 49 and i wasnt having any children i have 2 children.So i had the op on the 12th Sep this year and they opened me and the 11cm cyst turned out to be the size of a yellow melon so i am glad i decided to have it.

Hi Janeliza

I also have an ovarian cyst on my right ovary , it's 20.5 cm x 12 x 12 and I am booked in for a full hysterectomy on 1st Oct which is this wednesday for me . They told me I have to have a hysterectomy due to the fact that I have had cervical cancer in the past and that my blood level ca125 is high and I have tumor markers , which indicate cancer..Although they have told me it could be a borderline tumor , I won't know until it's out and tested .  The best thing would be to straight out ask them why you need to have a hysterectomy ? It could be a number of reasons, one being your age as they said with me , I'm 46 and have had two children etc. Do you have to have a pre op appointment ? If so ask them why when you go to that ? I am so scared about having to have my Op but I am trying to stay positive , and I hope you can too ,I also left a reply on your other post , best of luck to you xx

hi janeliza get it done hun ,i only had both ovaries and large dermoid tumor out last year ,wish i had full hysterectomy ,they didnt offer ,as im now in pain again have thickening of womb 16mm and cysts inside it,im going in hospital next thursday for biopsy ,i told them i want womb out,as i dont want nomore ops as ive had 2 already ,another was cyst on my kidney,had scans last week there acting quick,thank god,ill be in touch with the outcome,tc and be safe mags))ps im 56yrs as well....

You should ask why you need a full hysterectomy... It's your body after all and you who will have to recover from it... Is it worth another consultants opinion...? Plus discuss different options - laparoscopic, open or davinci (robot)... Be sure you're happy before you commit to surgery... A big operation to have. I had a fibroid removed open surgery and then 8 weeks later a full hysterectomy due to sarcoma of womb (open again)... So I'd go for the less invasive possible type of surgery... I hope it goes really well for you... But make sure you're 100% happy with everything before surgery.  It's your body after all and you that has to recover from it... 

hi how u doing,i had biopsy results today all clear.but i still have pain,my womb is 16mm thick,had polyps taken to,i have been through my menopause 7yrs ago,i want my womb removed so nothing can grow back,i am waiting for results in writing as they told me on the phone already,,i had both ovaries and large dermoid tumor removed 1.5 yrs ago,i just bascally had enough and the pains still there ,as anyone else been through this and still in pain.why they didnt take womb at 56yrs old who knows.just both ovaries n cyst that had torstion,so if i was you jane ild get rid of it all,thats me ,ill let you know what happens next tc all the best magsx

Hi there

I had a full abdominal hysterectomy in March due to three massive cysts and the problems they were causing. I'm thinking they are just being safe, as they don't really know what damage a cyst has done until they are in there. One of mine had begun to twist my ovary which would have caused more problems. Plus in many cases if cysts are removed they just grow back and you have to have more surgery. If you are worried the best person to ask is your surgeon. It's the best thing I have ever done and I feel great but everyone is different. Good luck and let us know how you get on.
