Laparotomy removed one ovary in 2003 from Endo, second in same danger From: Bennerebe (anonymous@obgyn.net) Thu Oct 25 13:49:18 2007 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Bennerebe: "Re: See a specialist!!!!"

I've never had a regular period and was placed on bc when I was 13 to control the excessive bleeding. In Jan. '03 I began to experience debilitating pain with my period. For months I went to doctor after doctor and was disregarded as just wanting Rx pain pills. In Sept. '03 I went to the ER for the second night in a row and was put on morphine. The doctor came into my ER room and said, "Geez, if you need morphine for your cramps, something's probably wrong". (yea think) After the surgery I awoke to find out that I had had an endometriotic cyst 'the size of a golf ball' (4.2cm) on my right ovary that had ruptured. The doctor had preformed a laparotmy and removed the entire ovary and tube. Since then I have been taking Progestin only pills. Up until now my only concern had been my fertility, but last week at my annual, another ultrasound shows that my remaining ovary is now 4.6cm wide (normal ovary is 2cm). I'm going to need some major delicate surgery and I am scared to pieces that they won't be able to save my only ovary, causing infertility and worse early menopause. There are some very horrific hysterectomy stories, but I couldn't find very much info about surgery to the ovary in this way, or what happens when ONLY the ovaries are removed. -- ~Rebecca Next message: Bennerebe: "Re: See a specialist!!!!"
