Re: what's the piont?From: D.N. (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Nov 7 18:42:27 2002
Hi Melissa, A hyst does not guarantee getting rid of endo. If the ovaries are removed intact at the same time, your chances are higher to be rid of it, but then you have to deal with menopause. However, there is the chance they can't get all of your ovaries out because of adhesions and endo and all it takes is a small part of an ovary to continue to cause problems. I am sorry there aren't definative answers. It makes decisions on what to do more difficult. I had a hyst with my left ovary removed. My right one was fine at the time of surgery. Less than a year and half later, my right ovary was covered in endo and adhesions. They couldn't get all my right ovary out, so now I have ORS and still have endo. I am perimenopausal so that helps some with the endo, but peri is a pain too. I wish I could offer you better answers. Best wishes.
