Surgery: Ovarian Cyst in PregnancyFrom: D.O'Brien (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 30 Aug 2000 15:11:17 -0500 (CDT)
I've been diagnosed with having a benign ovarian cyst (corpus luteum, 9cm+) and I am 10 weeks pregnant. My doctor feels that it should be removed at 16-20 weeks, after the placenta has taken over...HOWEVER, I'm finding it difficult to glean any further information from him than ' We'll chop you open and snip it out- You'll be fine.' Which, as you can imagine, is none too reassuring.... I'm worried silly about this operation- There are no other 'complications', and I'm a healthy 23 year old with 2 other children. Could you PLEASE send me some information on laparotomy etc. during pregnancy, and outline the risks to the a) my baby b) myself and c) my fertility following this surgical procedure. I would truly appreciate any help you could give me by way of information - especially the risk it in relation to miscarriage, premature labour or caesarean section labour. PLEASE reply, as I have tried many sources- and yours seems the most professional and my best chance of getting the information I so greatly need. Thanking you sincerely in advance, D.O'Brien.
