<< Hi list.

I have a 30 y.o G3P2 now at 14 weeks gestation. At 10 weeks she had a 10 cm simple cyst and moderate pain. I left it alone at that time but she has had waxing and waning episodes of pain, about once a week. I had hoped it was an atypical persistent corpus luteum. Cyst is still present, still 10 cm, and still moderately painful.

So would you wait, do an ovarian cystectomy/oophorectomy, or try open laparoscopy and drainage.

thanks for your thoughts

Before I answer that problem, I'll ask you a question myself: What would you have done, if she had the same problem, but wouldn't be pregnant? (10 cm cyst with symptoms).

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
