Q: 

Should I remove an ovary?

I'm only 20 years old, I had a 10 cm cyst on my left ovary that was surgically removed almost 3 months ago, a month after my surgery I went back to my gyne to have an ultrasound and found out that i have a 6x7 cyst on my right ovary. She started me on birth control pills that have been driving me insane!! I have abnormal mood swings, I've gained almost 5 kilos and I can barely sleep. I'm not sure if it's because I'm stressed or if it's the symptoms of the birth control. Also, I've been feeling a lot of pain coming from my left ovary, and I'm worried another cyst has formed there. I have another appointment with my gyne in a month, but I've been thinking lately about removing an ovary. I'm not married and I don't have children, and I'm worried if cysts keep appearing that my gyne would suggest to remove both ovaries. I don't know what to do, I'd love to have children in the future. Do you think there's another solution? Gyne's in the country I'm living in aren't top notch so if you have any suggestions please let me know :)

Hi they my name is kavita Deonarine I am twentyfive years old. I had a bleeding problem so I went to my gynaecologiest and he told me that I have a ovary cyst on my right side. My gynaecologiest gave me Lindynette birthcontrol .I went back after a month for another examination.They told me that I was pregnant and now I have a three year old son.
