can an ovarian cyst be removed without removing the ovary?

ASKED by hsaperocho on July 5, 2008 - 8:09am

i'm 35 years old. when i was 17, my left ovary was removed because of a large cyst found in it. i got married at 25 and had 3 children. now, i had my routine check-up and it was found out that my right ovary had a cyst in it, measuring around 6.8 cm by 8 cm. my obgyne advised for a hysterectomy. is there any other option than removing everything including my uterus? can the cyst be removed without removing my ovary? i'm still very young...

Female Hormones - How are they Affecting Me?

Written by Dr. Daemon Jones on November 5, 2009 - 2:32pm

Today I want to talk about estrogens. Estrogens are a group of hormones that essential for women’s reproductive cycle health, menstruation, and fertility. Often when women talk about estrogens they will refer to estrogen as a single hormone when actually estrogens are a group of hormones. The major hormones we are talking about when we talk about estrogens are estrone, estrodial and estriol.

Learning About Our Hormones

Written by Dr. Daemon Jones on November 3, 2009 - 8:59am

According to Merriam-Webster’s medical dictionary the endocrine system is a group of body organs or structures that together perform one or more vital functions. The endocrine system releases secretions from glands into the bloodstream so they can act on specific organs to support the vital functions of the body. The secretions that are released from the glands are called hormones. Hormones are chemical substances produced in the body that regulate or modulate activity of the target cell or organ.

Who Needs A Symptom Diary?

Written by Annette Leal Mattern on October 28, 2009 - 5:40pm

Until recently, doctors didn’t really give much credence to women’s long lists of complaints. And if we were indistinct, well we probably came off as PMS-afflicted harpies.

Hello, I am here because a few months ago I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts and several uterine fibroids. The only cure I was told was to have a hysterectomy.

Peripheral Neuropathy as a Result of Cancer

Written by Elizabeth Stann... on October 21, 2009 - 4:13pm

Peripheral neuropathy is a neurological condition involving damage to the peripheral nerves—the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. Unfortunately, ten to 20 percent of cancer patients develop peripheral neuropathy during their course of treatment. While peripheral neuropathy adds an additional strain to a cancer patient's treatment and recovery, the American Society of Clinical Oncology notes that “many people recover fully from the disorder over time, whether it is in a few months or a few years.”
